On July 4th, if you are in the movie theaters and you neglect to see the Hunter Thompson documentary, you are definitely BLOWING IT. The following trailer gives the impression that Gonzo: The Life and Times of Hunter S. Thompson is right on. The closest I’ve seen to a biopic on Gonzo is Where the Buffalo Roam, starring Bill Murray as Hunter. Nice performance, but I’m ready for the real McCoy. Anyone else?

From Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney and producer Graydon Carter comes a probing look into the uncanny life of national treasure and gonzo journalism inventor Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. A fast moving, wildly entertaining documentary with an iconic soundtrack, the film addresses the major touchstones in Thompson’s life—his intense and ill fated relationship with the Hell’s Angels, his near-successful bid for the office of sheriff in Aspen in 1970, the notorious story behind the landmark Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his deep involvement in Senator George McGovern’s 1972 presidential campaign, and much more. Narrated by Johnny Depp.

    But you already knew that. Perhaps you also knew that Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney recently put together a little documentary on the famed father of Gonzo Journalism.

    It goes without saying, then, that you would want to see a trailer of said documentary. Well, here you go!
