Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in a new film about the former couple’s recent defamation trial have responded to a backlash from domestic abuse survivors.Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial, which stars Mark Hapka and Megan Davis, premiered on Tubi last week, and recreates the headline-making trial over the summer that saw Depp sue Heard for defamation regarding a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post.In it, Heard wrote about being a survivor of domestic violence, and while the piece did not explicitly name Depp by name, his lawyers argued that it falsely implied that she was sexually and physically abused by him during their marriage.The outcome saw Depp awarded $10million (£8million) in compensatory damages and $5million in punitive damages, while Heard was awarded $2million (£1.5million) following the jury finding that Depp had defamed her through his attorney.Alongside courtroom scenes, the new Hot Take film includes imagined scenes of what may have happened behind closed doors during the couple’s relationship, including scenes of domestic violence.Responding to objections from domestic abuse survivors, Davis – who plays Heard – told Entertainment Weekly: “I think those people are very nervous about this film and very nervous that anything would make light of something as serious as domestic violence.“I think those people have been very vocally upset on social media because their experience is something that deserves to be respected.“To those people, what I’d want them to know is, I believe, based on all of my conversations with producers and directors and the studios involved in this project, that no one would come into this wanting anything other than to try and portray the truth as best as possible from two sides where we

Megan Davis is speaking out about her role as Amber Heard in Tubi’s movie, Hot Take, about the trial between Amber and her ex-husband, Johnny Depp.

Amber Heard hasn’t been seen for a while since the conclusion of the highly publicized defamation trial against ex Johnny Depp, but she’s just resurfaced.

Megan Davis “had not watched” any of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's defamation trial before she was cast to play the actress in a new movie. The 33-year-old actress admitted she had very little to base her portrayal of the 'Aquaman' star on when it came to filming 'Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial' - which is based on their ongoing controversial legal battle - because she hadn't seen any of Amber's movies, or even followed the case closely. Speaking on PEOPLE magazine’s ‘Every Day’ podcast, Megan said: "I had not seen anything she had done.

Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard -- the defamation trial that gripped the country, is coming to our screens in the form of a new Tubi original movie. ET's Denny Directo spoke to the stars of, Megan Davis and Mark Hapka, about portraying one of the most talked about trials on-screen.The actors admittedly had their reservations before signing on to the project, with Hapka sharing that it wasn't a «yes» right away.«It wasn’t right away a 'hell yes,' because we got questions, you know?» Hapka said.

Camille Vasquez made an impression throughout the Johnny Depp v Amber Heard trial. She proved that with hard work and commitment we’re all able to achieve our professional goals, something that Melissa Marty, who portrays her in the film “Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial,” identifies with.

James Franco catches heat in the upcoming Johnny Depp-Amber Heard biopic, “Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial.”The 43-year-old “Pineapple Express” frontman is the superstar object of ire between 2022’s most infamous exes in the forthcoming film, premiering Friday on streaming service Tubi. “Another one with James Franco?” asks an annoyed Depp, portrayed by “Days of Our Lives” actor Mark Hapka, reading a script over Heard’s shoulder in a trailer for the flick. Heard, played by actress Megan Davis, 33, responds, “Are you jealous of him, too?”The production comes just four months after the formerly wed couple’s highly-publicized $50 million defamation suit. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star accused Heard — whom he met on the set of “The Rum Diary” in 2011, married in February 2015 and divorced in 2017 — of defaming him as an abuser in a 2018 op-ed for the Washington Post. Heard countersued Depp for $100 million for defamation, citing comments his lawyers made about her domestic violence allegations. During a staggering six weeks of testimony, Heard alleged that Depp kicked her in the back during a May 2014 flight from Boston to Los Angeles, owing to his suspicions that she was “secretly having a thing” with Franco. “He hated James Franco,” she explained while on the stand.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic In “The Munsters,” the director Rob Zombie makes a game attempt to pass off his amateurishness as attitude. It’s like watching a Tim Burton film with the cheekiness turned up to 11 and the film technique dialed down to 2. Yet “The Munsters,” the family-of-ghouls ’60s sitcom that Zombie is adapting, was such a ticky-tacky piece of gothic bat-house surrealism that the movie, broad and slovenly as it is, works more than it doesn’t. The film is a lot like its hero, Herman Munster: benignly dim-witted, Day-Glo in color, top-heavy with tomfoolery, lumbering in one direction and then the next, always cracking itself up in an innocently aggressive monster-mash way. “The Munsters” debuted in 1964, in the middle of the age of theater-of-the-absurd American sitcoms, yet the show, if anything, was less corny, less obvious, and lighter on its feet than this overstuffed update/reboot, with its Famous Monsters of Filmland cameos and contempo catch phrases. Instead of taking all his cues from the show, Zombie, who wrote the script (you can feel his joy in giving Herman the groan-worthy vaudeville one-liners he delivers as if they were gems), has dreamed up the Munsters’ origin story. (As if anyone was asking for that.) It’s all about how Lily (Sheri Moon Zombie), a maiden vampire with two-tone hair and an undead glow, living with her vampire dad The Count (Daniel Roebuck) in a Transylvania castle of psychedelic chintz, recovers from her life of bad dates with bad monsters — we see one with Orlock, the rat-man bloodsucker of “Nosferatu,” played by Richard Brake as the cuddliest of creeps.

including model Kate Moss, testified during the trial. While Moss disputed any claims that Depp was abusive with her, another former girlfriend, Ellen Barkin, told a different story.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic “Smile” is a horror film that sets up nearly everything — its highly effective creep factor, its well-executed if familiar shock tactics, its interlaced theme of trauma and suicide — before the opening credits. In an emergency psych ward, Dr. Rose Cotter (Sosie Bacon), a diligent and devoted therapist, is speaking to a woman who sounds like her soul went to hell and never made it back. Her name is Laura (Caitlin Stasey), and she describes, in tones that remain rational despite her tremulous panic, the visions she’s been seeing that no one else can. She sees faces — or, rather, a spirit, a something, that reveals itself in people’s faces. She can feel it lurking; the spirit’s signature is a face that will stare back at her with an evil smile, a scary grin of the damned. Describing all this, Laura becomes so distraught that she starts to convulse. Then the doctor turns around, seeing a smashed flowerpot on the floor, and Laura has disappeared. But no! She’s there, with a pottery shard in hand. And now she’s the one smiling, as she digs the shard into her neck and scrapes it along, slitting her throat in blood-gushing slow motion. Put on a happy face!

Johnny Depp seems to be getting back to a normal life.

incorrectly focused on Depp’s attorney, Camille Vasquez, but more recently, the whispers have shifted to another one of Depp’s lawyers Joelle Rich. Alleged details about their time together have emerged over the past few days, but in classic Johnny Depp fashion, there are now additional rumors about him more recently moving on with someone else. There’s a lot here so let’s start with Joelle Rich.

Some interesting new details about Johnny Depp‘s relationship with new girlfriend Joelle Rich have been revealed.

Depp is currently dating his lawyer. However, this new lady isn’t Camille Vasquez – who was at one point rumored to be dating to the star – but his lawyer from his 2020 libel case, Joelle Rich. Amid this reported relationship, one can’t help but think about how Heard is feeling, and a new report has provided alleged details on that front.

Johnny Depp is dating Joelle Rich, the married lawyer who represented him in his U.K. defamation trial against a British tabloid, Fox News Digital confirmed.  Although she was not part of the legal team that represented Depp in his Virginia defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, she attended part of the six-week trial, which finished in June.  The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor was spotted with Rich while taking smoke breaks outside the Fairfax County Circuit Courthouse.

Amber Heard "doesn't care" who Johnny Depp dates. The 36-year-old actress was married to 'Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny, 59, from 2015 until 2016 before the couple became embroiled in a $100 million defamation lawsuit- which Johnny won - and is reportedly indifferent to who he chooses to see now, amid reports that he is now dating a lawyer named Joelle Rich. A source told 'Entertainment Tonight': "Amber isn't paying attention to Johnny or his personal life.

JOHNNY Depp is dating the lawyer who represented him when he lost a libel trial against The Sun in 2020.  The 59-year-old actor is reportedly smitten with mum-of-two Joelle Rich, 37, who is a partner at international law firm Schillings and in the middle of a divorce.  Although she represented Depp in his failed trial against The Sun, she was not part of the legal team in his recent defamation case with ex-wife Amber Heard.  Joelle was in the courtroom to offer personal support but had “no professional obligation” in the proceedings, according to a US Weekly magazine source. The source said the couple are “seriously dating” and “their chemistry is off the charts”.
