Marisa Abela Films Amy Winehouse Biopic Alongside Lesley Manville

Marisa Abela gets into character to play Amy Winehouse on the set of Back to Black on Wednesday (February 22) in London, England.

The 26-year-old actress filmed a scene alongside Lesley Manville, who is portraying Amy‘s maternal grandmother in the film. The cast also features Jack O’Connell as Amy‘s husband Blake Fielder-Civil and Eddie Marsan as Amy‘s father. Sam Taylor-Johnson, who you may recognize as the director of Nowhere Boy (2009), Fifty Shades of Grey (2015), and more, is directing. Sam is also married to actor Aaron Taylor Johnson!

The first look at Marisa as Amy was released last month. Amy tragically passed away at the age of 27 back in 2011. Her cause of death was released a short time later. Our continued condolences to her family and loved ones.
