A new biopic is on the horizon, and the one in question is Bob Marley: One Love, based off of legendary reggae singer Bob Marley.
The upcoming film pulls from all facets of Marley’s life and career. From his beginning’s in Jamacia to being a superstar, all while set to various hits of his massive discography. The film seems to particularly draw on the failed assassination attempt in 1976, leading to conflict about Marley playing an upcoming concert.
The actor set to portray the late artist is Kingsley Ben-Adir, recently featured in the MCU-based show, Secret Invasion. Reinaldo Marcus Green is helming the project, no doubt carrying over experience from previous biopic King Richard, which went on to be nominated for several Academy Awards, and even won for Best Actor in Leading Role. Among the production team, the most notable inclusion is Ziggy Marley, Bob Marley’s son, serving as a producer. He even showcased a sneak preview for the film at CinemaCon, Variety reports.
“It’s great to be here today on behalf of this movie about my father,” he said at CinemaCon. “I’m here as a producer of this film, but also as a steward of my father’s incredible legacy… this message of unity and love is as urgent as ever.”
