Johnny To Begin Work on “Rum Diaries”

EW.com reports that Johnny will soon begin work on The Rum Diaries. The Rum Diaries is Hunter S. Thompson’s autobiographical book, written in 1959 when he was 22 years old, but not published until 1998.

Johnny will play Paul Kemp, a freelance newspaper journalist in Puerto Rico in 1959. Kemp is surrounded by a group of self-destructive lost souls. He is also producing the film.

Work on Rum Diaries is expected to begin as soon as Johnny wraps Shantaram, about an Australian drug addict who resumes a life of crime after escaping to India. Johnny has a lot of projects in the works. Looks like we’ll be seeing lots of him in the near future!
