Looks like it's finally happening according to Variety on 12/2/8

"Depp will star in March as gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson in "The Rum Diary," an adaptation of the Thompson book that Infinitum Nihil is producing with GK Films, with King's company financing the picture. Bruce Robinson is directing his script. It's Depp's second turn in a Thompson tale; he starred in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."

I've got some wonderful scenes of Hunter trying to get that movie made.

Bruce Robinson? Wow. He wrote and directed the oddly Withnahl & I, a good film that I encourage all to see.

Anyone got updated info on this film? I hate to think that it's permanently stalled. I just watched a 20 min doc by Bruce Campbell detailing his (and his producer's) eighteen year effort to get funding for The Man With The Screaming Brain, so I have a slightly better understanding of how these non-Tom-Cruise movies sometimes have to struggle to get made.
