Amber Laura Heard

(born April 22, 1986) is an American actress and model.

Born and raised in Texas, Heard made her film debut in a minor supporting role in the sports drama Friday Night Lights (2004)

Followed by a series of other small roles in television and film. Her first leading role was in the horror film All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006)

but it was not released in the United States until 2013 due to distribution problems.

Her second major role came in the short-running The CW television series Hidden Palms (2007).

Heard's breakthrough came in 2008 with roles in the action film Never Back Down and in the stoner comedy Pineapple Express, which were both box office successes.

The same year, she received the Breakthrough Award at Young Hollywood Awards. Heard continued her career with roles in films such as The Informers (2008), The Stepfather (2009), Zombieland (2009), and The Joneses (2009).

In 2011, she played the female lead opposite Nicolas Cage in Drive Angry, and opposite Johnny Depp in The Rum Diary; neither were critically nor commercially successful.

After several unsuccessful films, Heard appeared in the box office successes 3 Days to Kill (2014), Magic Mike XXL (2015) and The Danish Girl (2015).

She also starred in the indie film The Adderall Diaries (2015), the television musical drama One More Time (2015), and the Martin Amis adaptation London Fields (2018).

The latter was due to be released in 2015, but became the subject of a series of lawsuit between its director, Heard, and the film's production company over disagreements in its editing and other issues. The film was finally released in 2018, and was both a critical and commercial flop.

In 2017, Heard acted as part of an ensemble cast in the indie film I Do...Until I Don't (2017) and made an appearance as Mera in the superhero film Justice League (2017).

She reprised the latter role opposite Jason Momoa in Aquaman (2018), which became the most profitable DC Extended Universe film up to that point, and the fifth highest-grossing film of 2018.[4] The same year, Heard was also named a global spokesperson for the cosmetics giant L'Oréal Paris. In 2019, she appeared in supporting roles in the independent films Her Smell and Gully.
In addition to her acting career, Heard engages in activism for causes such as LGBTQ rights and domestic and sexual violence awareness.

She is an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) ambassador and has been named a Human Rights Champion for the Stand Up for Human Rights campaign by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. From 2015 to 2017, Heard was married to her The Rum Diary co-star Johnny Depp.

Their divorce drew significant media attention, as she alleged that he was physically and verbally abusive towards her throughout most of their relationship.

The Stand TV Series Starts Production: Amber Heard Reveals 'The End'

Hollywood has gone silly with adapting the works of Stephen King, and it's hard to remember the last time there's been a period when at least 2-3 of his works weren't in development.

On that note, yet another one is ready for filming as CBS All Access has kicked off the production on its adaptation of The Stand.

The news was delivered by one of the many stars involved in the series, Amber Heard, and she shared a specific script that should have some King fans excited.

Apparently, we should all get ready for "The End" because that's coming whether we like it or not.

It's not footage, but the mere sight of a script and the start of production should be enough to get folks excited. After all, this is the adaptation of one of Stephen King's most revered works, and it seems like CBS All Access is doing all it can to get it right.

So far they've got a stellar cast that includes Amber Heard, Alexander Skarsgard, James Marsden and others, so it's on the right track.

With that being said, the original 1994 miniseries has a solid amount of praise and acclaim on top of its solid cast. The new version of The Stand will have that to measure up to as it continues production on its new adaptation.

Will it be able to differentiate itself enough from the first go around, or will it prove to be too similar and audiences wonder why it was made?

We don't have a crystal ball, although it is worth noting the newest version of The Stand will bring something new to book lovers and miniseries fans alike. Stephen King is writing a new coda that will appear in the CBS All Access show, that will continue the story beyond that of the books. Without getting too deep into spoilers, the new bit of story will answer some questions from the story that were left unanswered in the past.

One other big thing CBS All Access' The Stand has going for it is that it has cast an actor from a family that has become synonymous with King adaptations, Alexander Skarsgard.

Skarsgard will be playing iconic character Randall Flagg, who has appeared in a number of King's novels throughout his career.

Alexander's brother Bill Skarsgard is known for playing Pennywise the clown in the successful new IT movies, and he starred in the first season of Hulu's Castle Rock.

Just wait, eventually the Skarsgards will play every Stephen King character together on Castle Rock.

The latest adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand is currently in production to air on CBS All Access. Stick with CinemaBlend for more details on its development, and for all the latest news of what's happening in the world of television and movies.
