Depp Ready to Shoot Thompson's Ashes Out of a Cannon
Posted on July 14, 2005
The date is set and Johnny Depp is ready to go. On August 20, 2005, gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson's last wishes will be honored. His ashes will be blasted out of a cannon at the private burial ceremony at his Colorado home.
The cremated remains of the eccentric Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas writer, who was a huge fan of explosives, will be shot into the air over his Woody Creek home.All we can say is thank goodness that Johnny Depp had the wisdom to hire a professional F/X team to perform the cannon blast event. You know how those sorts of things can go terribly wrong when amateurs try their hand at them.Johnny Depp, who played the author in the movie adaptation of the drugged up novel, has paid for a memorial platform which will house the cannon, and has hired a Hollywood events planner to oversee the event, which will be closed to the public.
