A new documentary film about the life of Amy Winehouse is set to hit cinema screens from 3 July 2015. 

The new movie, simply entitled 'Amy', has been directed by the BAFTA-winning Asif Capadia - who made Senna. Amy will also feature "extensive unseen archive footage and previously unheard tracks".

Amy has been described as a "strikingly modern, moving and vital film shines a light on the world we live in, in a way that very few can."

A spokesman continued: "A once-in-a-generation talent and a pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense, Amy wrote and sung from the heart using her musical gifts to analyse her own problems. The combination of her raw honesty and supreme talent resulted in some of the most original and adored songs of the modern era.

"Her huge success, however, resulted in relentless and invasive media attention which coupled with Amy’s troubled relationships and precarious lifestyle saw her life tragically begin to unravel."

This comes in the wake of father Mitch Winehouse saying that there would be no posthumous albums from the star as there was 'no new music'. He also recently unveiled a statue of the star in Camden, before friend and Libertine Pete Doherty released tribute track 'Flags Of The Old Regime'

Amy Winehouse died aged 27 in 2011 of alcohol poisoning.
