Amber Heard is back. At the Taormina Film Fest in Sicily she is presenting her new film “In the Fire”.
For the first time since her lost case against ex-husband Johnny Depp (60): Amber Heard (37) presents a new film. According to “Deadline” “In the Fire” celebrates its premiere at the Taormina Film Fest. The festival will take place in Sicily from June 23rd to July 1st, 2023. Amber Heard is expected as a guest.
‘In the Fire’ is what Amber Heard’s new film is about
“In the Fire” is set in 1899. Amber Heard plays an American psychiatrist who is called to a farm in Colombia. There she is supposed to treat a boy. He is accused of being possessed by the devil and of being responsible for all the negative happenings in the village. The doctor clashes with a priest and a battle ensues between science and religion.
A regular theatrical release of the American-Italian co-production is not yet known. It is also still unclear whether “In the Fire” will come to Germany.
Start of a comeback?
According to Deadline, Amber Heard’s new film marks the start of a comeback. She wants to focus on her acting career again after the trial. Hollywood recently turned its back on Heard. According to the Daily Mail she is said to have bought a house near Madrid. She wants to live there permanently with daughter Oonagh Paige (2).
The next premiere of a film by Amber Heard is scheduled for the end of this year. The blockbuster sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom launches in December. It is not yet known whether Heard will promote the film. In the process, she claimed that her role had been massively cut.
Johnny Depp’s new film is also screened at the Taormina Film Fest
In the spring of 2022, the court battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard began. The actor had accused his former partner of defamation and was right. In December, the two agreed on a comparison. Heard paid Depp $1 million.
Johnny Depp also recently presented his first film since the trial. “Jeanne Du Barry” opened the Cannes Film Festival in May. The French historical film celebrates its Italian premiere at the Taormina Film Fest of all places. Whether Johnny Depp will be there is not yet known.
