“I don’t think I was put on this Earth just to sing…” Studiocanal UK & Focus Features have unveiled the full official trailer for Back to Black, a dazzling Amy Winehouse biopic featuring English actress Marisa Abela as the famed singer-songwriter. Set to open in US theaters this May after debuting in the UK first in April. Discover Amy Winehouse’s incredible story in this film directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, delving into the life and career of Winehouse, beginning with her early days in the early 2000’s as a North London jazz musician and culminating in her rise to fame as a Grammy-winning singer with hit songs like “Rehab” and “Back to Black”. She tragically died in 2011 at the age of 27. Winehouse was already profiled in the excellent doc Amy. Back to Black’s main cast also includes Jack O’Connell, Eddie Marsan, Juliet Cowan, Ansu Kabia, Bronson Webb, and Lesley Manville. In 2018, Winehouse’s estate signed a deal for this biopic film about her life & career, so it is an official project. This looks ravishing, though does seem a tad campy.
Here’s the main official trailer (+ poster) for Sam Taylor-Johnson’s Back to Black, direct from YouTube:

A celebration of the most iconic – and much missed – homegrown star of the 21st century. Back to Black is the extraordinary story of Amy Winehouse’s early rise to fame from her early days in Camden through the making of her groundbreaking album, “Back to Black” that catapulted Winehouse to global fame. Told through Amy’s eyes and inspired by her deeply personal lyrics, the film explores and embraces the many layers of the iconic artist and the tumultuous love story at the center of one of the most legendary albums of all time.. Back to Black is directed by the British filmmaker Sam Taylor-Johnson, director of the films Nowhere Boy, Fifty Shades of Grey, and A Million Little Pieces previously, plus shorts and music videos and the series “Solos” and “Hunters” most recently. The screenplay is written by Matt Greenhalgh. Produced by Debra Hayward and Alison Owen. Studiocanal will debut Back to Black in UK cinemas starting April 12th, 2024 this spring, then in US theaters starting May 17th this summer movie season. How does that look?
