Amber Heard Plays Wayward, Sexy Tourist in Horror Film

For her upcoming film, Amber Heard rides a bike in probably not very much clothing and sunbathes in even less. You guys done drooling over your Megan Fox yet? Oh well, I did my best. It’s called And Soon The Darkness. Amber Heard (Pineapple Express) and Odette Yustman (The Unborn) will star in this story about two American tourists journeying through a foreign country. One is having too much fun, as usual, and screwing around with the pair’s tight schedule. Then one girl vanishes and the other must find her before nightfall.

The most interesting bit from this Hollywood Reporter piece is that Heard will be co-producing. Who knows, maybe that could boost her career a little bit if this movie turns out decently? It hasn’t hurt Seth Rogen, her pal from Pineapple Express. From the trailer, the 1970 version looks similar to classic 70’s horror pictures. Reading Fangoria and Variety articles, And Soon The Darkness doesn’t seem to have been immensely popular. For the remake, that allows a lot of freedom in improving the story without fear of backlash by fans. Rather than France, the new version is shooting in Argentina. The article doesn’t mention anything about knife-wielding maniacs, but we’ll have to learn more. Keep checking back at Film School Rejects for all the grisly details of And Soon The Darkness.
