The trial of Amber Heard and her former husband, Johnny Depp, will perhaps go down in history as one of the most infamous celebrity face-offs ever. It was held from April 11 to June 1, 2022, and focused on allegations of defamation between the former couple. The fallout of the trial has been damaging for both parties involved. However, both of them are making their returns.

According to the trailer for In the Fire, Amber Heard will play a doctor named Grace Burnham from the 1890s. She will travel from the city of New York to a remote plantation to understand the problems of a little boy. This young boy named Martin Marquez possesses unexplainable abilities.

This leads to the locals believing Martin is related to the Antichrist or the Devil and is the reason for all the mishappenings in the village.

However, Grace is determined to prove that the condition the child has is not paranormal but medical.


2) The movie has a female-fronted Western atmosphere around it

Calling In the Fire a pure Western would be wrong, but from the atmosphere of the trailer, it is safe to say that it will have several elements of the genre. Even though male-centered plotlines have dominated Western films, female-led films have broken the status quo and succeeded enormously.

Some of the genre's highest-rated and beloved female-led films are True Grit, The Homesman, Meek's Cutoff, The Keeping Room, The Quick and the Dead, Calamity Jane, and Jane Got a Gun.

Spanish legend Eduardo Noriega will play Martin Marquez's guardian, presumably his father, Nicolas Marquez. Not much is known about Eduardo's role, but he will try to protect his child from the locals who believe that the devil possesses Martin.

Noriega, aged 50, has been an actor since 1993 and has had an illustrious career in Spanish Cinema. Although he studied law and had a strong passion for music, his inclination towards acting led to Eduardo deciding to make a career out of it. His most famous projects are Thesis, Open Your Eyes, The Wolf, and Vantage Point.
