The Rum Diary – Official Trailer

In theaters October 28, 2011!
Based on the debut novel by Hunter S. Thompson, “The Rum Diary” tells the increasingly unhinged story of itinerant journalist Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp). Tiring of the noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late Eisenhower-era America, Kemp travels to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper, The San Juan Star, run by downtrodden editor Lotterman (Richard Jenkins). Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island, Paul soon becomes obsessed with Chenault (Amber Heard), the wildly attractive Connecticut-born fiancée of Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart). Sanderson, a businessman involved in shady property development deals, is one of a growing number of American entrepreneurs who are determined to convert Puerto Rico into a capitalist paradise in service of the wealthy. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson to write favorably about his latest unsavory scheme, the journalist is presented with a choice: to use his words for the corrupt businessmen’s financial benefit, or use them to take the bastards down.

Per la gioia di noi fan sfegatati (nel senso che il fegato ce lo siamo giocati) di Hunter S. Thompson, il trailer ufficiale del film tratto dal romanzo “The Rum Diary”, per la regia di Bruce Robinson, con Johnny Depp, Amber Heard (buona come il pane), Aaron Eckhart e Giovanni Ribisi.

Per l’uscita negli USA tocca aspettare il 28 ottobre, da noi ancora non si sa…
