Discovery+ is to tell the story of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s relationship breakdown from each of their viewpoints in a two-part documentary from All3Media indie Optomen entitledJohnny vs. Amber.
The celebrity court case of the decade will first introduce Depp’s side, how he felt he was married to a Machiavellian liar who would stop at nothing to protect her image, before Heard’s episode explains how the actress married the man of her dreams only to see him turn into a violent drug-fuelled monster.
Interviews with lawyers on both sides, people close to the couple, and extensive audio and archive footage will all be part of the doc.
UK executives producing are Frank Baker, Nick Hornby, and Frank BakerCrazy DeliciousOptomen producer, with Matt Reid serving as executive for Discovery.
Hornby stated that: “Through the tapes, home videos and text messages shown in court, these films give viewers a rare and important insight into a marriage that went tragically wrong, and to better understand the hugely important issue of domestic violence.”
