The team behind an upcoming biopic of British singer Amy Winehouse are reportedly in talks with Noomi Rapace (Prometheus) to play the role of the controversial star.

Screen Daily reports that the film from writer-director Kirsten Sheridan (August Rush) is attempting to negotiate with the in-demand Swede, who has Prometheus 2 on the horizon.
The news comes hot on the heels of Asif Kapadia’s Amy, which became the highest-grossing British documentary of all time earlier this year.
That film came under fire from Winehouse’s family – especially from father Mitch, who is reportedly putting together another film project about his daughter.
