>tfw Johnny Depp is now too old to play Hunter S. Thompson in a movie version of "Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72"
We missed out, /tv/.

Oscar Issac could probably do it, but he almost feels like too safe of a choice.
Thank fucking God, Thompson was nothing more than a pathetic and edgy DUDE WEED LMAO idiot.
>>69712127
You've never read any of his books huh?
>>69712014
Good
Depp hasn't carried a decent role in years and years and is literally just a fat pompous idiot now
>>69712157
Did you? Fear and Loathing is an absolute piece of shit.
Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 would upset too many Berniefags

>>69712389
Do you even understand his work? You do realize he would be exactly a fedora tipping redditor nowadays, right?
>>69712282
Which fear and loathing you goddamn moron, fear and loathing was the beginning of like 4 of his books.
>>69712127
>“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”
Is it bad writing?
>>69712533
Vegas.
>>69712582
Yes, try reading the work of good writers next time.
>>69712127
you should check out his book on the Hell's Angels it's pretty tight.
>>69712628
How do you feel about Dick Francis?
Forget about HST for a second. Who plays McGovern? Who plays Nixon?
>>69712014
It's 2016 you fucking Gen X faggot. We have major stars like RDJ in major motion pictures like Iron Man Civil War CGIing their faces to look young and audiences pay billions to see it. Wake up. It's not "le 1990s" anymore. A toddler can make make a movie with Jurassic Park level CGI and instantly publish it to the world. It is 2016
>>69712014
Would it be a good movie though, I know Thompson didn't like Nixon much, but I'm sure it would just be a hit piece on based Tricky Dick, making him out to be Satan incarnate.
its a quirky libertarian that I never read but pretend to like episode
Testing
>>69712127
I hate you
>>69712766
are you ok
>>69712628
This desu
James Patterson is 100x better than hunter queer Thompson
>amirite?
>>69712628
who the fuck let you out of /lit/
>>69712904
Well the movie would be heavily stylized. You'd have to sort of channel Ralph Steadman's aesthetic, since it's so integral to Thompson's mystique. So Nixon at minimum would look somewhat demonic.
>>69712014
Well they can just cast someone new to play him. I fee llike people don't know this but Bill Murray played Hunter in Where the Buffalo Roam and Johnny was obviously in Fear and Loathing.
So they should cast a new person, the only question is who?
>>69712014
Who gives a fuck about Depp, that movie was all about Terry Gilliam's skill
You're a pleb for giving importance to Depp's shaved effort.
>>69713423
Put in the hands of a competent director I'm sure it would be interesting, but I could just see it being a Brian Cranston type of communist propaganda.
>>69712582
Not really, it's very emotional, farewell may well be tacky. Both Fear and Loathing and Hell's Angels are very good books.
>>69713501
The trick is that Depp actually knew Thompson, and presumably Murray met him also. I worry that a new actor wouldn't bring as authentic a performance to the movie.

OH LOOK, an SJW trying to shut down discourse using babby-tier thought stoppers. Google some more, second-hander.
