Amber Heard is poised for a triumphant return to Hollywood with her upcoming film “In the Fire.” This marks her comeback after her high-profile defamation case involving her former spouse, Johnny Depp. Conor Allyn directs a supernatural psychological thriller set in the 1890s.
In “In the Fire,” Heard assumes the role of Grace Burnham, a dedicated psychiatrist entrusted with caring for a troubled young boy with enigmatic abilities. Their journey unfolds on a remote Colombian plantation steeped in mystery and intrigue.
The recently released teaser trailer offers a glimpse into the central conflict of the narrative, which revolves around the tension between science and religion. BBurnham’s methods clash with the priest’s belief that the boy is possessed by evil, causing the village’s problems.
The trailer features a powerful moment where Burnham addresses the young boy, portrayed by the talented Lorenzo McGovern Zaini, conveying the weight of the situation. She tells him, “Those people are scared. And they need something to blame for that fear. And it’s you.”
It’s worth noting that Amber Heard also took on a producer role for “In the Fire” until March 2022. This project signifies her reentry into the entertainment industry after the defamation case, which concluded with Johnny Depp being awarded a substantial $15 million in damages.
