Hunter S Thompson story heads for big screen
Prisoner of Denver, about the gonzo reporter's campaign to free a Colorado woman wrongly convicted of murder, is to be turned into a film
Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Art Linson's Where the Buffalo Roam and Bruce Robinson's forthcoming The Rum Diary all feature lead characters based on the late Hunter S Thompson. Now the original gonzo reporter looks set to get a fresh turn on the big screen after one of his final written works was optioned by Hollywood. And this time he has a sidekick.
