Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s infamous defamation trial has been turned into a movie- and the trailer is wild.
At one point, it felt like everyone in the world was watching the six-week long trial, and now, Hollywood has turned it into a feature-length film- so we can go through the whole thing again.
Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial is a Tubi original movie, and the official synopsis says it is “based on the controversial defamation trial that shook the world.”
Starring Mark Hapka as Johnny Depp, Megan Davis as Amber Heard, Melissa Marty as Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez and Mary Carrig as Heard’s lawyer Elaine Bredehoft, an official trailer for the film has also been released.
You can watch below:
The teaser includes some of the biggest moments from the Virginia courtroom as well as some dramatised scenes of the pair in their moments alone.
However, people online had mixed feelings about the new movie and took to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person wrote: “They seriously made a movie out of this?”
Another said: “Say what you want be he nailed Depp’s voice.”
A third commented: “Okay, but for real. The actor playing Johnny just killed it, and it’s not even out yet. He acts, sounds, and looks just like him.”
While a fourth simply wrote: “Too early for that.”
Depp, of course, won his trial against ex-wife Heard after the jury found what she wrote in her op-ed piece for The Washington Post was defamatory.
The actor was awarded $15 million in damages, and Heard was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages asshe did not prove all elements of defamation.
When the verdict was read out, Heard was in the courtroom in person but Depp was reportedly watching from UK after flying out to perform onstage with Jeff Beck in Sheffield and London.
Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial is set to premiere Friday 30th September on Tubi.
