The post Set Pics From The Amy Winehouse Biopic Have Dropped & Fans Are Fuming At The Casting Choice appeared first on PEDESTRIAN.TV .

biopic no one asked for, and fans are not fkn impressed. has been cast as Winehouse in the upcoming film and images of her on the set have circulated online for all the wrong reasons. Much to fans’ dismay, Abela’s costuming is so dogshit it looks like something you’d see a drunken partygoer toddling home in the morning after Halloween festivities in New York. It’s giving cheap DIY, and it’s certainly not what you’d expect from a biopic that claims to honour her. There’s also the fact that Abela looks nothing like Amy either. With her big, round doe eyes, button nose and pale, petite face, she’s irreconcilable with Winehouse. All the unique and iconic aspects of Winehouse’s look (her strong nose, incredible jaw and big head for starters) seem to have been airbrushed away so she looks like the stereotypical female star: tiny and doll-like. Interestingly, you could say the same for  when she was cast in her ill-fated biopic. What is it with these films infantilising the women they claim to represent? Why does every sympathetic, abused woman need to look, in ‘s wise words, like a sexy baby? These sentiments were echoed by angry and disappointed fans who slammed Abela’s dogshit costume. “This is a heinous crime,” one person tweeted. “Is that supposed to be Amy???” asked another. Others called Abela names like “Shein Amy” and “Amy from Ali Express”. “She looks like a episode extra,” another person quipped, while someone else said she looked like “an character from 2002″. Others questioned why an Amy Winehouse biopic was even being made. Some pointed out it appeared to be just another attempt to exploit her and demanded director () “let her rest”. “Can we please leave the deceased alone? More often than not, these biopics are a mess and exploitative,” one person commented on a about the odd casting choice. “Yay another biopic celebrating female suffering,” said another. “Her family and the industry exploited her when she was living, and they continue to exploit her after her death. LET HER REST,” wrote a third. Amy Winehouse struggled with alcohol and drug dependancies that ultimately took her life. She suffered great shame, abuse and criticism from tabloid media due to these addictions. Winehouse was only 27 when she died from an overdose in 2011.
