The 37-year-old star is reportedly attached to star in a biopic of the 'Back to Black' hitmaker - who tragically died of alcohol poisoning in 2011 at the age of just 27.

But Noomi said unless the components of the project are totally right she will not accept the role.

"If I do it, all the components needs to be right. That's not a movie I can compromise with. She's been a big part of my life; at crucial moments, she was like an angel when I wasn't in a good place.

"I have a painting in my house that's four metres long that this Swedish artist did for me. It has ravens and the lyrics of 'Back to Black'. When I left Sweden after my divorce, that was what I brought with me. So the film needs to be close my heart and done the right way. And if not, it won't be me doing it. It's too precious to gamble with," Noomi said.

The biopic about Amy is based on a script written by 'August Rush' director Kirsten Sheridan.
