Hot Take trailer for Tubi Original makes Depp and Heard trial a spectacle… again

Last Updated on September 30, 2022

Just when you thought you were out of the woods with the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard fiasco, we get the official trailer for the upcoming Tubings Original, Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial–and it’s a doozy!

The trailer for Hot Take shows various notable moments from the trial. Early on we see Johnny Depp saluting his devoted fans outside of the courtroom and Amber Heard on the witness stand recalling Depp’s drug abuse (accompanied by the actor passed out in a bathtub). Following that, the trailer displays Heard’s alleged “borderline personality disorder” and Depp getting jealous over Heard’s supposed lovers. At the end, a cigarette-sucking Depp says, “Can’t wait to see what’s next.” Us, either, fake Johnny Depp, us, either. 

Hot Take looks to be exactly what fans would want in such a movie: corny recreations of the trial’s greatest hits, complete with what we can assume with be deliciously over-the-top performances.

Hot Take can’t come soon enough–and Tubi apparently thought so, too. The movie was seriously fast-tracked, as the trial only ended less than four months ago. Depp ultimately came out on top, with the jury deciding Amber Heard had defamed the actor through unproven accusations of abuse. Heard was also awarded due to Depp’s former lawyer making his own accusations against the actress.

Johnny Depp is played by Mark Hapka (who had a run on soap opera Days of Our Lives), who pretty much nails Depp’s vernacular and mannerisms. Amber Heard is played by Megan Davis (last year’s Famous), who has the difficult task of putting on a crying emoji face for the duration.

The trailer is just over one minute long so certainly leaves much to the imagination. But if the real-life ordeal was that crazy, we can’t wait to see what the movie shows. Which moments are you hoping to see? You know, other than Amber Heard pooping on Johnny Depp’s bed.

Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial comes to Tubi this Friday, September 30.
