Marisa Abela Nails It As Amy Winehouse In ‘Back To Black’ Trailer
HuffPost
The "Industry" actor is a dead ringer for the late music icon in the biopic’s new trailer.
The life of Amy Winehouse is bound for the big screen this spring.
Audiences got their first look at “Back to Black,” starring Marisa Abela, with the release of a new trailer Thursday.
The clip shows Abela as Winehouse in her signature beehive hairdo and heavy black eyeliner, commanding the stage at grimy nightclubs before becoming a global superstar.
“I don’t write music to be famous,” she proclaims at one point in the trailer. “I write songs because I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t.”
Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, the biopic is billed as “a never-before-seen glimpse” at Winehouse’s rise to fame. The film is produced in partnership with the six-time Grammy winner’s estate.
