'Who Am I?': Become familiar with Amber Heard, Johnny Depp's 'Rum Diary' Love

The Actor-brad Pitt is really a well-known fan and former Best friend from the late Hunter S. Thompson, however it works out that Amber Heard -- Depp's beautiful co-star in 'The Rum Diary' -- is another long term admirer from the eccentric, gonzo author. As a result, she could not believe her luck in becoming cast as love interest to both Depp and Aaron Eckhart within the new film. "Who am I?" she told Moviefone of her incredible casting. Well, she was the zombie chick in 'Zombieland,' a bunny around the short-resided series 'Playboy Club' and assisted saved the planet with Nicolas Cage in 'Drive Angry.' Heard sitting lower with Moviefone to go over playing symbolic of the American Dream that both Depp's and Eckhart's figures are chasing after, her history using the Thompson source book and dealing with probably the most celebrities in the world. (Depp, should you did not know.) Had you browse the book 'The Rum Diary' before you decide to made the film? Heard: I have been an enormous Hunter S. Thompson fan for any really very long time. There is a certain aesthetic which i appreciate I have been attracted towards the digital rebel-minded artist and when anything, that is what Hunter S. Thompson is. I have been keen on his. But this book differs also it spoke in my experience in different ways. And That I am excited after i heard these were creating a movie, however i might have never imagined getting a component inside it. How have you finish up obtaining the part? I just read the script and that i am grateful it was wonderful as was which it respected it around it did and accomplished it much to warrant Hunter S. Thompson's ideas and accomplished it much justice towards the subject material. I told myself I consider using any means to get the part. I began who audition for this also it would be a lengthy process, however i eventually first got it. That which was the best some of it for you personally, landing the role or that you simply were starring with The Actor-brad Pitt? Honestly, this complete situation continues to be this kind of unbelievable experience for me personally. Who am I? That i can obtain a job like it is really an incredible recognition and to utilize this type of sophisticated team with such gifted stars was unbelievable and it is unbelievable still in my experience even today. Have you get Johnny to inform all of you his tales about Hunter? [Within the press conference, Depp referred to his first ending up in Thompson, which involved him clearing space inside a bar having a taser along with a cattle push.] Personally i think so safe creating a movie such as this due to the connection that Johnny has already established with Hunter. Nobody might have chose to make this movie. Hunter has this type of specific aesthetic and the like an indescribable approach to his madness that It requires a certain type of madness and resourcefulness to know it and be thankful in ways it warrants and Johnny is ideal for your. He's a romantic reference to the fabric along with a personal relationship using the creator of this material with no one much better than Bruce Robinson to create it to existence. Had you been keen on Robinson's cult film, 'Withnail and that i?A Huge fan. One time i discovered he was exactly the same guy which was pointing 'The Rum Diary,' I had been like, "Oh, obviously, cure could do that?Inch Chenault is some a mysterious. Her motives are difficult to fathom. She's this great factor choosing the wealthy Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart's character), until this broke author (Johnny) arrives. We have seen her more through Johnny's eyes, therefore we get why he falls on her, but it is less obvious what she sees in him. The symbol she means is really an essential one out of the storyline. In lots of ways, she's the automobile the audience uses to visit from Point A to suggest B within the script. Obviously, between Aaron Eckhart and The Actor-brad Pitt is available this wide spectrum of the way to approach existence and also the American Dream. One signifies something that's a glorified, glamorous industry built on cutthroat imperialist-driven avarice and Johnny signifies the antithesis of this. So Chenault is essential because she, using the audience, goes from to each other. She, like Sanderson's bejeweled tortoise or his Corvettes, is symbolic of success and what you need to value and what you need to shoot for. The ones like Sanderson aim to possess may be. She begins off her journey as part of that, similar to property or any other kind of victim for this society. She's an ideal illustration of a lady of this class and time. Because underneath, there is a problematic individual that's edgy and very independent and it is in lots of ways the alternative of what you will expect a nineteen fifties or sixties housewife-in-the-making or socialite to become. [SPOILERS AHEAD] Right, such as the scene that the gym has where Sanderson really wants to leave and Chenault demands on remaining. She does her very own factor. That will get just a little frightening, frankly, when she will get left out and that we assume something awful has happened to her. I had been worried on her. Right, because she needs to break, there needs to be considered a moment where we have seen the American Dream harmed or fall, something needs to occur to it. Have you have trouble with that scene? The film does not enter into what went down, but it is implied it wasn't pretty. I believe as we choose to go any much deeper in it, it could have been, maybe .. I did not wish to exploit the worry there. Rather, I love that they needs to continue this journey after which everything changes. And she or he decides she needs another thing in existence. She selects Kemp (Depp's character). She selects love and also the opposite finish from the spectrum that she came. [Finish SPOILERS] To finish on the different note, what's your preferred rum drink? I do not drink a lot any longer, but ... I suppose a mojito. [Photo: WireImage] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook RELATED
