Bob Marley is a beloved cultural icon whose musical contributions have been appreciated for decades after his death in 1981. After years of unofficial biographies, documentaries, and other loose narratives, Marley's family has produced a biopic of the late singer, and the trailer has finally hit the internet.
The film, titled Bob Marley: One Love, stars Kinglsey Ben-Adir, who is widely known for his role as Malcolm X in Regina King’s One Night In Miami, as Marley himself, and Lashana Lynch, who starred in The Woman King, as Marley's wife Rita. Paramount Pictures have worked alongside Rita, Ziggy Marley (Bob's son) and a host of other loved ones to bring Marley’s story to life on the big screen. The film was filmed in England and Jamaica, making it one of the first of its kind to include mostly Jamaican actors and crew members.
Director Reinaldo Marcus Green shared with Shadow and Act that his approach to taking on such an important life story was to have the courage to "take the shot". He was honored to receive the blessing of the Marley family to lead the production of the film.
Ziggy Marley made it clear that no part of his father's story was off limits. He and the team wanted to make sure the film was real, raw, and un-sugarcoated. He said he hopes that viewers will be surprised by what they see in the film and learn new things about Bob Marley.
