Amber Heard Interview:
Talks THE STEPFATHER,
ZOMBIELAND, and
THE RUM DIARY
Description:
Next question for you, of course I have to ask you about "The Rum Diary".
Amber: Yes.
How much fun did you have making that thing and what can people expect in it?
Amber: It was an amazing experience. I'm a huge fan of Hunter S. Thompson and I met with Johnny Depp about it and he was instrumental in casting me as Chenault, who plays Johnny's character's love interest. So I was playing his love interest along with Aaron Eckhart and there are a slew of other brilliant filmmakers and actors in this movie and involved in this movie. It's directed and written by Bruce Robinson and like I said before it's a Hunter S. Thompson story and I am just honoured to be working on something he was involved in in any way.
Was that a project that you fought for or was it a project that came to you?
Amber: I fought really hard for that role. It was a long process-a grueling one. I wrote letters to the people involved. I committed myself to being this character and ultimately I had the opportunity to work on it, so I'm extremely happy for my hard work. It paid off.
