Called “Back to Black” and directed by British filmmaker Sam Taylor-Johnson, the movie will focus on Winehouse’s “vibrant years living in London in the early aughts and her intense journey to fame”.
Speculation had been rife as to who would play the “Rehab” and “Back to Black” singer. Rising star Abela, 26, is best known for high octane television drama “Industry”, about a group of graduates competing for jobs at a top investment bank. “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.”
Considered one of the most talented singers of her generation, Winehouse’s untimely death shook the music world.
