Amy Winehouse’s family will have a hand in this biopic, as they will executive produce the movie about the late singer. Monumental Pictures will produce the movie, with “Kinky Boots” writer Geoff Deane penning the script. No

L. Gaga should play her.

My vote’s for Felicity Jones. She’s actually English and I think she could really be done up to look just like her.

oh actually yes to this casting

Absolutely.

Wasn't Noomi Rapace in talks to play her?

I don't know how anyone could play Amy well, she was such a character I feel someone like imitating her will just look silly and cheap.

She would make a better Joan Jett imo

That would be so weird

[alienjiive]

lol sorry my tone was weird too

I’m just imagining the absurdity of Lauren as Amy but it’d make sense for Lifetime! Lmao

I don’t like it :(

Biopics, especially about people who passed fairly recently, make me a little uncomfortable because they just feel exploitative to me. A documentary is a little different because they’re not just like literally making things up or dramaticizing the artist’s Wikipedia page.

exactly! The Amy documentary was great (although I wish they'd explore her bisexuality) and a film about her life seems exploitative and way too soon.

the Amy documentary is heart breaking. this feels gross tbh. she was clearly a private person who i don't think would want this
