First clip from new Amy Winehouse movie has fans saying same thing

The first clip from the upcoming biopic about the late, great Amy Winehouse has left many fans saying same thing.

Back to Black follows the extraordinary life of the extraordinary singer, from growing up in Camden, to her chart-topping highs and addiction-related lows.

Watch below:

It's hard to believe that it's been almost 13 years since the 'Valerie' hit-maker's death.

Winehouse was just 27 when she died of an accidental alcohol overdose.

This, of course, will be included in the film, along with her relationship and marriage to husband, Blake Fielder-Civil.

Actor Marisa Abela will star as Amy, as Skins star Jack O'Connell will play Blake, while Eddie Marsan takes on the role of Mitch Winehouse, Amy's father.

While Back to Black will be Abela's biggest role to date, many fans have already been divided over a short clip from the movie.

The snippet, which has been shared on social media, shows the English actor, 27, performing some of Amy's songs.

One person commented: "Why you would you guys not use Amy’s voice though. It’s like you want this biopic to fail."

"Imagine kids from this generation thinking this is what Amy Winehouse sounds like," a second wrote.

"This doesn’t show her talent which is the whole purpose of this movie right? Kinda disrespect."

A third person added: "They’re not using Amy’s actual voice and that’s acc killing me."

"What have they done to her, absolute insult to her legacy as one of the greatest musicians of our generation," a fourth commented.

Meanwhile, others were perfectly happy with what they saw, as another person thought: "An old soul that burned incredibly bright and snuffed out too soon. Such a sad tragic story. Tears watching this trailer. I cant wait to see it."

"I've seen the Amy doc multiple times. I'm a sucker so I'll definitely go see this. One of the greatest albums ever? " someone else said.

"Bold statements like that usually make me roll my eyes. But for me, it's very true."

"I'm going to see this. I was so sad when she passed. She was amazing her voice phenomenal I still listen to her songs," one user penned.

"You can truly see the pain Amy was in even in the trailer! Rest in peace beautiful," another wrote.

Back to Black will be released in UK cinemas on 12 April, 2024.
