Narrated by Johnny Depp, Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, is out on DVD 13th April 2009.
Directed by Alex Gibney, the director of the Academy Award winning documentary, Taxi to the Dark Side and Academy Award nominated Enron: the Smartest Guys in the Room, Gonzo follows the life and work of Hunter S. Thompson, who spent a lifetime channelling his energy into such landmark works as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - and whose provocative style revolutionised writing.
As well as Depp’s narration, the film features hilarious, illuminating, and poignant contributions from both those that loved Hunter and those that sparred with him, including the legendary Ralph Steadman, Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner, Hell’s Angel Sonny Barger, George McGovern, Pat Buchanan, Jimmy Buffet and Jimmy Carter. Gonzo is the definitive film biography of a mythic American figure.
Sphere published Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S. Thompson, edited by Jann Wenner and Corey Seymour with an introduction by Johnny Depp, in paperback in November 2008. The editors, who knew Hunter S. Thompson personally, interviewed his friends, family and colleagues, weaving their memories into this brilliant oral biography.
Optimum Releasing have provided 5 copies of Gonzo: The Life and Work of DR. Hunter S. Thompson on DVD for us to give away, along with a copy of Gonzo: The Life of Hunter S. Thompson.
