In one of the films we can't wait to watch in 2024, the Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black has released an international teaser trailer.

From Nowhere Boy director Sam Taylor-Johnson and writer Matt Greenhalgh, the film stars Industry's Marisa Abela as the inimitable British singer. Back to Black follows Winehouse beginning her colossal career in London and New York in the 2000s, dealing with the press and a turbulent private life, charting her incredible rise to fame before her death in 2011.

The Crown's Lesley Manville plays Winehouse's grandmother Cynthia, with Jack O'Connell as her ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil, Eddie Marsan as her father Mitch, and Juliet Cowan as her mother Janis. And of course, Back to Black is brimming with a soundtrack of Winehouse's catalogue alongside music production by 1917 and The Power of the Dog's Nina Gold.
