StudioCanal has debuted the first trailer and a poster for Back to Black, the upcoming biopic from director Sam Taylor-Johnson (Nowhere Boy, Fifty Shades of Grey), which is based on the life of iconic British singer-songwriter Amy Winhouse (Marisa Abela).
Joining Abela in the cast are Jack O’Connell as Blake Fielder-Civil, Eddie Marsan as Mitch Winehouse, Juliet Cowan as Janis Winehouse and Lesley Manville as Amy’s grandmother Cynthia. Watch the trailer below…
A celebration of the most iconic – and much missed – homegrown star of the 21st century, BACK TO BLACK tells the extraordinary tale of Amy Winehouse. Painting a vivid, vibrant picture of the Camden streets she called home and capturing the struggles of global fame, BACK TO BLACK honours Amy’s artistry, wit, and honesty, as well as trying to understand her demons. An unflinching look at the modern celebrity machine and a powerful tribute to a once-in-a-generation talent. Featuring many of Amy’s hit songs recorded and performed in the film by Marisa Abela, BACK TO BLACK is made with the full support of Universal Music Group and SONY Music Publishing.
Back to Black arrives in cinemas on April 12th.
