The film was presented on the digital platform on September 30th. The one-minute trailer, hosted by Tubi on YouTube, features reenacted scenes from the courtroom as well as dramatized versions of private moments between the couple, according to CTV News.
Mark Hapka plays ex-Captain Jack Sparrow and Megan Davis plays Amber Heard, like the character from Aquaman. Lawyers are also represented.
The reviews did not praise this film, calling it a “dramatized school project”.
Although Johnny Depp legally won the trial, many people have accused his fans before and during the trial of making misogynistic comments about their dealings with Amber Heard before and during the trial, particularly on social media. The film would not clearly address this controversy, according to critics.
At the end of this trial, actress Amber Heard was fined $10.35 million for damaging Johnny Depp’s reputation.
