The true story of an American band of misfits using establishment rules to challenge establishment rule, Fear and Loathing in Aspen is based on author and activist Hunter S. Thompson’s 1970 campaign for Sheriff of Aspen, Colorado, which centered around police reform and environmental justice. Written and directed by Bobby Kennedy III and starring Jay Bulger, Cheryl Hines, Amaryllis Fox and Laird Macintosh, this new feature film will be released July 23, 2021 in select theaters nationwide from Shout! Studios.
In 1970, Hunter S. Thompson -- fed up with local pollution problems -- threw his hat into the ring for Sheriff of Aspen, Colorado. His attempt to create a third party based around a new, gentler style of law enforcement entranced the national press and made him an overnight celebrity and hero to the "drop out" generation, who rallied around his "Freak Power" platform with notions of taking first Aspen, and then the world. The only thing capable of holding them back was Thompson himself.

The actor looks JUST LIKE HIM!. I couldn't tell at first. The voice the hair and lack of of hair. Gold

[@jizzaymz]

Truly sad that John Dunsworth died a few years ago as I always thought that he would've been perfect for playing the ultimate HST role ever.

[@thrill37]

Lahey and Randy in a remake of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas would have been incredible.

[@jizzaymz]

@@thrill37 🤣 there's no denying that Dunsworth looked alot like Hunter and he was an extremely talented actor who had a knack for playing characters who were no strangers to substance abuse. I think John would've done an excellent job portraying Hunter in a film depicting the later stages of HST's life had he not died a few years ago

[@JohnDubs]

Hunter Shithawk Thompson

[@Uncle_Troy]

Hunter S. Thompson was probably an even more elaborate character than the fictitious Jim Lahey. Also, it looks like HTS is being depicted at a much younger age than what would be appropriate for John to play a role in.

Depp never looked like HST, managed to capture the voice though.

[@zippymufo9765]

Plus he's playing HST as a real person and not a cartoon character. On many levels HST resented his public caricature image (even if he was to blame for starting it). There's that BBC documentary where he's visibly seething at the interviewer: "I have a wife and a child."

It’s not a remake and the title is also different. Thompson used “Fear and Loathing” to start a few of his book names. It seems well made for a low budget movie. I’m sure I’ll watch it whenever it’s on a platform of some kind that I don’t have to pay for.

Am i the only one who thinks hells angels should/could be a movie? Like a really realistic, dark and gritty movie capturing key moments in the book? I think itd be fuckin awesome, especially if it played out like a horror movie essentially. Honestly if i was a billionaire id adapt all of HSTs best stories and hire depp to do them all😂😂

[@nickt7486]

@officialaustenmorpho3224 I would agree but I don't think it would be as big as those 4.

[@officialaustenmorpho3224]

@@nickt7486 yea it would definitely be a niche for most likely only more dedicated fans of hst who have read the book. However he has a lot of stories in great shark hunt that could be short films, and are more accessible. Hells angels is just so dark. But kentucky derby is d&d would be a great short film i think

[@RileyZilla1001]

It was pretty damned great. One of the best Thompson pics made

[@Nikoolaid]

As far as the flesh of the film goes I think it's great. Bulger's portrayal of Hunter unfortunately is lacking outside of his likeness and voice. Depp and even Murray were far better at ironing out his physicality in terms of body language .etc and for me that's a huge part of Thompsons Quark.

[@chizorama]

Depp & Murray spent a lot of time with Hunter before they played him, he's a hard guy to peg, but I get what you're saying.

[@montysano]

Totally disagree. I thought Bulger nailed what is important about HST.

[@MelancholyProductions]

Are you deaf? He sounds a lot like him, almost thought it was his voice for a second.

[@robertmartinez2790]

I have to say the voice is pretty spot on and the mannerisms are pretty good also. I think you are imagining a residual image of Hunter S. Thompson from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” but his day to day speech and mannerisms are done pretty convincingly in this movie

[@reecegraves3738]

I think your overthinking this abit man, the acting was good and the mannerisms were similar your just overthinking this definitely.

[@Dumbass4ever2001]

I think you’re opinion is way off. It is a good performance and great story, but his portrayal is lacking in mannerisms and body language, as well as the speech being quite a bit off. Depp captured the embodiment of HST in true form

This looks fantastic! The only thing that bothers me is that the actor didn't bother to shave his head to appear bald/ing like Hunter (yes, I know, he actually shaves his head completely in the film because Hunter did in real life but that's not what I'm talking about).

[@jonathanpence9067]

@@Bonesph Hmmm, I thought it was the mid-seventies when he ran for sheriff but Wikipedia says it was 1970--so I stand corrected there. Now, the video you linked is from 1967, right after he published Hell's Angels, so, not really from the same time but he did have a lot more hair then. Maybe he didn't significantly start losing hair until after 1970 but I could've sworn he was already balding in the footage I saw of him from that time; maybe I'm wrong. Either way the movie looks good!

@@roberttemple2521 I have seen it it’s very good! I’m envious of you though. I always wanted to meet Hunter.

[@roberttemple2521]

@@BNumbersStation I was just cracking the seal to a Gatorade when in comes Hunter in a jeep Wagoneer. He threw the Jeep into park while it was still moving, making some awful eggbeater noises in the transmission, coming to a halt just inches from the store's outside wall. He gingerly hopped out and put a coin in the public phone there. As I sipped my drink, I overheard Hunter say something like, "Is, Is it, is it in yet, is it in?" I glanced over my shoulder at the jetport, just on the other side of Highway 82, and chuckled. I imagined Hunter anxiously awaiting the touchdown of some pink, precious, shimmering, opalescent product from Peru. When Hunter finished his short call, I intercepted him and asked him if he is the "Doctor". He mumbled, "Uh, yeah, yeah, I guess, sometimes, yeah, sometimes." I explained that I grew up with a newspaper writer in Maine who also hated bureaucrats, wrote with a forked tongue, too. He was also a drinking buddy of my dad. I explained that I wanted Hunter to read some of my family friend's writing. I asked how I could get some of my friend's writing to him. He said, "Come down to the Woody Creek Tavern sometime." Weeks, maybe months went by, but I did eventually go "down valley" to the Tavern. When I walked in, one of the first things I saw was a giant poster on a door on the other side of the room. The poster was of Ed Meese with "MEESE IS A PIG!" printed over his image in big, block letters. I asked if Hunter was about. The bartender said, "Nope, you just missed him. He did a few rails on the bar and then left." I never did see Hunter again, nor get any of my friend's writings to him. I wish I had invited Hunter to that "Thursday night away from the ol' lady blues jam" I was going to in a small studio near the 7/11. I play harmonicas. I don't know if Hunter dug the blues, but I know he would've enjoyed some of the "snacks" the others always had on hand at the jams. That Hawaiian always gave me wicked cottonmouth [natural enemy for harmonica players], hence my purchase of the refreshing antidote, Gatorade.
