breakout star Marisa Abela is set to portray Amy Winehouse in the upcoming biopic about the late British music sensation. Sam Taylor Johnson is set to direct with the film with Focus Features and Monumental Picture teaming up to produce. Abela reportedly "blew away execs" as well as Taylor-Johnson for the highly coveted role that a number of actresses were in the running for. Focus Films also revealed a first look at the film and Abela in character, which can be seen below.
She continued, "I feel excited and humbled to have this opportunity to realise Amy’s beautifully unique and tragic story to cinema accompanied by the most important part of her legacy – her music. I am fully aware of the responsibility, with my writing collaborator – Matt Greenhalgh – I will create a movie that we will all love and cherish forever. Just like we do Amy."
“We are thrilled that Studiocanal, Focus Features and Monumental are making this movie celebrating our daughter Amy’s extraordinary music legacy and showcasing her talent in the way that it deserves,” they both said.
Oh my god! With the best make-up hair etc Marisa Abela still looks nothing like Amy. We will never forgive this basic blunder! Marisa fire your agent. You're finished. So sorry! Wanting the role not the same as being right for the role. Disaster in progress!!
Marisa Abela Even with the best make up and hair artists she still looks nothing like Amy!!! What's going on? Elvis .. nothing like him! Whitney ....nothing like her! Amy .... No! I hate this casting catastrophe? Money for nothing!
