Marisa Abela From “Industry” Is Reportedly In Talks To Play Amy Winehouse In Upcoming Biopic

July 29, 2022 / Posted by:

It’s hard to believe it’s been eleven years since Amy Winehouse passed away at age 27. Her life was a tumultuous barrage of insanity that mirrored her songs, yet her music has endured and will always be considered some of the best of all time. In that respect, of course, Hollywood is turning Amy’s life story into an upcoming Mitch Winehouse-approved biopic titled Back To Black, directed and co-written by Sam Taylor-Johnson.  The film is still in the developmental stages, but there are a few actresses being considered for the role. And one of them, Marisa Abela, has come out of the gate leading the pack as a frontrunner for consideration.

After Neil Patrick Harris’ 2011 Meat Platter Inspired By Amy Winehouse’s Corpse Resurfaced, He Apologized

May 17, 2022 / Posted by:

On July 23, 2011 Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning at age 27. Three months later, Neil Patrick Harris and his husband, David Burtka, threw a Halloween party. Now, there’s no good reason these two events should be connected, but, alas, they are. All because Neil and David made the extremely sensitive decision to include a buffet platter that was made to look like “The Corpse of Amy Winehouse”; complete with Amy’s trademark beehive hairdo, tattoos, and her bloodied, decomposing face.

The next day party guest Justin Mikita (husband of Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson) tweeted a photo of the Amy corpse platter, and people were pretty pissed off. But, because it was the olden days, NPH never addressed the controversy and we all moved on to bigger and better things (like Kim Kardashian filing for divorce from Kris Humphries after 72 days). Unfortunately for Neil, the image recently resurfaced and went viral. And, because it’s modern times, he was forced to finally issue an apology. Continue reading

A New Amy Winehouse Biopic Was Just Announced, But Mitch Winehouse Says It’ll Never Happen

September 1, 2021 / Posted by:

It’s been just over ten years since Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning at age 27. A fact that makes me feel equal parts old and sad. Earlier this week Halycon Studios announced that they’re working on a biopic about Amy, based on Daphne Barak’s 2010 book Saving Amy. Daphne spent six months filming and interviewing Amy in the last three years of her life. Daphne amassed over forty hours of footage, which she used to write her book. But after Halycon and Daphne made their biopic plans public, Amy’s dad, Mitch Winehouse, called up TMZ (he still has them on speed dial!) and told them there’s no way it’ll ever get made cuz it’s “100% not allowed.” Mitch says that Amy’s estate (he’s the administrator) has plans for their own biopic and they own all the rights. All of them! And they’re gonna be the ones to squeeze every penny outta honor Amy’s legacy!

Amy Winehouse’s Family Is Planning A Biopic On Her Life

October 15, 2018 / Posted by:

She may have lost out on Mary Poppins, but if you start seeing Anne Hathaway strutting around in short shorts, a beehive hairdo, and a missing front tooth, you’ll know she has her eye on a new prize. Things must be getting a little tight in the Winehouse household because just days after the late Amy Winehouse’s dad, Mitch Winehouse, revealed he is pursuing a hologram concert of her that nobody asked for, there is now going to be a biopic of her life.

Amy Winehouse’s Dad Thinks A Hologram Concert Of Her Is A Good Idea

October 12, 2018 / Posted by:

Holograms are best served on the back of elementary school trapper keepers and at CNN on election night – but nowhere else! Did “Whitney Houston”on The Voice teach us nothing?! Amy Winehouse may have passed away in 2011, but her father has tried to milk off her success ever since, which is why North Londoners have to face a statue that’s supposed to be Amy but really looks like Marge Simpson in a mini-dress on their way to work each day. Mitch Winehouse’s latest scheme is to embark “Amy” on a world tour by way of the same hologram technology used for late stars like Tupac and Roy Orbison. What could possibly go wrong?!

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Is In Talks To Play Amy Winehouse In A Biopic

November 5, 2015 / Posted by:

I’m sort of okay with it as long as they call it: The Girl With The BLAAAAAKE Tattoo.

The Amy Winehouse documentary Amy was a hit, so of course, studios are piggybacking off of its success to make that money. The Hollywood Reporter says that Kristen Sheridan, who directed August Rush, will write and direct an Amy Winehouse biopic. That’s everyone’s cue to step up to the mic, find the light and sing, “noooo nooo nooooo” in unison.  Noomi Rapace from the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo movie is in talks to play Amy. A greedy silver bear and a scab in a fedora are in talks to play Mitch Winehouse and Blaaaake Fielder-Civil, respectively.

Mitch Winehouse pissed all over the Amy documentary, because it made it him look like a cold fame whore. Mitch is apparently working on his own documentary about his daughter, thankyouverymuch. The Hollywood Reporter also says that the makers of the Amy Winehouse biopic are already talking to him about getting the rights to use her music. Mitch handles Amy’s estate.

Amy Winehouse died only 4 years ago, so this is all kinds of too soon. There are other biopics that need to be made! Where is that Janis Joplin biopic that’s been “in the works” for centuries? Where is the Jackie Collins biopic starring Joan Collins (it’s never too soon for a Jackie Collins biopic starring Joan Collins)? Where is the Celia Cruz biopic?! Where is the biopic about the thrilling life of Ubu the dog? But seriously, what’s really strange is that a legit movie about Amy Winehouse is going to be made before a Lifetime movie. Lifetime is seriously disappointing me. Where is their no-budget, inaccurate and badly acted Amy Winehouse movie starring Lindsay Lohan? I shouldn’t give Lifetime any ideas, because they may start shooting an Amy Winehouse movie soon and by “shooting” I mean they’ll slap a black beehive wig on Lindsay Lohan’s head, tell her to talk in a British accent and follow her around with a camera for a night.
