With his shaved head marked by a tattoo from his favorite film, 1951’s A Place in the Sun, Vikar is a bizarre presence even amid the dreamers and players. He finds work first building sets, then as an apprentice editor obsessed with wielding the power of moving images. As his involvement in the creative process deepens, so does his fascination with a tragic screen goddess named Soledad. Together they discover just how hard it is to live in the blurred boundary between reality and illusion.

Johnny Depp is sending a subpoena to James Franco after alleged surveillance video surfaced showing the actor meeting with Amber Heard a day after the fight that reportedly ended the couple’s marriage.

The video was obtained by The Blast, and was taken on May 22, 2016 in an elevator of the Los Angeles apartment that Johnny and Amber once shared.

Amber is seen riding the elevator, and then reappearing with James. They also seemingly do not want to allow their faces to be seen clearly by the elevator camera.

Johnny‘s team reportedly wants to question James, who is being called on as a “witness,” to see if they discussed the fight, or if James saw alleged injuries to her face from the night.
