'I genuinely believe anyone involved in making this film should be arrested': Clip of Marisa Abela's singing in Amy Winehouse movie has BRUTAL reviews

Amy Winehouse fans have been left disgusted and aghast by a clip from a new biopic of her life as they claim the singing scenes are 'offensive' and some fans have even asked for criminal charges to be brought against the film's makers.

The controversial film, titled Back To Black will hit UK cinemas in April and stars actress Marisa Abela as the late singer-songwriter.

The film is expected to chronicle Amy's rise to pop stardom as well as her tumultuous marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil (played by Jack O'Connell).

In a new clip released by the makers of the film, Abela is seen singing as Amy and performing at London's Ronnie Scott Jazz Bar - however die hard Winehouse fans were less than impressed by the performance.

Taking to social media in the wake of the clip's release. flabbergasted fans found themselves apologising to Winehouse for the assumed sacrilege.

Reacting to the trailer, one terrified fan said: 'That teaser has got me real scared for this Amy Winehouse biopic.'

Another wept: 'Amy Winehouse baby I am SO sorry.'

Others were directly critical of Abela, stating she did not look or sound like Amy.

One said: 'Wait, this is supposed to be Amy Winehouse?'

Another agreed, writing: 'Oh lol I kept seeing that movie clip and not paying attention. I didn't realise that was supposed to be Amy Winehouse.'

One more person screamed: 'SHE PUT HER SOUL INTO THIS SONG. Amy Winehouse you deserved better!!!'

The film is due to cover Amy's relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil during the late noughties.

Blake, who was wed to the singer between 2007 and 2009, previously admitted introducing her to heroin and is seen by many of her fans as partly responsible for her death from alcohol poisoning aged just 27 in 2011.

In the trailer, Amy declares she wants to be known for more than her singing and her desperation to be a mother, before sadly dying childless.

In one emotional scene she describes Blake as 'her life and soul' before their on/off relationship inspires her to write the iconic track Back To Black.

Last year Blake said he'd have done 'almost everything differently' in their relationship as he marked what would have been Amy's 40th birthday.

Blake, who rarely gives interviews, was asked by Good Morning Britain hosts Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard what he would have done differently. He replied: 'Almost everything'.

He continued: 'Its sad but I wanted to say happy birthday to Amy. It's devastating she's not here. I think about her all the time, I thought about her this morning when I said my happy birthday to her, she was my best friend.

'If it wasn't for certain factors I think it could have been a different outcome. Everything happened very quickly for Amy. We were young.'

It comes after Amy's father Mitch Winehouse, who is played by Eddie Marsan in the movie, caused shockwaves when it was revealed he is endorsing the film, which has come under fire for 'ghoulish' depictions of the star's drug addiction and also filming her funeral.

The biopic of the star has drawn outrage from pals, with musician Neon Hitch, branding the film 'ridiculous' and 'tasteless', saying: 'I feel very strange. Can you please all let Amy rest?'

Friends voiced their fury with her father, after he allowed ghoulish scenes of Amy's drugs overdose to be filmed at her old flat. Last February, Marisa was seen with an oxygen mask as she left the property in north London.

The flat is now owned by Mitch, who also features in the scene, as Eddie was seen filming alongside Marisa and other actors playing paramedics.

At the time, Amy's friends were devastated that her father had given his permission for the flat in Camden to be used to recreate one of his daughter's darkest moments, which took place in August 2008.

It followed a 36-hour marathon drug-taking session, which ended with her checking in to the £10k-a-week Causeway Retreat rehabilitation centre on Osea Island, Essex.
