Then buzz it up

See? It isn’t all bad news at hecklerspray towers.
Good Thing Number One: Johnny Depp is to reprise his role as Hunter S.Thompson in the upcoming film adaptation of the Gonzo genius’s The Rum Diary.
Good Thing Number Two: Benico Del Toro is also set to star.
Good Thing Number Three: the director is none other than Mr. Bruce Robinson, all-round wonderful man and driving force behind seminal British comedy Withnail And I and the actually-quite-good (go and watch it again) How To Get Ahead In Advertising.
Grizzly-voiced Hollywood man Nick Nolte is set to co-produce the long-delayed movie. This almost made it into our Good Things list, but then we remembered he was the worst thing about Hulk, and changed our minds.
So … is there anything bad to say about this? Anything that will lever the scales, whipping back the blinds of euphoria to reveal the harsh reality outside?
Why, yes, there is. Apparently Josh Hartnett is involved.
Can’t win ‘em all …
