Description:
Amber Heard is the latest to face court action over London Fields, a film based on Martin Amis‘ celebrated novel, once set to make a splash at the Toronto International Film Festival only to be stuck in legal purgatory without a distributor. On Monday, the film’s producers sued Heard, who stars in the picture as a promiscuous psychic about to be murdered.More than a year ago, the debut of London Fields at Toronto prompted controversy with much of the movie’s talent refusing to show up in support. Mathew Cullen, the film’s director, sued Christopher Hanley’s Nicola Six Limited for fraud, claiming producers hijacked the final cut of the movie. Hanley struck back with counterclaims accusing Cullen of failing to deliver the film on budget and on time. Adding to the intrigue were news report how London Fields might have been a factor in Heard’s divorce from Johnny Depp, who has a small role in the movie.
Now, Heard is facing claims of breaching contract and committing tortious interference. The complaint also briefly nods to the film’s supposed role in the Heard-Depp divorce.
