'London Fields': Amber Heard sued for refusing to go n-de in the film
The film, based on the novel of the same name by Martin Amis, continues to sink into legal battles.
Amber Heard, who will soon be seen as Aquaman's love interest Mera in Justice League, has been sued for $10 million for refusing to go n-de in London Fields, an adaptation of Martin's novel of the same name. To my. As the Telegraph reports, the actress has been accused of conspiring with director Mathew Cullen to remove the sex scenes from the final cut and, according to the producers, breaching her contractual obligations.
The interpreter gets into the skin of Nicola Six, a 'femme fatale' with divinatory powers worried about a premonition that ends with her murder. Nicola begins to relate to three men, very different from each other, knowing that one of them will be the author of her death. The lawsuit against Amber Heard points to her stress in complying with the project's script and also puts on the table her alleged conspiracy with Cullen "to make unauthorized changes" in the final version. "Heard understood the nature of the role...and the tone of the script, which was lewd, provocative and contained nudity."
This is the latest controversy to splash the tape, which was originally going to be shown during the Toronto Film Festival last year. Jim Sturgess, Billy Bob Thornton, Johnny Depp and Cara Delevingne also appeared in it but the director and some of the actors objected to the producers and their decision to do a much more avant-garde cut. Cullen has been so upset with the result that he has also sued producers Chris Hanley and Jordan Gertner for fraud for "secretly preparing their own version of the film" with images evocative of the 9/11 jumpers," among other changes. Shortly after, they fought back and sued him for breach of contract and for going over the $8 million budget by $4.5 million.
To further complicate the situation, the script was written by Roberta Hanley, Hanley's wife. The question we must ask ourselves is: Will London Fields ever be released? Which of its two versions? Meanwhile, you can see the 'teaser' of The Justice League, with a premiere scheduled for November 2017.
