Bruce Robinson’s “The Rum Diary” project is quickly taking shape. Amber Heard was in negotiations to join Johnny Depp in the pre-‘Fear & Loathing’ Hunter S. Thompson adaptation as the female lead and has evidently now signed on. Plus Aaron Eckhart and Oscar nominee Richard Jenkins (“The Visitor”) are in the mix as well according to THR.
Jenkins has already signed on and Eckhart is apparently in negotiations. Bruce Robinson directed the incredible mad satire, “How to Get Ahead in Advertising” and “Withnail & I” and is also writing the adaptation.
