RUM HITS THE SPOT

Aaron Eckhart and Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins will be hitting the sauce with Johnny Depp in The Rum Diary, the screen adaptation of the Hunter S. Thompson novel. Actress Amber Heard (Pineapple Express) also is on board. It’s the tale of Paul Kemp (Depp), a washed-up, hard-drinking journalist in 1950s Puerto Rico. Eckhart would play Sanderson, a wealthy landowner who believes everything has a price and introduces Kemp to a different standard of living and is also the third element of the central love triangle. This is very familiar territory for Depp, who starred in Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas many moons ago.
