However, after the news of the Tubi original movie surfaced online, fans didn't waste a minute sharing that "it has just been a hot minute since the trial." A fan wrote, "Knew they were gonna make a movie out of this it hasn’t even been a year since this happen lol." A fan shared, "I cant wait for the dramatic retelling of how her dog stepped on a bee." A fan said, "We just watched the real thing like 3 weeks ago." A fan questioned, "Lol um ok. Little early for a "remake" isn't it? Seeing as the original "movie" was only released like.... 3-4 months ago?" A fan tweeted, "I’d rather rewatch the 6 week trial instead of that crap movie." Another fan adds, "Is this a joke? We all literally just saw it play out in court live. Who would watch this?"

According to People, Reps for Heard and Depp did not immediately respond to the outlet's requests for comment about the film. However, 'Hot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial' will release on September 30, 2022, on Tubi.
