Marisa Abela Mesmerizes in First Amy Winehouse ‘Back to Black’ Biopic Trailer
The actress nails the late British singer’s look and swagger in preview of Sam Taylor-Johnson’s film.
The first trailer for director Sam Taylor-Johnson’s upcoming Amy Winehousebiopic, Back to Black, dropped on Thursday morning (Jan. 11), in which Industry co-star Marisa Abela fully embodies the brightly burning, troubled British R&B singer who died in 2011 at 27 of an accidental alcohol overdose after years of substance use struggles. “You gotta remember, I ain’t no Spice Girl,” Winehouse says as the chronicle of her meteoric rise to fame becomes increasingly hectic. The trailer’s description promises that the movie will be a “celebration of the most iconic – and much missed – homegrown star of the 21st century… painting a vivid, vibrant picture of the Camden streets she called home and capturing the struggles of global fame… [and honoring] Amy’s artistry, wit, and honesty, as well as trying to understand her demons.
