Johnny Depp, Amber Heard trial being adapted into film; fans say: ‘Absolutely…’

Hot Take: The Depp/Heard, a movie about the current defamation case, is being hurriedly released on the streaming service Tubi, according to a recent report. This comes days after the trailer for the upcoming documentary of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial, Johnny vs Amber: The US Trial, was released. Johnny sued his ex-wife for defamation in the June trial over an op-ed she published in The Washington Post in 2018.

Amber had mentioned that she had experienced domestic abuse in her essay. Despite the fact that Johnny was not specifically mentioned in the piece, his attorneys said that it implied he was abusive toward her while they were dating, something he fiercely denies. According to a recent source, the upcoming movie Hot Take: The Case Against Depp/Heard, will star Mark Hapka as Johnny Depp and Megan Davis as Amber Heard, and is directed by Sara Lohman.

Variety reports that Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial would dramatise the events surrounding the defamation case between Johnny and Amber that took place earlier this year and lasted for more than six weeks in a US court. According to the source, the movie will focus on the former couple’s “tumultuous relationship.” The chief content officer of Tubi, Adam Lewinson, was quoted in the Variety article as saying that the movie is expected to “capture a timely take on a story that became part of the cultural zeitgeist, painting a unique picture of what millions watched play out in the headlines over the summer” despite the fact that not much else about the movie has been made public.

When it was announced that Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial will be released soon, many people responded on social media, with some voicing their disgust. Even a petition to prohibit the movie’s release was created by a fan. “Sign this Petition to ask @Tubi to withdraw this film,” read the message. Amber’s suffering is over. It takes one minute to conceal your signature. I do not want to see Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial on Tubi or anywhere else, another person tweeted.

Hot Take: Fox Corporation-owned streaming service Tubi will premiere The Depp/Heard Trial on September 30. In the regions where it is available, including the US, Australia, and New Zealand, the movie will purportedly be shown for free.

After dating for over three years, Johnny and Amber got married in 2015 in their Los Angeles home. Amber divorced Johnny in May 2016 and obtained a temporary restraining order against him. She said that during their relationship, Johnny had physically abused her, most frequently when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Executive producer says Maggie Smith will be honoured in Downton Abbey 3.

Throughout her career, Maggie Smith played a variety of memorable roles in films. She was part of Murder by Death, Sister Act and Hook.
Late star Maggie Smith will be honoured with a special tribute in the third Downton Abbey movie. As per Variety, executive producer Gareth Neame confirmed that the third film will include a tribute to both the character and Maggie Smith herself. Maggie died at the age of 89 on September 27.

“The loss of the Dowager, it now feels far more significant that you see actors playing characters mourning the family matriarch. But I also see actors mourning the matriarch of the show, and it feels more genuine and more meaningful.”

Throughout her career, Maggie played a variety of memorable roles in films. She was part of the ensemble cast in Murder by Death (1976), starred as the strict yet humorous Mother Superior in Sister Act (1992), and appeared in Hook (1991) alongside Robin Williams as Granny Wendy.

Later in her career, she played a cantankerous retiree in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011), delighting audiences with her wit and charm. Her television work was also impressive.

In addition to her Emmy-winning role in Downton Abbey, Maggie starred in My House in Umbria, which also earned her an Emmy Award. She was nominated for other television roles, including as Mrs Venable in Suddenly Last Summer and as Betsey Trotwood in the BBC miniseries David Copperfield, where she worked alongside a young Daniel Radcliffe before he was cast as Harry Potter.

Maggie’s personal life was marked by her long-lasting marriage to playwright Beverley Cross, whom she married in 1975 and stayed with until his death in 1998. Before that, she was married to actor Robert Stephens, with whom she had two sons, both of whom followed in her footsteps and became actors themselves.

Chris Larkin and Toby Stephens have enjoyed successful careers in film and television, carrying on their mother’s legacy in the acting world.
