Lady Gaga to play Amy Winehouse in Hollywood film, sources say
Within days of the death of Amy Winehouse there were already rumors of plans for a film of her life. Now it seems the rumors may be gaining ground; Reports suggest Lady Gaga is in talks to assume the role of the London-born singer in a major Hollywood film.
“Lady Gaga worshiped Amy and would love nothing more than to transform herself into her idol on the big screen,” a Hollywood insider tells reporters. “She’d be spot on performing Amy’s songs and has the right look and bolshy attitude.”
The name of the studio is not currently known but they are said to be eager to cash in on the global outpouring of grief and affection that emerged when the news broke on July 23.
And Lady Gaga is also enthused by the prospect;
“Gaga’s been itching to make the transition from music into movies and sees this as the ideal role to launch her film career,” added the source.
The 25-year old chanteuse has been inundated with film offers since completing her ‘Monster Ball’ tour, but she is now thought to be solely focused on the chance to bring Amy’s life to the screen;
“Gaga’s management had been discussing film ventures before Amy’s death, but there’s only ever been one role she wanted and that’s to play Amy.”
And this is confirmed by her own views a few days after Amy was lost;
“I am just so devastated and so sad. I really could not speak for 48 hours straight, I was in such shock,” she told reporters. “She was the most lovely and nice and kind woman.”

Lady GAGA please go away! NO MOVIE PLEASE. Amy hid nothing from the public, her life was an open book for all to witness if they wanted. There is nothing a movie can reveal.
Amy the great!! Our very own Sinatra. Ella. Holiday, Elvis.
I’m sure the movie would ASLO spend a little tiny bit of time on her rise to fame, influence on music, her tumultuous relationships… oh why am a bothering.
don’t get me wrong, we all need another Modonna in music, but her obsession with Amy Winehouse’s death, and now word that she might play her in a movie, is creepy and vulture like.
No no no no no no. I don’t want to associate Amy Winehouse with Lady Gaga at all. Lady Gaga just seems like every other superficial pop star trying too hard to be different. Even her personality fits the generic mold. Amy Winehouse had soul that came straight from the early Jazz era. You could tell in her music and in her interviews. Until the drugs started taking it away of course.
I’m not saying that Lady Gaga or her music is bad, she’s just different and they shouldn’t Ever be mixed.
It’s sad that Amy Winehouse she died and how she died, but isn’t a biopic a little too gratuitous? She’s been portrayed as a loser junkie in the news, so what’s so interesting about that.
I’m sure I’ll get a lot of flack about my comments, but I think what I’m saying is valid.
Shut up person below me! Lady Gaga ain’t going away. Deal with it.
Exploitation. Makes me sick that people are ready to cash in on her now when all the while they had nothing good to say about her. I will not see it.
