Why Sam Taylor-Johnson Avoided Lip-Syncing for 'Back to Black'

Amy Winehouse biopic 'Back to Black' features Marisa Abel's vocals rather than recordings of the original. Director Sam Taylor-Johnson, speaking from the film's World Premiere in London's Leicester Square, explains why she chose to feature the actor's voice as opposed to having her lip-sync vocals like other biopics have done before. Report by Jamie Burton.
