Nick Cave Scoring Amy Winehouse Biopic ‘Back to Black’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Sam Taylor-Johnson's Amy Winehouse biopic 'Back to Black' is being scored by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.
While Winehouse’s own songs, such as “Back to Black” (which featured in the recent trailer), “Valerie” and “Rehab” will undoubtedly take center stage in the film (with most recorded and performed by Abela), Cave and Ellis are understood to have composed about 20-30 minutes of music. The two have also recorded as Grinderman, formed in 2006, and have composed numerous, film, TV and theater soundtracks together including “The Proposition,” “Lawless,” “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” The Road,” “Hell or High Water” and “Dahmer.” The film, which reunites Taylor-Johnson with her “Nowhere Boy” screenwriter Matt Greenhaigh, is being produced by Alison Owen (“Saving Mr. Banks,” “Me Before You”) and Debra Hayward (“Les Miserables,” “Bridget Jones’s Baby”) of Monumental Pictures, alongside Nicky Kentish-Barnes (“About Time,” “Everest”).
