The Amy Winehouse Movie Has Released Its First Trailer: Watch Now

On August 5, 2007, singer Amy Winehouse took to the stage at Lollapalooza in Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois. A photo of her performance was captured by Roger Kisby/Getty Images.

It's been over ten years since Amy Winehouse passed away, but her music continues to keep her memory alive. Her admirers can now get a sneak peek of her upcoming movie through its first trailer. This film will forever preserve her image and legacy for posterity to enjoy.

On January 11th, the first sneak peek of the Winehouse movie titled "Back to Black" was released. The video reintroduces the famous singer to the public, but portrayed by Marisa Abela this time. The actress does an impressive job of resembling the late Grammy winner, making it hard to recognize her at first. Abela also seems to embody Winehouse's character in the clip, but it's challenging to evaluate her full performance based on only a few snippets.

The Back to Black trailer has been released for audiences worldwide. However, it is important to note that there could be another version of the trailer released in the future. The movie showcases various aspects of Amy Winehouse's life - from her humble beginnings before becoming famous, to how she gained worldwide recognition. The film also depicts her struggle with addiction, avoiding paparazzi, and even her epic Grammy awards where she won several awards, even though she wasn't present to receive them.

Although the trailer does not specify a launch date, Back to Black is provisionally set to be released on May 10 in the United States. This date is about 30 days later than the film's debut in various other regions, including Europe.

One of the various biographical movies created around Winehouse's life is Back to Black. However, it's the one her family chose to proceed with. The official agreement to pursue the movie project was made by her estate in 2018. The shooting location was based in London during the beginning of 2023.

The movie called Winehouse is filmed by a director named Sam Taylor-Johnson from Britain. Sam has prior involvement with producing this kind of narrative, as she rose to success over ten years ago by making a movie about John Lennon called Nowhere Boy. Additionally, she is recognized for her contributions to creating films like Fifty Shades of Grey and A Million Little Pieces.

Abela might have just landed the role that could take her career to new heights in Back to Black. Although she has already kickstarted her professional journey with TV shows like Industry and movies like Barbie, she has yet to cement her status as a major star in the big leagues. However, her performance as the singer in Back to Black could be the game-changer she needs to gain recognition from a wider audience and earn critical acclaim. Alongside Abela, the film features a talented cast including Jack O'Connell, Eddie Marsan, Juliet Cowan, and Oscar nominee Lesley Manville.

The Beatles' return single has reached a significant milestone, according to recent news from Forbes.
