Johnny Depp, Aaron Eckhart, Amber Heard and several of their closest friends are in Puerto Rico shooting Bruce Robinson's adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's THE RUM DIARY. While shooting, Depp plays Paul Kemp, the self-destructive journalist who resorts to alcoholism and obsession to pass the time. While not shooting, Depp is most likely having sex with Amber Heard because he can.

Here are some photos of Depp on set driving around in a classic Fiat 500, looking pretty beat up. These photos don't necessarily prove that Depp and Heard are having an affair, but they do little to disprove it either. Check out the rest of the photos HERE.

Extra Tidbit:	Giovanni Ribisi and Richard Jenkins also star in the film

I thought Raoul Duke/Paul Kemp were based on Hunter at various periods of his life, therefore Depp's Performance in F&L was based on Hunter after spending time with him and learning his mannerisms & nuances (sp?), thats why i wonder, even if he's not drug addled surely he'll play it similar (albeit with more hair and less druginess)

Thompson was drug-addled in F&L which explains the mannerisms - The Rum Diary doesn't go there.

Finally...

I doubt Depp will be doing the whole Raoul Duke thing from Fear and Loathing as this was written in the early 60's and takes place in the late 50's, a good 12-13 years before Fear and Loathing. However this is the beginning of his Gonzo journalism style so hopefully there will be flashes..I cant wait!

Will Depp be acting like he did in Fear & Loathing? (the walk, voice etc) I've never read the book.

Awesome, can't wait.

Not crazy about the book (I thought it was dry & drawn-out, trying too-conciously to ape a sort of Hemingway-ish style), but Depp playing Thompson again + naked chick from Pineapple Express = me so there.

Great book, gonna be a great movie. Depp is the only one allowed to play Duke/Kemp/Thompson in my eyes.

Something Done Right

I'm Looking Forward to this Movie. I've been meaning to read the book. I heard it's really good. It's sad the great Hunter Thompson won't be able to see it.

Fear & Loathing in San Juan

Definitely looking forward to this film! With Col. Depp being a close personal friend of Hunter S. Thompson's, this should turn out to be incredible. Plus, Amber Heard gets naked. Too bad I can't buy a ticket right now...
