Was just about to start a thread for this.

I have been waiting about 10 years for this to happen, since Del Toro was planning on directing, so glad to finally see a trailer. It looks great imo. And I actually like that Terry isn't back so it doesn't feel as psychedelic as Fear and Loathing, which it shouldn't

Definately my most anticipated movie and a wonderful break from all the stupid Superhero crap.

That looks great! It's been a long time since I read the book - I'll have to read it again before I see this.

And I just happen to be wearing my Hunter S. Thompson shirt.

I'm getting into some Hunter. My only knowlage of him was Fear and Loathing. So I finally picked up the last copy of Fear and Loathing at Borders, my buddy cleaned out the rest of his works, and watched Gonzo. After I finish Fear, i'll read the rest. He's a pretty interesting human being, and I would've voted for him for shariff.

I have all his books - His on the Campaign Trail works are great.

I want to read them. No, need to...

I stopped waiting for this movie ten years ago. Very happily surprised to see the trailer last night! I didn't even know it was in production (and apparently shelved for a while after).

Too bad HST didn't live to see it.
