According to Variety, a script for the film has already begun circulating. A casting search for the on-screen Winehouse is also expected to begin soon, with Taylor-Johnson reportedly looking to find a relative newcomer to take on the role of Winehouse.

Back in 2018, Mitch Winehouse told The Sun that he believed an up-and-coming actor would eventually clinch the part of Winehouse.

“I wouldn’t mind betting it would be an unknown, young, English – London, cockney – actress who looks a bit like Amy,” he remarked.

“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.”
