The first trailer for the adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson‘s The Rum Diary has been released.

We’ve embedded the video above–what do you think? It will hit theaters in late October this year. As we previously noted, Oscar nominee Johnny Depp stars in this film about young writer living in Puerto Rico.

Depp actually played Thompson in the 1998 adaptation of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. (via Deadline)
