Back to BlackDirected by Sam Taylor-Johnson and written by Matt Greenhalgh, the new biopic will look back on Winehouse's"vibrant years living in London in the early aughts and her intense journey to fame... [It] will focus on Amy’s extraordinary genius, creativity and honesty that infused everything she did.
In a statement released to the press, the director shared how her"connection to Amy" began while spending time in the London borough of Camden after college."I got a job at the legendary KOKO CLUB, and I can still breathe every market stall, vintage shop and street... A few years later Amy wrote her searingly honest songs whilst living in Camden. Like with me, it became part of her DNA," Taylor-Johnson shared.
She continued by saying,"As a filmmaker you can’t really ask for more. I feel excited and humbled to have this opportunity to realize 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.
