A feature film about late British singer Amy Winehouse is in the works.

Fifty Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson will lead the biopic, according to production company StudioCanal.

Titled Back to Black, the film will look at the life and music of the six-time Grammy Award winner, who died from alcohol poisoning at her north London home in July 2011. Winehouse, who struggled with drink and drug problems through much of her career, was 27 years old.

"StudioCanal is gearing up to make Back to Black. The project is advancing with Sam Taylor-Johnson attached to direct the feature film on the life and music of Amy Winehouse," StudioCanal said, adding a script had been written for the film.

"Back to Black is being made with full support from the Amy Winehouse estate."

British filmmaker Taylor-Johnson is known for directing the first Fifty Shades of Grey film, an adaptation from the hit book trilogy, drama A Million Little Pieces as well as episodes for TV's Gypsy and Solos.

Considered one of the most talented singers of her generation, with hits including Rehab and Back to Black, Winehouse's untimely death shook the music world.

Several documentaries about her have been made, the most recent was narrated by her mother Janis and aired on the BBC in 2021 to mark the 10th anniversary of her death.

The film, Amy Winehouse: 10 Years On, was a result of Janis's desire to tell her daughter's story before multiple sclerosis strips her of her memories.

Documentary Amy (2015) won director Asif Kapadia an Oscar, although at the time the singer’s father Mitch Winehouse called it misleading and said the family had disassociated itself from the film.

Industry publication Deadline said the search for the actress portraying Winehouse in the film would start in coming weeks.

What is the FNC?

The Federal National Council is one of five federal authorities established by the UAE constitution. It held its first session on December 2, 1972, a year to the day after Federation.
It has 40 members, eight of whom are women. The members represent the UAE population through each of the emirates. Abu Dhabi and Dubai have eight members each, Sharjah and Ras al Khaimah six, and Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain have four.
They bring Emirati issues to the council for debate and put those concerns to ministers summoned for questioning. 
The FNC’s main functions include passing, amending or rejecting federal draft laws, discussing international treaties and agreements, and offering recommendations on general subjects raised during sessions.
Federal draft laws must first pass through the FNC for recommendations when members can amend the laws to suit the needs of citizens. The draft laws are then forwarded to the Cabinet for consideration and approval. 
Since 2006, half of the members have been elected by UAE citizens to serve four-year terms and the other half are appointed by the Ruler’s Courts of the seven emirates.
In the 2015 elections, 78 of the 252 candidates were women. Women also represented 48 per cent of all voters and 67 per cent of the voters were under the age of 40.
