Viewers of the new movie about the defamation trial betweenJohnny DeppandAmber Heardmight be waiting with bated breath to see just how close their onscreen counterparts come to nailing their looks and mannerisms.
On Wednesday,Entertainment Weeklydebutedthe first trailerfor the Tubi original movieHot Take: The Depp/Heard Trial, which stars Mark Hapka and Megan Davis as Depp, 59, and Heard, 36.
Hapka sports the style of sunglasses Depp often wore during the trial as scenes in the trailer play out, his dark hair pulled back away from his face and secured into a bun as thePirates of the Caribbeanactor often does.
He also wears a goatee similar to Depp’s, as well as other clothing in the actor’s style for scenes not in the courtroom, including an unbuttoned shirt, pageboy cap and statement necklace.
Davis, meanwhile, wears multiple outfits that mirror those theAquamanactress wore in court, her dark-blonde hair styled the way Heard wore hers on multiple days of court appearances.

The minute-long teaser also shows flashbacks of their relationship, including a scene whereshe asks him if he’s “jealous"of her costar friendJames Franco.
The trailer ends with Hapka’s Depp smoking in the backseat of a car, telling his driver, “Can’t wait to see what’s next.”
Reps for Heard and Depp have not responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment about the film.
Speaking with host Janine Rubenstein on thePEOPLE Every Daypodcastthis week, Davis said shehadn’t seen any of Heard’s films nor watched any of the trialbefore being cast as the star.
She also added that, once she had caught up on the background, she had to prepare differently for the trial scenes than she did for the reenactments of some of the former couple’s more fraught personal moments.

“There’s difficulties with both, right?” Davis said. “Because [with] the trial, you have the real footage, so you have to nail it, and you hope to nail it. Whereas with the reenactments, you don’t have the footage so you hope to get their energy right and who they are as people, right?”
As for Hapka, he told Rubenstein the public scrutiny of Depp and Heard’s court case impacted him as an actor.
“I felt sad watchingthe social media response to the trialbecause I felt like these are two very real human beings, which is why I was interested in the film when I was first approached about it,” he explains. “Because I think as artists, any form of artists, all you can hope to do is bring understanding and compassion to places where there maybe wasn’t before.”
