One More Rum Diary Picture

Sorry, there's this other picture that I didn't put in the last post from The Rum Diary starring Johnny Depp

Awesome Johnny Depp News!

To begin with, here are the first production photos of Johnny in the Rum Diary (finally!!)

More info about the film over at Entertainment.gather.com







And also, Johnny is planning on launching his own record label, and is apparently looking for interesting acts (according to The Sun he sent out talent scouts from Unison Music, which he founded). As you may know, Johnny had hopes of being a famous musician before becoming an actor, and just recently produced a new record with Babybird. More news to come!

Rum Diary and Terminator Ending

According to http://www.aceshowbiz.com the ending to Terminator Salvation has been changed after the script leaked onto the internet back in 2008. Check out the link for more details!

An update about Johnny Depp's project, The Rum Diary, from http://www.empireonline.com

Giovanni Ribisi has signed up to join Johnny Depp in The Rum Diary, the adaptation of legendary gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson's memoir of his time in Puerto Rico during the 1950s.

The film's been in development for years - Depp's been trying to make it since 2000 - but perhaps that's appropriate given that the book sat on Thompson's shelf for 40 years after it was written after being rejected by a raft of publishers. However, now things are under way: Bruce Robinson (Withnail & I, Happy Feet) is writing and directing, and the cast is almost set.

Depp is playing washed-up journalist Paul Kemp; Amber Heard is playing Chenault, the free-spirit who dates a colleague but becomes involved with Kemp as well; Aaron Eckhart is the wealthy Sanderson and recent Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins is paper editor Lotterman. It's not clear yet who Ribisi will play - we're guessing either Moberg or Yeamon - but we do know he's a "carousing journalist", one of what Thompson called the "ill-tempered, wandering rabble" who staffed the backwater paper.

Filming starts in Puerto Rico on Wednesday. And hey! At least now when Jack Sparrow asks "But where has rum gone?" we'll know the answer.
