After several attempts to bring a biopic about the late singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse to the big screen, a new movie is officially in the works from Sam Taylor-Johnson.
Following a long battle with alcohol and drug addiction, Winehouse’s life was cut short in 2011 at the age of 27, when she died from alcohol poisoning.Following her death, various attempts were made to produce a Winehouse biopic, including one from one from Lotus Entertainment with Noomi Rapace attached to star.
“I wouldn’t mind betting it would be an unknown, young, English – London, cockney – actress who looks a bit like Amy,” he remarked. “What we want is somebody to portray Amy in the way that she was… the funny, brilliant, charming and horrible person that she was. There’s no point really me making the film because I’m her dad. But to get the right people to do it, that’s very important, and we will.”
