Amber Heard set to co-star in “Aquaman”

CANBERRA, Australia -- Actress Amber Heard appears set to return to Australia’s Gold Coast to star in the DC Comics blockbuster movie “Aquaman” a year after she was convicted in the same tourist town of smuggling her pet Yorkshire terriers Pistol and Boo into the country.

The movie -- which will also feature “Game of Thrones” star Jason Momoa in the lead role -- will be shot next year at Village Roadshow Studios near Gold Coast city in a deal that will cost the Australian government 22 million Australian dollars ($16 million), Treasurer Scott Morrison said Thursday.

Heard, 30, pleaded guilty in a Gold Coast court in April to falsifying an immigration document to conceal the dogs when she and her then-husband Johnny Depp flew into Australia in 2014 for the filming of the latest “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, in which Depp plays pirate Jack Sparrow.

Heard avoided jail under a deal that included taping an awkward public warning against others breaking Australia’s strict quarantine laws.

Morrison said Thursday that a “miniature motor home” would be provided for Pistol and Boo if Heard decided to bring them back through the proper quarantine channels.

“We will have a home for them if Amber would like to bring them on to the film set,” Morrison told reporters.
