How exciting to be able to say I was at the same place where Johnny Depp was at AND at the same time. Of the almost two decades I have continuously been taking photos for publications and websites, this was my first opportunity to do so with Johnny Depp on Friday, October 21st during the Austin Film Festival.
I had been looking forward to viewing 'The Rum Diary' in theaters at the end of the month, but it was a grand experience to be able to view it at the historic Paramount Theater with Johnny Depp in attendance.
I do not plan to write spoilers here about 'The Rum Diary,' based on the novel by Hunter S. Thompson, but suffice to say, it has comedy thrown in the dramatic adventure of journalist Paul Kemp (Depp). Filmed in San Juan (and limited scenes in Vega Baja) Puerto Rico, the cinematography is beyond beautiful. The Q&A with the star and the director, Bruce Robinson, was quite entertaining to say the least.
It was a treat to see 'Edward Scissorhands' on the big screen after many years of the original release (1990). The theater was full of many, many young fans (15-25 year olds) who were wanting to see the star of the film. One young UT student that sat next to me stated he had only seen the film on video and had only seen Depp's work on screen in theaters through the Pirates of the Carribean series of films.
