    More than a decade after Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Johnny Depp returns to Hunter S. Thompson territory with The Rum Diary, in theaters October 28.

    In The Rum Diary, Depp plays Paul Kemp, a roving New York City journalist in the Eisenhower era who escapes to pristine Puerto Rico for a gig at the local, run-down newspaper, The San Juan Star. In between gallons of rum and LSD trips, Kemp soon becomes obsessed with the incredibly attractive Connecticut-born fiancée (Amber Heard) of Sanderson, a shady American entrepreneur (Aaron Eckhart).

    When Kemp discovers that Sanderson and his cohorts are looking to convert the country into a capitalist paradise for the wealthy, he's faced with helping to promote their corrupt scheme -- or take them down, big time.

    Also starring Richard Jenkins, Michael Rispoli and Giovanni Ribisi, the film is directed by Bruce Robinson (Withnail & I).

    Wow that's disappointing to hear. I'll probably still redbox then if that's true.

    I've recently concluded that I will watch absolutely anything associated with Amber Heard.
