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

"My mind immediately went to Rooney Mara for the role for some reason"
Jesus lord please no

If her family is involved, they're probably gonna use this to try and whitewash themselves. Her father was really unhappy with how he was portrayed in the Amy documentary.

i can't help it lmao. i don't care either way but i dunno why my mind went there

her family made a statement about OKing this (it's in the source) so i expect they plan to come out as saints, especially since they're producing

damn idk if anyone could play Amy. Dana DeLorenzo (Kelly on Ash v Evil Dead) actually used to perform as Amy in a tribute band! She sounded pretty good. But I mean, anyone could do the cartoon Amy impersonation, getting at her hurt and humour will be key for me.

Her family being involved makes me think they'll absolve the dad tho. lol.

I love Dana and since they ain't gonna listen to us and do the movie anyway, they might as well cast her. it's just a question of if this is going to be a hit or a bomb, and if it's a bomb, dana's career doesn't need that.

Holy shit, they really refuse to let her rest in peace. Give it a decade at least.

Unnecessarily early, let the dust set, seriously.

No to an Amy biopic. It's too soon.
