00:00 "Amy Winehouse!"
00:01 We're getting the first teaser for the hotly anticipated music biopic on the late Amy
00:08 Winehouse. Up and coming British actress Marissa Abella plays Winehouse in the feature "Back to
00:13 Black" from director Sam Taylor Johnson. "Back to Black" focuses on Winehouse's early years,
00:18 living in London, her rise to fame, and the recording of her groundbreaking studio album,
00:23 "Back to Black." The biopic was made with the full support of the Amy Winehouse estate,
00:31 Universal Music Group, and Sony Music Publishing, and will feature many of Winehouse's hit songs.
00:36 In addition to the title track, the multi-Grammy-winning British soul sensation
00:41 charted with such tracks as "Rehab," "Valerie," and "Love Is a Losing Game."
00:50 In her short career, Winehouse sold more than 30 million records worldwide.
00:54 While she enjoyed success, Winehouse also struggled with addiction and intrusive media
00:59 attention. She died on July 23, 2011, at the age of 27 of what was ruled to be an
01:05 accidental alcohol overdose. "Back to Black" bows in the UK and Ireland on April 12,
01:10 and Focus Features will release the film in the U.S. on May 10.
