Amber Heard Makes Red Carpet Return 1 Year After Johnny Depp Trial
The Aquaman actress attended the international premiere of her latest film, In the Fire, on June 23 at the Taormina Film Festival in Italy. It was her first red carpet appearance since she and her ex-husband Johnny Depp’s televised defamation trial ended over a year ago.
Heard, 37, wore a black caped maxi dress with matching platform sandals and wore her long blonde hair down in curls as she smiled for pics on the carpet—technically teal—alone and with co-stars such as Luca Calvani, Eduardo Noriega and Yari Gugliucci their director, Conor Allyn, as well as actor William “Billy” Baldwin, who attended the festival to promote the animated comedy Billie’s Magic World (which also features his brother Alec Baldwin).
Heard also seemed upbeat while snapping photographs with admirers and signing autographs.
The actress plays a doctor who travels to a secluded plantation in the 1890s to heal a youngster with inexplicable talents who the local priest believes is possessed by the Devil in In the Fire.
The picture has no release date and is Heard’s final acting project. It was shot in Italy in early 2022, months before she and Depp’s defamation trial began that April. She will also reprise her role as Mera in the upcoming Aquaman sequel, which will be released on December 20, 2021.
Heard remained mainly out of the public glare after the trial ended on June 1, 2022. However, the actress began to be photographed in Madrid in May this year. Speaking Spanish, she has often told local paparazzi that she enjoys living in Spain.
Heard also seemed upbeat while snapping photographs with admirers and signing autographs.
The trial resulted in success for Depp, who made his red carpet return this past May at the Cannes Film Festival to open the film, Jeanne du Barry.
Depp had filed a $50 million lawsuit against Heard. A jury found the actress responsible for defaming the actor in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she wrote, “two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse.” While the actor was not identified, Heard had publicly accused him of domestic violence in a 2016 restraining order, which he rejected at the time.
After the jury’s ruling, Amber was forced to pay Depp more than $10 million in damages. Heard, who termed the decision a “setback” for women, scored a minor triumph after filing a $100 million countersuit against the actor. At the same time, the jury ordered Depp to pay her $2 million because his counsel accused her of staging a “hoax.”
Both actors contested their verdicts, but Amber agreed to pay her ex $1 million to resolve the matter last December. A source close to the Pirates of the Caribbean star told E! News earlier this month that Depp intends to donate the money to five charities.

Actor Ian McKellen, 85, Is In ‘Good Spirits’ And Expected To Recover From Fall Off Stage In London
LONDON — Actor Ian McKellen is expected to recover fully after falling from a London stage during a fight scene and being hospitalized, according to producers.
According to a representative for the Noel Coward Theatre production, McKellen, 85, was in “good spirits” after medics indicated a scan showed he was likely to recover completely following his fall on Monday night.

According to producers, McKellen’s Tuesday performance was canceled, but he was anticipated to return to the stage on Wednesday.
The stage and screen veteran, who played Gandalf in the “Lord of the Rings” movie, yelled out in pain following the fall, according to a BBC correspondent at the theatre.
McKellen was cast as the rogue John Falstaff in “Player Kings,” a Robert Icke-directed dramatization of William Shakespeare’s two “Henry IV” history plays.

McKellen lost his balance and fell off the stage in a scene with Toheeb Jimoh’s Prince Hal and Samuel Edward-Cook’s Henry Percy, which surprised the audience.
“Sir Ian seemed to trip as he moved downstage to take a more active part in the scene,” audience member Paul Critchley told the PA news agency, describing it as a surprise. “He picked up momentum as he moved downstage which resulted in him falling off the stage directly in front of the audience.”
Staff and two medics in the audience assisted the actor, according to a statement from the theatre.
The theatre was evacuated, and the play was canceled.

Aegis Space Law is providing a free online Space Regulatory Calculator to help US businesses negotiate the complex regulatory landscape.
The Space Regulatory Calculator, which was unveiled on June 4, is intended to assist early-stage space companies in complying with space-related regulations issued by the Commerce Department, Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the State Department.
“Aegis works with a lot of space startups,” Bailey Reichelt, Aegis Space Law’s partner and co-founder, told SpaceNews via email. “The common denominator is that they don’t consider regulations as something to plan for until they have the engineering and financing in place. Unfortunately, regulatory timelines can be significantly longer than other timelines.”
Reichelt, who developed the Space Regulatory Calculator with Aegis colleague Will Lewis, advises founders to consider regulatory permission as soon as they start designing space technology and seeking funds “to maximize the chances of that business succeeding.”
Costly mistakes
Failure to address regulations early in the planning process might result in costly and time-consuming mistakes. For example, a satellite company may choose a foreign antenna array based on its cost and ground-station compatibility, unaware that the operating frequency would entail “a lengthy and expensive regulatory burden,” Reichelt said.
Furthermore, federal acquisition regulations governing current contracts may prohibit the use of foreign-sourced components.
“This kind of setback happens all the time when you have no idea what regulations apply to you,” Reichelt stated.
Legal Advice
Traditionally, space corporations used attorneys to identify which restrictions related to their operations. Many new space enterprises cannot afford “the sophisticated legal advice required to navigate this many agencies,” Reichelt stated.
“This leaves companies vulnerable to missteps that can cost time and money.” Mistakes in regulatory compliance can potentially jeopardize the firm’s or mission’s viability, she said.
It is “entirely unreasonable for a company with no cash flow to spend tens of thousands of dollars on lawyers before they even have paid employees,” Reichelt stated.
“If we want the space industry to prosper, and the United States’ technological sector to continue leading innovation globally, we must lower legal and regulatory hurdles across the board.
The Space Law Calculator is intended to assist entrepreneurs in determining what kind of licenses and permissions they will require, how long the approval process will typically take, and what costs they will incur to assure regulatory compliance.
“A small business looking to launch its first satellite, for example, would see, among other things, that it may need to plan at least two years in advance to ensure required licenses are obtained prior to launch,” according to the announcement.
Aegis attorneys want to update the Space Regulatory Calculator when regulations change.
Attorneys from Aegis Space Law in Washington contributed to the formation of the nonprofit Association of Commercial Space Professionals. Additionally, Aegis attorneys teach at the Association’s Space Regulatory Bootcamp.
