The trailer says it all really: From the mind of Hunter S. Thompson. What else do you need to know?

The author behind the great Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas has another one of his pieces turned into a film, and I’m excited. It’s looking pretty great. Actually, I’m surprised. I did not expect it to look this good. Johnny Depp looks great, Amber Heard looks good, and the cast is rounded out by Aaron Eckhart, Richard Jenkins and Giovani Ribisi. The film opens October 28. Watch the trailer below. [ET via Comingsoon]
