Amy Winehouse: the movie star. It’s a real possibility – if the troubled singer can clean up her act.
The 25-year-old star has been sent a script by Universal Pictures, with the view to her playing a music teacher in a problem school.
They’ve even offered a coach to help improve her acting skills.
A source told The Sun: ‘The movie is a bit like Michelle Pfeiffer’s film Dangerous Minds. Playing a music teacher will allow Amy to use her singing skills.
‘Jonathan Rhys Meyers is being talked about as her co-star.
‘She has been offered an acting coach called Matt Ryan from the Royal Academy of Music Theatre Department in London.

The source added: ‘You can’t have a teacher looking like a scrawny crack addict.
