Broadcast online, the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard was followed by millions of people around the world. For six weeks, this legal battle fed the pages of the tabloid press and American television news.
Today, it becomes a film: Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial. The trailer shows Mark Hapka as the actor – the resemblance is uncanny – and Megan Davis as his ex-girlfriend.
The images speak for themselves: this feature film looks more like a TV movie straight out of the American channel Lifetime rather than a real film adaptation.

At the end of the trial, the jury awarded the Pirates of the Caribbean star $15 million in damages. The actress, for her part, should receive 2 million dollars in compensatory damages. She was ordered to pay Johnny Depp $10 million for defamation.
Soon, the actor will star in Maïwenn’s new film, Jeanne du Barry. He embodies King Louis XV. As for Amber Heard, she will be back in the Aquaman sequel, which is already scheduled for release on December 20, 2023.
