According to The Sun, Amy Winehouse’s estate have signed a deal with Monumental pictures to tell the story of the late singer’s life. The film will start shooting next year and is expected to cover her rise to fame and her death in 2011 from an overdose at the age of 27.
“What we want is somebody to portray Amy in the way that she was… the funny, brilliant, charming and horrible person that she was,” the singer’s father, Mitch Winehouse, told The Sun. “There’s no point really me making the film because I’m her dad. But to get the right people to do it, that’s very important, and we will.”
