I got my copy of The Joneses yesterday and immediately made screencaps of Amber Heard’s role as Jenn Jones.

I was quite disappointed that Amber’s role was not as prominent in the movie as I assumed for it to be. Yes, she does appear in a handful of scenes but in the end, she doesn’t have very much to do, does she? It is a pity because Jenn is a really interesting character and I would have loved for the movie to explore her more – same goes for the character of Mick. I found the two ‘children’ to be the most intriguing characters in The Joneses. Regardless, Amber does a great job and looks incredibly gorgeous in the movie.

Unfortunately the UK R2 DVD includes no special features whatsoever. Can anyone within the US confirm whether or not the R1 DVD has special features that include Amber?

Please note that the screencaps feature a little bit of tasteful nudity so if you’re underage or offended by a pair of boobs, do not enter this album. Thanks.

John Carpenter is making a long-awaited return to the big screen with the world premiere of The Ward at the Toronto International Film Festival. The Ward is a thriller about a young woman, played by Amber Heard, in a 1960s mental institution who becomes terrorized by malevolent unseen forces. The movie is part of Toronto’s Midnight Madness sidebar. No word whether or not Amber will attend the premiere but I do think it is safe to say it is likely she will.

The Toronto International Film Festival is set to run from September 9 to 19.

The trailer for The River Why has made it’s premiere online finally. I was really eager to see Amber in this ‘de-glamorized’ role and she still looks absolutely gorgeous! I am really excited to see her on screen with Zach Gilford who I think is also very talented. Check it out for yourself below the page break. Thanks to Jessica for informing us that the trailer was available!

The River Why is an adaptation of the 1983 Sierra Club novel by David James Duncan. The coming-of-age tale centers on a young man named Gus Orviston (Zach Gilford) and his quest for an elusive rainbow trout, which is a metaphor for the man’s internal search for self-knowledge. Heard plays his love interest, a tomboy fly-fisher named Eddy.

Earlier yesterday, Amber Heard helped Yo Gabba Gabba! (children’s program) build a home for Habitat for Humanity on in Lynwood, California. Amber has been busy here lately and it’s wonderful seeing her be active in various organizations so much. Check out a handful of images in the gallery!

Nearly 2 billion people around the world live in slum housing and over 100 million are homeless. Habitat for Humanity is needed to help eliminate poverty by providing simple, decent shelter to those in need. Homeowners and volunteers build under trained supervision.

Drive Angry is the latest 3D action-adventure from director Patrick Lussier and starring Nicolas Cage as Milton, a hardened felon who has broken out of hell for one last chance at redemption. Intent on stopping a vicious cult, led by Jonah King (Billy Burke), who murdered his daughter, he has three days to stop them before they sacrifice her baby beneath a full moon.

During a press conference held after their Hall H panel at Comic-Con, co-stars Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard (who plays sexy, young waitress Piper) and William Fichtner (who plays an enigmatic killer known only as “The Accountant,” sent by the Devil to retrieve Milton) talked about the appeal of this project and what it was like to adjust their performance to the 3D technology while they were filming. Check out what they had to say after the jump:

Question: Nicolas, as an actor, what was the appeal of this project?

Nicolas: The first thing I would offer is that this is a movie that hails from ‘70s classic films, like High Plains Drifter, and other movies that were a major factor in my decision to become a film actor. And then, on top of that, it’s in 3D and directed by one of the pioneers in this day and age of 3D, with Patrick Lussier. He’s a purist, so I knew it would be in the camera and that I would have an opportunity to try to work with the 3D camera and see how that would inform my performance, with different body language and different ways I could play with the format. That was a big draw for me.

What is the essence of this character for you?

Nicolas: I try to keep my characters raising more questions than giving answers. I don’t want to leave too much on the table. I want you to have your connection and your secret understanding of the character, so I hesitate to talk too much about anything specific about him.

There’s a twist and a half in The Joneses, an edgy new comedy starring Demi Moore and David Duchovny. The Joneses have moved in next door. They are beautiful, rich, and enviably kitted out. The neighbors want to be them, have what they have, and borrow a little of their perfection.

However, illicit sex, commercialism, and power struggles crack the carefully groomed Jones façade. Twenty three year old Amber Heard, a rising star in Hollywood’s youth brigade, plays the sex obsessed fashionista daughter who beds men twice her age.

Heard told Monsters & Critics that she immediately related to Jenn Jones.

“The first act of the film you start to notice that something is really off. My character is desperately seeking affection. She realizes she’s just looking to understand love. She’s a vulnerable character that’s cheeky and tough on the outside. There were some layers there and I thought it was a real character that made sense not just to me but to a lot of girls.”

Photographer Tasya van Ree has shared some new images on her official site and Facebook that feature some stunning new shots of Amber Heard. Amber is a frequent subject of Tasya’s, who she references as her “muse.” She told AfterEllen.com that Amber is to her as “Gala is to Salvador Dali, Kiki de Montparnasse is to Man Ray, Beatrice is to Dante Alighieri.” Quite the compliment if you ask me – and who could blame her!

Van Ree’s new exhibit, “Untitled Project,” debuts at L.A.’s Celebrity Vault on August 11. It’s likely Amber will be attending so hopefully we will have some new event pictures of her next week. Tasya says it’s a collection of portraits that she’s taken over the last year. She describes them as “a showcase of randomness, staged performances, intimate moments, candid gestures, pondering expressions, seductive revelations, playful demeanors, and so forth.”
