Science or religion? That is the question. Or perhaps a better question for a movie like In the Fire is, "Would this movie exist if Amber Heard didn't sign on?" The premise kept reminding me of Florence Pugh's Netflix film The Wonder — no, not Terrence Malick's To the Wonder with Ben Affleck. In her movie, Pugh plays a doctor traveling to a remote village to investigate a child with suspiciously special powers, and with In the Fire, Heard plays a similar role as a doctor who ventures into South America to see if a boy is, in fact, magically powered by the devil himself.

Amber Heard feels "honored" to be a part of the thriller film In the Fire, describing her character as "strong-willed" and "independent."

The upcoming DC sequel Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has faced controversy, with allegations of a "hostile" atmosphere on set, intoxicated behavior from Jason Momoa, and attempts to have Heard fired from the movie.

Aquaman star Amber Heard has been discussing her latest role outside the world of DC, that of doctor Grace Burnham in the upcoming thriller In the Fire. Speaking about the project prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike, Heard said she felt “honored” to be a part of the movie, and described her character as “strong-willed” and “independent.”

The 69th Taormina Film Festival in Sicily saw the world premiere Saturday of the paranormal psychological thriller “In the Fire,” which marks the return to the big screen of Amber Heard following two highly publicized trials involving her former husband Johnny Depp.

On the turquoise carpet, Heard greeted a crowd of fans — accompanied by paparazzi and tourists — who shouted words of encouragement at the “Aquaman” star.

The producers and festival organizers had worried about possible demonstrations by Depp supporters. Producer Pascal Borno told Variety he had to persuade the Italian police to provide extra security after receiving online threats. “They took it seriously and afterwards I promised them selfies with Amber,” he said.

Despite the initial trepidation, the atmosphere of the crowd was one of the usual celebrity-adjacent excitement. One family visiting from New York remarked to Variety that they thought Heard was “gutsy.”

“I was relieved to see how they shouted for her.
