New details have emerged about the cast of the film, which is about the life of British singer Amy Winehouse. Back to Black will be directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, who previously worked on Becoming John Lennon and Fifty Shades of Grey. Now he is preparing a project dedicated to Amy Winehouse. The film will tell about the main periods of the life and career of the singer: the hard way to fame, the tragic death that occurred at the age of 27.
Recently, the media began to actively write about various contenders for the role of Amy Winehouse – many even said that Lady Gaga could play her well. However, new details about the cast have emerged the other day. Variety reporters report that the role is likely to go to Marisa Abele.
Best known for the second season of HBO’s The Industry, the 25-year-old actress went through multiple casting stages and impressed the producers of the biopic. They were impressed not only by the similarity of Marisa Abele and Amy Winehuis, but also by their impressive vocal abilities. In addition, Marisa, like Wyhouse, is a descendant of Jewish immigrants from Russia.
Marisa comes from a family associated with the film industry. Her father, Angelo Abela, is a director, and her mother, Caroline Gruber, is an actress.
Prior to her Winehouse bio, you’ll see Marisa Abele in Barbie starring alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
