'Rum Diary' Clips Released: Johnny Depp Sees A Very Long Tongue, Drives Fast

Thanks to Johnny Depp's savvy house-searching, we're about to enter the peculiar, inebriated mind of the late Hunter S. Thompson once again.

"The Rum Diary" was Thompson's first attempt at the novel, fictionalizing his time in Puerto Rico as a cub reporter in 1958. Here he plays Paul Kemp, who is supposed to represent two dueling sides of Thompson's personality. Bruce Robinson wrote the script making alterations wherever he and Depp saw fit.

The film co-stars Amber Heard as the forbidden love interest who married to a wealthy man (Aaron Eckhart) and Richard Jenkins as a newspaper editor.

Take a look at two newly released -- and very not-sober -- clips below.

The greatest cinema circus freak show was Fear and Loathing. Bar none. This one will be a welcome addition, I'm sure.

Let the obvious analogies to and bad jokes regarding Cap'n Jack Sparrow begin!

The funny thing is, has anybody actually read the book? There are no drugs (mostly just...rum) and there's no forbidden love interest married to a wealthy man.

I'm still definitely catching this one. But still.

This movie looks like the type of trip only Johnny can send you on and the type I love to take. Must see.
