Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial plot

Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial is set to tell a dramatised story of the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial that ended on 1 June 2022.  The trial saw Depp sue Heard for £50 million claiming that Heard impacted Depp’s work when she allegedly implied he abused her in a Wasington Post article in 2018.

She didn’t name him but Depp claimed the allegation stopped him getting acting jobs. It’s said the movie will follow the relationship of Depp and Heard in and out of court, and tell the story of the two-month defamation trial. The trial saw the jury side with Depp, awarding him £10 million in compensatory damages and £5m in punitive damages, though the latter was reduced.

Heard won one of her three counterclaims, with Depp found liable for a defamatory statement made about Heard in 2016.  News recently came out that Depp was dating Joelle Rich, the lawyer who represented him in his UK lawsuit against The Sun newspaper. Rich wasn’t one of the lawyers who represented him in the Heard trial and while she was in the courtroom, the Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial movie isn’t expected to cover this new relationship.

Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial cast

Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial movie will see Johnny Depp played by Mark Hapka from Days of Our Lives, while Amber Heard will be played by Megan Davis. 

Melissa Marty from Station 19 will play Johnny Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez and Mary Carrig will play Amber Heard’s lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft. The film has been written by Guy Nicolucci and it will be directed by Sara Lohman. It’s been produced by produced by Brittany Clemons, Angie Day, Marianne C.
