LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are slowly getting back to doing what they are best known for: acting after the bitter and controversial defamation trial. While all the furore over the trial has somewhat died down, the two continue to hog headlines for a number of reasons. The most recent being the fact that while Depp's recent movie, 'Jeanne du Barry', was critically acclaimed, Heard's latest, 'In the Fire', is getting review bombed by his fans.

Heard was seen attending the premiere of her movie at the Taormina Film Festival in Taormina, Italy, recently. She was accompanied by Conor Allyn, the director, and co-star, Luca Calvani, per the Animated Times.
