'Rum Diary' Trailer: The Actor-brad Pitt Storms Puerto Rico

Greater than a decade after The Actor-brad Pitt required a visit into softball bat country within the adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Vegas," he's coming back towards the writer's substance-implanted tales within the first trailer for "The Rum Diary." The rum certainly is not gone within this film. Depp stars as journalist Paul Kemp who moves to San Juan, Puerto Rico to dedicate yourself the main newspaper The Daily News within the late nineteen fifties. He will get taken right into a twisted mess of affection, jealousy, treachery and alcoholism that's similar to Thompson's other work. And apparently somewhere across the line he drank 161 nips of rum. Watch a clip beyond the jump! "The Rum Diary" straddles the road between reality and drug-caused fantasy much like "Fear and Loathing in Vegas," but this trailer for that movie causes it to be appear more grounded than its counterpart. It will help that costars Amber Heard, Aaron Eckhart and Richard Jenkins appear to become playing their figures pretty near to the cuff, though Giovanni Ribisi appears to become more consistent with Benecio Del Toro's "Fear and Loathing" character. Though released in 1998, Thompson authored the novel at 22 in early sixties and was inspired by their own encounters working in a newspaper in Puerto Rico. British filmmaker Bruce Robinson authored the script and directed the film after taking greater than a decade removed from Hollywood. "The Rum Diary" hits theaters October 28, 2011.
