Trailer: Johnny Depp in 'The Rum Diary' (Hunter S. Thompson)

Checkout the cool and crazy-intense adventure of Paul Kemp played by Johnny Depp in the upcoming 'The Rum Diary', based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson.

Tiring of the noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late Eisenhower-era America, journalist Paul Kemp travels to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper, The San Juan Star, run by downtrodden editor Lotterman. Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island, Paul soon becomes obsessed with Chenault, the wildly attractive Connecticut-born fiancée of Sanderson. Sanderson, a businessman involved in shady property development deals, is one of a growing number of American entrepreneurs who are determined to convert Puerto Rico into a capitalist paradise in service of the wealthy. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson to write favorably about his latest unsavory scheme, the journalist is presented with a choice: to use his words for the corrupt businessmen’s financial benefit, or use them to take the bastards down.

Other cast includes Amber Heard, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Rispoli, Richard Jenkins, Giovanni Ribisi and Marshall Bell.

Directed by Bruce Robinson.

Disney Shut Downs Johnny Depp's 'The Lone Ranger'!

You will have to wait a little longer for the gun-slinging adventure of "The Lone Ranger" because the western flick received a financial setback. Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer failed to agree with the estimated proposed budget cost for this big-screen adaptation --- Disney decided to shut down the production.

According to deadline, "Disney pulled the plug because of the budget. I've heard the filmmakers were trying to reduce the film's cost from $250 million (some even say $275 million) down to $232 million. But it wasn't the $200 million that Disney wanted to spend."

Armie Hammer was set to play the title character, with Depp playing as the Indian sidekick Tonto. This Gore Verbinski-directed film was scheduled to be released Dec. 21, 2012.

It seems Disney dollar are being sucked by the other big budget films such as "John Carter," and "Oz: The Great and Powerful." The Lone Ranger became the easy target for the cut.

Depp's “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” which Verbinski directed, grossed more than $1 billion globally.

Minus the alien invaders, pricey costumes... Many are surely asking -- Why does a western need to cost $250 million? Verbinski-Depp-Bruckheimer got great numbers at the box office but it seems the proposed budget is too much.. And you will surely asked how solid is the script?
