Amy Winehouse's former boyfriend rejects chance to make biopic

Amy Winehouse's former boyfriend has revealed that he had been asked to film a biopic of Winehouse's life.

Reg Traviss, who is a director, told the Sunday Mirror that he turned down the offer, because everything is still "too raw" after Winehouse's death in July.

He also suggested that a biopic, which he feels is "inevitable", may be twisted in certain ways to make it more "Hollywood".

He said: "I guess a biopic is inevitable. I have been asked but I honestly don't think I could do it. I'd be too close to it."

Traviss added: "But whoever does write and direct the film may ­exaggerate certain points to make it more 'Hollywood'."

"The family would want to be involved to make sure that it’s done justice. But right now it's all too raw."
