The full trailer for the much-hyped Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black has been released, after a short teaser trailer was made available in January.
Starring Marisa Abela as Winehouse, Back to Black is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson and written by Matt Greenhalgh; also appearing are Jack O’Connell as Winehouse’s boyfriend Blake Fielder-Civil and Eddie Marsan as her father Mitch.
Winehouse died at her home in Camden, London, in 2011, and Asif Kapadia directed a 2015 documentary about her career. The Winehouse family signed a deal with producers Monumental to make a film in 2018, and shooting was completed in 2023.
Performance coach Anne-Marie Speed recently spoke about the demand on Abela in her portrayal of Winehouse, saying: “It’s full-time preparation, it’s like an athlete and people really underestimate how physical voice production can be.”
Back to Black is due for release in April in the UK, and May in the US.
