Amy’s tragic life has already been a subject of a critically acclaimed documentary from 2015, but her father, Mitch Winehouse, wasn’t the biggest fan of this flick. He described it as a missed opportunity to celebrate her life and talent, but he’ll get a chance to fix that with the upcoming biopic.

Kinky Boots screenwriter Geoff Deane will be in charge of penning the script, with Alison Owen and Debra Hayward serving as producers. All proceeds will benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which helps young people struggling with substance abuse. It’s still unclear who’ll play the late singer, but her father wouldn’t mind having a complete unknown on board as long as she’s capable of capturing Amy’s spirit.

“What we want is somebody to portray Amy in the way that she was – the funny, brilliant, charming and horrible person that she was. 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,” concluded Winehouse.

According to the press release, Amy Winehouse – Back to Black will feature “previously unseen footage of Amy” and exclusive interviews with Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, who worked on the record with Winehouse.

The documentary will also present never seen before footage from “An Evening in London,” a show which Winehouse performed for a small group of family, friends and music executives at the London’s Riverside Studios on February 10, 2008. On that same night, Winehouse won five Grammy awards.

This project comes three years after the release of Asif Kapadia’s documentary Amy, which met with universal acclaim from the critics and became a box office hit. It ended up winning numerous awards as well, including the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 88th Academy Awards and Best Music Film at the 58th Grammy Awards.
