The Industry star sports Winehouse’s iconic beehive hairdo in first look at upcoming biopic.
A new image for Amy Winehouse biopic starring Marisa Abela has been released, showcasing the Industry star sporting Winehouse’s iconic beehive.
Produced by STUDIOCANAL and Monumental Picture, Back to Black will delve into the late singer’s life and career, from her early days in north London to her rise to fame.
Sam Taylor-Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey) directs, while Matt Greenhalgh (Control) has penned the script.
Back to Black marks the pair’s second collaboration, having worked together on 2009’s Nowhere Boy. The film is set to land in cinemas next year.
STUDIOCANAL stated the biopic “crashes through the looking glass of celebrity to watch this journey from behind the mirror, to see what Amy saw, to feel what she felt”, and has been made with the full support of the Amy Winehouse estate.
