It continues, āBACK TO BLACK will give attention to Amyās extraordinary genius, creativity and honesty that infused the whole lot she did. A journey that took her from the craziness and color of 90ās Camden High Street to global adoration – and back again, BACK TO BLACK crashes through the looking glass of celebrity to observe this journey from behind the mirror, to see what Amy saw, to feel what she felt.ā
Who shall be within the Amy Winehouse Back to Black movie?
After Abela as Winehouse, the film’s IMDB page only lists her co-star as actor Ryan O’Doherty playing the role of Chris Taylor, Winehouse’s former partner about who she allegedly wrote her hit āStronger Than Me.ā
āI wrote [āStronger Than Me} for a person that I used to be with on the time, who I wrote plenty of the songs about, and we had already split up a few times, and I actually didnāt know why we weren’t alleged to be together,ā she told MTV in 2004. āAfter which it just got here to me sooner or later how, āYou need to be stronger than me!ā Iām the girl and also youāre the boy. Youāre seven years older than me, and it’s best to really be someone for me to come back to at the top of my day with my problems, not add to my problems at the top of the day. I suppose I wrote āStronger Than Meā when I noticed he was a giant girl.ā
Abela is a well known face from her role in Industry, and he or she is also making an appearance in Greta Gerwig’s live-action Barbie film across from Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
Are there images or a trailer for Back to Black?
A couple of photos of Abela as Winehouse have been shared, and he or she is a surprising lookalike for the singer.
