Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial, here is the sensationalist title of the movie inspired by the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, that occurred between April and June 2022. Planned for Tubi – a platform unknown in France – the Sara Lohman movie has no release date yet, but a trailer dropped. It shows a movie made with broke production and unknown actors (Mark Hapka as Johnny Depp and Megan Davis as Amber Heard), casted for their vague resemblance with the original stars.
Hot Take hopes to get success by covering the key moments of the trial that have been massively shared on social networks and promising the “truth” about the case. But in light of the first look and the speed at which the movie has been produced, it seems clear this is only a very basic “true crime” as those found on platforms.
