There’s a Show Based on the Life of Hunter S. Thompson in the Works

Hunter S. Thompson’s life and work was fueled by drugs and chaos. Soon, that insanity will be making its way to your television screen, as Davey Holmes, the executive producer of Shameless and Get Shorty, among other things, is taking a crack at developing a TV show based on the life of HST. The show, which will be called Fear and Loathing, is a project for MGM Television and will be developed with the help of writer Bob Nelson, who snagged an Oscar nomination for Nebraska. Whether it tackles his gonzo journalism escapades or just his everyday day life, it’s sure to be entertaining. We’ll keep you posted as more details come out.
