Woot, who's excited for more Hunter S. Thompson goodness? I know I am. And I'm pretty sure I know DaDi's answer as well, hehe. ;D Go read the book if you haven't yet. It's great. I cannot, cannot, cannot wait for this film, I think it's going to be fantastic. I also hear Johnny is going to have to move in with Hunter again, like he did for F+L. That should be interesting.

Yes, Yes, read it! You all must read it! *grabs her copy and fetishes* To give you an overview, picture Hunter at 22: before he fell into the drugs (and the bald) of Fear and Loathing. He's an aspiring journalist that gets send to Puerto Rico! Oh I really want it to be called 'Fear and Loathing in the Caribbean,' that would be great. But I'm really excited about this film. Not only will it show what an *ss hunter is (hehe), and gets a look into his bad habits such as alcoholism, but it will also be FUN! Although I don't see HOW in g0d's name Josh Hartnett's gonna be able to play Yeamon without getting his *ss FIRED! Look at what you've started, Halia. -DaDi

Haha. Couldn't resist, mate. And oh man, I know, Josh Hartnett playing Yeamon...I saw that too on imdb.com, and my brain just stopped. How in god's name are they going to pull that one off? Well, Benicio's directing it. And he is a genius. So he'll likely come up with something to make us take Josh relatively seriously in this part. I just can't see how he'll do it... LOL! Fear and Loathing in the Caribbean! That'd be something, aye?

Ooo, F&L in the Caribbean? That definitely gets FF's stamp of approval. I'm really going to have to read the Rum Diary. I've never read it before. I know, bad Hunter fan! Bad Hunter fan! But I plan to rectify that situation now that I've got all of Christmas break to do whatever the heck I want. Huzzah!! ;D

Allow me to correct you in all my perfectionist glory.
Johnny as Kemp as Hunter in the Caribbean with Rum and some dirty girls.
