In late 2018, the family of the late Amy Winehouse announced a biopic about their daughter was in works over at Monumental Pictures – which has ties to Anne with an E, Harlots and How to Build a Girl.
Proceeds from the film will reportedly benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which works to prevent the effects of drugs and alcohol on young people, something she famously struggled with and ultimately died from alcohol poisoning.
The movie will be written by Kinky Boots’ Geoff Deane.
Eight years after the “Back to Black” singer’s death at 27, her family feel the “time was right” to now tell her story on the big screen.
