I've just heard that Hunter S Thompson is currently in the process of writing the screenplay for 'The Curse of Lono', which is to be filmed on location in Hawaii later this year. 'The Curse of Lono' is Hunter's long-out-of-print book describing a 'Fear & Loathing' type adventure which occurred while covering the Honolulu marathon. The book itself is illustrated with a great many Tiki drawings by Ralph Steadman, and the gist of the story is that Hunter believes by the end of the book that he is indeed the Tiki God, Lono. Obviously we'll have to wait and see how much Tiki gets into the movie, but if the book is anything to go by, Tiki should feature strongly! Trader Woody |
