More Bob Marley Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese has agreed today to direct yet another music documentary – this time a biopic based on the life of Bob Marley.
The critically acclaimed director’s new film will be the first full licensed adaptation of the reggae icon’s life.
The film, scheduled for release in 2010, will follow Scorsese’s recent music documentary about The Rolling Stones’ two-night stand in New York, ‘Shine A Light’. Scorsese also previously directed ‘No Direction Home’ which focused on Bob Dylan.
Another Bob Marley biopic is currently being produced by Bob and Harvey Weinstein and takes inspiration from the memoirs of Bob Marley’s wife, Rita.
Rumours are circulating that Lauren Hill could be in line to play Rita in this Wienstein production which is being directed by Rudy Langlais.
