We are getting our first look at the upcoming Bob Marley biopic, “Bob Marley: One Love”. The film is directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and is starring Kingsley Ben-Adir in the lead role. The film takes place after the 1976 assassination attempt on Marley as he is getting ready to return to Jamaica for the One Love Peace Concert.

Biopics about legendary musicians usually do very well. They reveal many stories about the people behind the movies and struggles that we weren’t aware of. All wrapped around nostalgic soundtracks that can also remind us about moments in our lives.

In anticipation of the release of the trailer for “Bob Marley: One Love”, Ziggy Marley released a statement via his Instagram account.

Nothing happens before it’s time and now is the time for the story of our father Bob Marley to be represented in a biopic theatrical release coming in 2024. You’ve heard the music and you think you know the man but do you really understand what he went through and what moments shaped him into the person he became. Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and starring Kingsley Ben Adir as Bob with Lashana Lynch as his wife Rita this film will bring you to witness for the first time what it was like to be around the legend, to see his pain his sorrows his joys, and his redemption.

Filmed in England and Jamaica the cast and crew represents one of the most unique creation to ever come out of a Hollywood studio. Authenticity fills the screen with numerous Jamaican actors doing us proud in representing the culture. Filmed at the actual places where Bob walked, played football, and sang like Trench Town and Bull Bay in Kingston, it is an artistic creation that we are proud of and want you to enjoy to be entertained but also to be inspired. The family produced it with Paramount Studio and for us, it represents the continuation of Bob’s message and growth. 

With this release we look forward to inspiring not only the long-time fans but also the younger generation, giving them a vehicle that opens the door to explore Bob’s life and music and in so doing expand his universal message of unification, justice, and peace throughout the earth. We do this with purpose and are delighted to share with you the trailer for Bob Marley: One Love the Movie. RASTAFARI
