Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese to add Bob Marley film to his catalogue of captivating documentaries.
Following the success of his Bob Dylan documentary ‘No Direction Home’ and the completion of his new Rolling Stones film ‘Shine a Light’, Scorsese is now turning his attentions to creating a film documenting the life of the reggae legend Bob Marley. What with Marley’s extensive music repertoire, his campaigning, his religious beliefs and his premature and tragic death, it appears there will be no shortage of material available for such a film.
The film has been authorised by Marley’s family with son Ziggy Marley saying: “I am thrilled that the Marley family will finally have the opportunity to document our father’s legacy and are truly honored to have Mr. Scorsese guide the journey”. According to Variety, the musically themed documentary is due to be released on 6th February 2010 to coincide with what would have been Marley’s 65th birthday. No title has yet been given to the production.
