Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard: Estrange Couple's Damaging Feud Repeating Again Through THIS
A new documentary will revisit Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's legal battle this year.
Discovery+ will present a two-part documentary, "Johnny vs. Amber," before 2021 ends, Discovery UK confirmed.
According to the streaming company's press release (via The Hollywood Reporter and Variety), the documentary will focus on how they became an A-list couple before going through a damaging divorce and, eventually, a legal battle.
"Johnny's film will portray that he found himself married to a Machiavellian liar who would stop at nothing to protect her image. While Amber's film explores how she married the man of her dreams only to see him turn into a violent drug-fueled monster," the statement continued, as quoted by New York Post.
The upcoming documentary, produced by Optomen, will also feature real-life lawyers and people who have been involved in the case. Footages and audio recordings that emerged throughout their libel case in the UK will also be included.

She also applauded Optomen's in-depth work to perfectly portray an "engrossing and horrifying" story.
