this is bat country, again

so "they" are going to (god willing) make another Hunter S. Thompson book adaptation. So all the people i know who worship Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas will be very excited to know that Benicio Del Toro himself will be directing thompson's The Rum Diary, i think its one of his earlier books. They are trying to sign johnny depp, nick nolte, and for some reason josh hartnett to the project.......i guess terry gilliam is too busy this time.
