While Johnny Depp’s Comeback Movie Got a Standing Ovation, Amber Heard’s New Post Trial Movie Faces Rampant Review Bombing
Amber Heard and Johnny Depp are still the talks of the media even after the end of their famous defamation trial. The former couple fought legally for a long time, and their battle was all out in the media. In the end, the jury decided in favor of Depp, and according to a settlement Johnny Depp received a $1 million payout from Amber Heard.
Post the trial, Depp’s Hollywood career didn’t have a setback like his ex-wife’s. The 60-year-old actor returned to the industry after being in the spotlight due to his trial. He made a comeback to the world of movies with Jeanne Du Barry, playing the titular role. The Aquaman star is coming back to the screen with her new film In the Fire. However, her return is not so welcoming by the Edward Scissorhands star’s fans as the film struggles with its ratings.
Amber Heard’s post-trial film gets review bombed by Johnny Depp Fans
Amber Heard is prepared to make a return following the nasty defamation lawsuit she had with her ex-husband Johnny Depp. The Aquaman star is back in the spotlight with her new film In the Fire. She attended the premiere of her newest film on the blue carpet at the Taormina Film Festival. Co-star Luca Calvani and director Conor Allyn were also in attendance.
Depp made his comeback in the industry with Jeanne Du Barry, playing the titular role. The film aired at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and got a seven-minute standing ovation. However, Heard’s film is struggling to gain the necessary attention. The film’s reviews have come down to 3.2. There is speculation that many of these reviews are from the Pirates of the Caribbean star’s fans.
The announcement of the 37-year-old’s new film has upset many Depp fans, and they even blasted the actress through Twitter. Now with her new film set to release this year, it has received negative reviews heading in the direction of a review bomb from Depp’s fans. Despite being praised for her acting in In the Fire, Amber Heard’s coming post-trial is ruined by her ex-husband’s fans.
What is Amber Heard’s In the Fire about?
Post the defamation trial and the verdict coming out in favor of Pirates Of The Caribbean star, Amber Heard and her daughter Oonagh Paige moved to Spain. The actress was out of the spotlight until In the Fire.
The upcoming film is set in the 1890s. It is a horror thriller that centers on New York psychiatrist Grace Victoria Burnham played by the 37-year-old, who travels to a secluded plantation to treat a troubled autistic youngster.
In addition to doing her best to treat the kid’s illness, Victoria has to protect him from the locals and the village priest, who believe the boy is under the influence of a demonic entity.
