The overhyped trial that tore Hollywood stars apart is being filmed, just three months after the verdict. It is already filming in the United States, and we know the cast.


It was one of the most publicized events of last spring: ex-spouses Johnny Depp and Amber Heard tore themselves apart during a sordid trial that lasted six weeks.

It only took three months for this case to turn into a feature film.

According to the American media

Variety

, the film entitled

Hot Take: The Depp / Heard Trial

(which can be translated as “Comments hot: the Depp / Heard trial”) is already filming.

Megan Davis, found in

American Horror Story

(2011) and

(2005), will be Amber Heard.

Mark Hapka seen in

Days of Our Lives

(2009) will play Johnny Depp.

As for the secondary characters, Melissa Marty will play the lawyer of the actor of

Pirates of the Caribbean

;

and Amber Heard's attorney will be played by Mary Carrig.

A film quickly done, well done?

Hot Take

will be released in the United States on September 30, and will be streamed for free on the American streaming platform Tubi.

The film is directed by Sara Lohman (

Secrets in the Woods

, 2020) and written by Guy Nicolucci, a former screenwriter for the satirical show

The Daily Show

(1996).

The production of this film was accelerated "in order to give a timely take on a story that has caught on with the times, painting a unique picture of what millions of people have seen unfold in the big titles over the summer,” said Tubi content director Adam Lewinson in the columns of the Deadline site.

A lawsuit still ongoing

In early July, the trial between the 59-year-old actor and the 36-year-old actress opened the summer saga that

Madame Figaro

devoted to scandalous divorces.

The lawsuit was initiated by the American actor who accused his wife of defamation for an article written in the

Washington Post

in 2018, in which she explained that she had been the victim of "domestic violence".

After many twists and turns, the verdict rendered on June 1 sentenced Amber Heard to pay fifteen million dollars in damages to Johnny Depp.

The latter, also found guilty, had to pay two million dollars.

Amber Heard, “devastated”, decided to appeal, after which Johnny Depp quickly engaged and made the same move.
