I will never forget Johnny Depp retelling a conversation (I think it was in Rolling Stone) between he and Bill Murray about what it was like to play Hunter Thompson. They both exchanged accounts of how, even months and years later, they would have little moments where some dormant shred of Thompson’s psyche would wriggle inside them. “It’s just Hunter,” Murray said. (I paraphrase)
Based on this glimpse of Rango (and I realize that Depp is probably not producing this, ILM’s “fledgling” animated feature, but you never know!) it certainly appears that a big chunk of Johnny’s psyche is still in the desert with Hunter:
