As we await further announcements, let the fantasy casting commence.
The extraordinary story of Amy Winehouse—the supremely talented singer-songwriter who went from being a rising star on London’s jazz scene to a six-time Grammy-winning, Halloween costume-inspiring superstar before passing away from alcohol poisoning at the age of 27—has already been told in a few different formats. There was 2015’s, Jeremy Marre’s in-depth look at the making of the titular album; and 2021’s Marina Parker-helmed, in which her friends and family reflect on her life and legacy.
It’s also crucial to note that the film is being made with the full support of the Amy Winehouse estate, which includes the musician’s father, Mitch, who faced criticism for his perceived role in his daughter’s downfall following the release of Kapadia’s documentary. This decision means that Taylor-Johnson will likely have permission to delve into Winehouse’s sensational back catalogue, but also raises questions about how sympathetically her family could be portrayed.
However, there’s another question that we’re even more eager to know the answer to: Who on earth will play the tattooed, beehived, cat-eyed singer? Per, Taylor-Johnson’s search will begin in the coming weeks, and it’s not yet clear whether the studio would prefer a big name or a fresh face. Back in 2015, Noomi Rapace was attached to play Winehouse in a project that was ultimately shelved, and in 2018, Lady Gaga was among those touted for the part.
