Johnny Depp’s latest,
The Rum Diary, opens tonight—an adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's semi-autobiographical novel about working at an ailing newspaper in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the late 1950s. Filming was done on location on the island (which was recently top-rated in our annual
Readers’ Choice Awards, along with several snazzy
hotels and
resorts). Johnny Depp, no stranger to working in the Caribbean, speaks fondly the two months he spent in Puerto Rico. "It's very vivid; there's a real celebration of life there," he told
Entertainment Tonight. "The people there are very warm and welcoming—in truth, the sweetest people on Earth."
