Amber Heard steps into the high-heeled shoes of a sultry femme fatale on the 'futuristic' set of London Fields

Her lacy black dress seemed to be at odds with her gloomy, dystopian surroundings on Friday – but fortunately for Amber Heard the graffiti strewn backdrop was all for show.

The 27-year-old actress was shooting scenes for forthcoming film London Fields – an adaptation of the 1989 bestseller by British novelist Martin Amis.

While the novel hit bookshelves as eighties decadence faded into a new decade, it was set ten-years ahead, in a 1999 struggling against social, moral and environmental decay.


To her right a series of dirty wooden boards were daubed with sobering slogans, amongst them ‘Time is Now Over’ and ‘It’s Nice Down Here.’

In keeping with her role as sultry femme fatale Nicola Six – a woman who knows the exact date and time upon which she will be brutally murdered – Amber wore the same lacy black ensemble she’s been wearing on set for much of the week.


One person not spotted on set was Johnny Depp, with whom Amber has been romantically linked following their appearance together in box-office fail The Rum Diaries.

Depp is understood to be filming a cinematic version of Stephen Sondheim musical Into the Woods at Shepperton Studios while Amber films London Fields on location at Olympic Park in Stratford and other locations in the capital.

Amis’ novel has been a Hollywood target for more than a decade, with a string of directors attached to the project before it was eventually offered to first-timer Matthew Cullen.

London Fields is expected to go on general release next year.
