The trailer for Back To Black arrived back in January, and the film has been approved by Winehouse’s estate.

Recently, Mark Ronson – a close friend and producer for the late singer – opened up about his thoughts on the film, admitting that he had read its script.

“The only thing I know about the film is I know Sam quite well, and I read the script and I feel what it did really nicely was… I was reminded of [Winehouse’s] humour and it really caught that well,” he said. “I think she just had this whip-smart razor sense of humour which is one of her many gifts and they got that very nice in the film. I’m looking forward to seeing it.”

Yesterday (March 19), it was announced that NME Screens is back and will be showing an exclusive advanced screening of Back to Black at Everyman King’s Cross in London on Tuesday, April 9. Visit here for more information, including details on how to get tickets.
