I'm glad they're done with the Pirates series, so Depp can FINALLY start filming The Rum Diary
Let me put it this way....until unauthorized pictures are snapped for a geek movie news website, I won't believe RUM DIARY is happening until I see it actually happening with my own cyborg-bionic eyes.
Anyway, I hope it actually finally happens.
P.S. - Pizzaboy, novelizations usually are based on early script drafts of movies, so don't be surprised if the final film product is similar overall, but with substantial differences in the details.
