Johnny Depp will kick off the new Film Independent at LACMA Film Series on Oct. 13 with the premiere of “The Rum Diary,” starring the Oscar-nominated actor. Film Independent, the nonprofit arts organization that produces the Spirit Awards and the Los Angeles Film Festival, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art made the announcement Tuesday.

The series replaces LACMA’s longstanding weekend film series, whose curators included the late Ron Haver and more recently, Ian Birnie. Film Independent at LACMA is curated by film critic Elvis Mitchell in collaboration with LACMA film coordinator Bernardo Rondeau and Film Independent’s programming team.

The series’ weekly schedule officially begins Oct. 27, but there will be four earlier events, starting with the world premiere of Bruce Robinson’s “The Rum Diary.” In addition to Depp, the film stars Amber Heard and Aaron Eckhart, all of whom will be in attendance.

I was going to update today not thinking anything of it until I saw it was the 4th of September. The date rang a bell and turns out, it’s Meet Eckhart’s third birthday! The site has been online for three years now and I can’t believe it’s gone so fast! It seemed like yesterday I was putting the site together and now it’s grown into something else.

I want to thank all the visitors who check out the site to support Aaron’s career. All of you are really awesome for taking the time to take a look around and see how fantastic Aaron is as an actor and the work that goes into the site (Note: check out the month of March – insanity!).

I would like to thank Aaron because without him, the site wouldn’t exist. An extraordinary actor and wonderful guy, it doesn’t get better than that!

It’s such a pleasure to be working on the site and I hope it continues for a long time. Thanks guys!

I’ve added photos of Aaron leaving Bristol Farms in Los Angeles from the 10th of August. Check it out in the gallery.

Aaron has been in the Dominican Republic lately working with an organisation called AmeriCares. They’re a non-profit disaster relief and humanitarian aid organisation that provides immediate response for emergency medical needs and supports long-term humanitarian assistance programs worldwide.

If you would like to donate to AmeriCares, head to their website.

I’ve added photos Aaron with AmeriCares team, the last two being at the Dominican Republic visiting the health care facilities.

Have I got something fantastic for you guys today… Aaron’s yearbook photos from 1984 at the American Community School (now known as ACS International Schools) in England. He was 16-years-old when these photos were taken.

So check them out in the gallery and also see what nickname he had

Huge thanks to Mark for letting me share the photos.
