- Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) July 11, 2022
After years of attempts in development, Studiocanal is making an Amy Winehouse biopic, entitled Back to Black, with Sam Taylor-Johnson directing and a script written by Matt Greenhalgh, who also wrote the film Nowhere Boy, also directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson.
From the article:
"The film is expected to take a look at the life and music of Winehouse who started off as a budding North London jazz singer to eventually becoming a Grammy-winning music superstar with hit records that included Rehab and Back To Black. Her life would eventually be cut short in 2011 at age 27 following a long battle with alcohol and drugs.
This pic is being made with full support from the Amy Winehouse estate and producers and Taylor-Johnson will begin their search for the individual who will take on the role of Winehouse in the weeks to come."
