The biopic treatment previously given to Elvis, Freddie Mercury, and Elton John will now finally be given to Bob Marley.
Bob Marley: One Love is expected to hit theatres on January 12, 2024.
The movie, which was directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green (“King Richard”), was shot in Jamaica and England, including places in Kingston like Trench Town, where the Wailers got their start. The documentary explores Bob Marley’s life, including the assault on his house and recording studio in December 1976 that claimed the lives of him, Rita Marley, and the Wailers.
What is known about the Bob Marley biopic is listed below.
Who performs Bob Marley?
Kingsley Ben-Adir, who portrays the Skrull villain in the recently released Disney+ series “Marvel’s Secret Invasion,” plays the reggae superstar in the film.
Ben-Adir has previously portrayed famous people, such as Malcolm X in “One Night in Miami” and Barack Obama in the Showtime miniseries “The Comey Rule.”
Lashana Lynch (“The Woman King,” “No Time to Die”) co-stars as wife Rita in the film “Bob Marley: One Love.”
Ziggy Marley, the son of Bob and Rita Marley and a co-producer of the movie, stated in a press release, “The cast and crew, which includes many Jamaican actors, deliver a unique cinematic experience that captures the essence of the legend’s spirit.”
Aston Barrett Jr., the bassist for the Wailers whose father Aston “Family Man” Barrett passed away in 2019, is one of them. The younger Barrett will portray his father in the movie and carries on his father’s drumming and leadership traditions for the Wailers, who are presently on tour.
Ziggy Marley said on Instagram that “nothing happens before it’s time” and that “the time is now for the story of our father Bob Marley to be represented in a biopic theatrical release coming in 2024.” You’ve listened to the music and believe you know the guy, but are you truly aware of the experiences that moulded him into the person he is today? … You will get to experience what it was like to be around the legend for the first time thanks to this movie, including his suffering, grief, joy, and redemption.
Rita Marley and her daughter Cedella Marley, Brad Pitt, Robert Teitel (from “Notorious,” “Barbershop”), Jeremy Kleiner (from “Moonlight”), and Dede Gardner (from “If Beale Street Could Talk”) are all contributing to the production. Ziggy Marley’s wife, Orly, Richard Hewitt (“Bohemian Rhapsody”), and Matt Solodky, general manager of Tuff Gong Worldwide, the company that manages Ziggy Marley’s record label, are all executive producers.

The 2012 documentary “Marley,” which is available for rent on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Google Play and is available for free with advertisements on YouTube, details the life of the music great and provides revelations that even astonished his children when the movie was being made. You may see some rare performance footage in addition to old video interviews with Marley and brand-new interviews with those who knew him.
Ziggy Marley, who at the time served as the film’s executive producer with Chris Blackwell, the founder of Island Records, remarked at the time that those who “only think of Bob as the ganja-smoking person may be more in-depth by viewing this. This is the only information about their grandpa that I want my children to know.
