First Look From Amy Winehouse’s ‘Back To Black’ Biopic Has Been Released
The late star continued to attract interest in his life despite his death at the age of 27 due to alcohol poisoning.

News about it first made in 2015 and 2018, respectively, but it just came out. According to YOU, the musician’s family had initially signed a deal with Monumental Pictures, and “Kinky Boots” writer Geoff Deane was slated to write the script.
It also states that proceeds from the film will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation. Finally, in 2022, Sam Taylor-Johnson was revealed as the director of the film to be produced by StudioCanal.
As for who will take on the role of the “Stronger Than Me” singer, Marisa Abela, best known for her role as Yasmin in the BBC drama Industry, was cast to take it. Photos of the actor in character have been released as the film explores the rise and tragic death of the singer, who was a close friend of Taylor Johnson.
The “Rehab” singer’s family, especially her father, Mitch Winehouse, is fully supportive of the film being made, unlike her open criticism of Asif Kapadia’s 2015 Oscar-winning documentary, “Amy.”
The problem with what he calls a “horrible” documentary is how he is portrayed in the worst possible light. In 2018 he stated that an “unknown, young, English London cockney actress” who looked like his dead daughter could play the role.
The epic film is likely to be released in 2024, and an image of the actress in character was posted to the @focusfeatures Instagram page with the caption, “Marisa Abela is Amy Winehouse. Production begins on Sam Taylor-Johnson’s “BACK TO BLACK” on January 16. Link in bio for more info.
Fans dropped comments below the post, with most stating that they were looking forward to its release. One person said, “We are so excited about this! Marisa looks so beautiful because of her and I she will do her justice! Thank you so much for making a biopic about Amy, she really deserves this movie! ❤️.”

While another stated, “He definitely deserves a biopic! Looking forward to seeing it once they’re done!” One expressed excitement, writing, “Not all biopics are paint by numbers. Hope Anthony McCarten doesn’t write this.”
One follower criticized it a bit saying, “OK ? Well you have a brilliant British actor there, so a good start, but you better get it right!! No pressure though, but fingers crossed for you because this should be good ?.”
