It’s been a long while since we’ve had news of a Bob Marley biopic. Four years ago, widow Rita Marley was trying to whip up a film, which then fell into the ether until 2008, when it was a battle of the features as her biopic came back just as Martin Scorsese was looking to helm a documentary. Marty had rights to the music, Rita’s project fizzled, Marty left the other project, and that was that. No Marley on the big screen.

Now it’s time for a new reggae fight to theaters, this time from an Emmy-nominated director from the UK.Filed under: Drama, Music & Musicals, Romance
