Have you heard about Amber Heard? With one of TIFF’s most buzzed-about films, and another on the way, you will. Amber Heard went about landing the lead role in the movie based on Hunter S. Thompson’s The Rum Diary, opposite Johnny Depp and Aaron Eckhart, the old-fashioned way. She applied in writing for it. It seems a fitting way to go about it, considering that, like Depp, the 23-year-old Texas-born actress is a true-blue gonzo groupie. “I’m a huge fan of Hunter S. Thompson,” the fast-rising star explained as she sat in a shady corner of a Yorkville hotel patio this week. “He was one of a kind and he has affected me throughout my whole life, since I could read. “As soon as I heard about the movie, I wrote letters to the director (Bruce Robinson) and producers involved.” In the notes, Heard explained that she, a lifelong passionate fan of the renegade reporter, was born to play Chenault in the story Thompson penned while in his 20s and based on his booze-soaked time as a reporter in Puerto Rico. And in doing so, she beat out one of Hollywood’s top leading ladies for the part, Scarlett Johannsen. |

We got many e-mails and comments regarding the recent screencaps posted from The Informers. I would like to state now that while we respect everyone’s views and opinions regarding the nudity and maturity of the caps, but we are keeping them online for the time being. I cautioned the visitors and you have another warning in the gallery. While we don’t want to offend anyone, we have a right to publish the caps since this is a part of Amber’s career and since we follow all aspects of her career as long as she is comfortable with it, we’re comfortable in our decision. Amber hasn’t stated she regrets those scenes or anything (as of yet) so until / if that day comes we will probably keep them up. Quite honestly, she’s nude throughout the majority of the film, to simply not add them would not reflect her role’s size in screencaps. |

The Informers was released on DVD a few days ago and now we have screencaps of Amber playing Christie, thanks to my friend Mikaela! Her role is small but very memorable and Amber looks gorgeous in the movie as always. Miss Heard took a lot of risks with this role, and most of her scenes are of very mature content (such as nudity and drug use). We are cautioning those younger visitors who might not wish to see such images to simply not enter the album if they make you uncomfortable. |

Lakeshore Records will release the original score for The Informers, available digitally (iTunes and Amazon Digital) and in stores on June 9, 2009. Christopher Young (The Uninvited, Untraceable) composed the music. The label released the original soundtrack on April 28th. Golden Globe-nominated composer Christopher Young has scored almost 100 successful features ranging across virtually every genre, all with strikingly original music. Never repeating himself, Young’s works extend from the spine-tingling Hellraiser showcasing his seminal upbringing in horror; to the new-techno sound of Swordfish and the resonant, genuine Celtic sounds of The Shipping News. With each successive Christopher Young crafted score, the composer continually stretches the bounds of his versatility. |
