WATCH: The Trailer For The Amy Winehouse Biopic Is Here

The first trailer for the upcoming Amy Winehouse biopic has just landed ahead of its release later this year.

Back to Black stars Marisa Abela as Amy, and will document the singer’s rise to fame in the early 2000s, her musical legacy, her relationships, and her early struggles with addiction and stardom.

Directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, the biopic also stars Jack O’Connell as Blake Fielder and Eddie Marsan as Amy’s father Mitch.

Taylor-Johnson previously said that she was excited for the film to arrive on the big screen: “I feel excited and humbled to have this opportunity to realise Amy’s beautifully unique and tragic story to cinema accompanied by the most important part of her legacy — her music.

“I am fully aware of the responsibility, with my writing collaborator — Matt Greenhalgh — I will create a movie that we will all love and cherish forever. Just like we do Amy.”

The film is supported by Amy’s family, who are also acting as executive producers on the project.

An official synopsis reads: “Back to Black will focus on Amy’s extraordinary genius, creativity and honesty that infused everything she did.

“A journey that took her from the craziness and colour of ’90s Camden High Street to global adoration – and back again, Back to Black 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.”

Back to Black is set for release in Irish cinemas on April 12, 2024.
