Amber Heard shines at film premiere amidst legal drama with Johnny Depp.
Amber Heard attended the Taormina Film Festival in Italy to promote her new film, In the Fire, and required extra security due to online threats she has received since her defamation trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp. She carefully selected her interviews, answering questions for Variety by email and taking none about Depp. The film's producer had to persuade Italian police to provide extra security amid concerns of demonstrations by Depp supporters. Despite the controversy, the reception toward Heard was positive, and her co-stars praised her performance.
