‘Marisa’s a great choice for the role, even if she doesn’t look exactly like Amy,’ Mitch noted
Created by StudioCanal, Focus Features and Monumental Pictures, the highly-anticipated feature film will document Amy’s ‘vibrant years living in London in the early aughts and her intense journey to fame’. ‘A few years later Amy wrote her searingly honest songs whilst living in Camden. Like with me, it became part of her DNA. I first saw her perform at a talent show at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in Soho and it was immediately obvious she wasn’t just talent… she was genius.’
Giving their blessing, The Amy Winehouse Estate added its ‘thrilled’ to have the film in safe hands, celebrating Amy’s ‘extraordinary music legacy and showcasing her talent in the way that it deserves’.
