Amber Heard sued for $10m for 'refusing to do n@ked scenes in new film'
Amber Heard is facing an eye-watering lawsuit from the producers of London Fields.
According to court documents, the actress is being asked to cough up $10 million in damages for failing to fulfil her "acting services" as laid out in her original contract.
These include filming a n@ked scene as her character, "a promiscuous psychic about to be murdered," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Production company Nicole Six Limited even went so far as to claim the blonde conspired to make the film bomb at the box office by refusing to make public appearances to promote it.
Producers Christopher Hanely and Jordan Gertner insisted that Amber had worked in secret with director Matthew Cullen to rewrite the n@ked love scenes in a 24-page complaint handed to Los Angeles Superior Court.
It is thought Amber had initially been granted the right to approve scenes after they had been filmed, but had no rights to control what was filmed in the first place.
"Additionally, Heard participated in a concerted campaign of disinformation against Plaintiff and the picture, which has significantly damaged both," the documents argued.
Cullen claimed last year that the producing duo had hijacked his film and edited it beyond recognition.
He subsequently sued them for fraud and deceit, claiming he was never paid and demanding $1m in damages.
The film's first press screening was back in 2015 and it was subsequently pulled from the Toronto Film Festival amid the disputes.
The thriller is based on Martin Amis' 1989 novel and sees Amber's character grapple with a premonition of her impending death.
She finds herself in romantics trysts with three men and knows that one of them will murder her.
Billy Bob Thornton and Amber's ex-husband Johnny Depp both appear in the film.
