The first trailer for Bob Marley biopic 'One Love' has dropped
The first trailer for the new Bob Marley biopic, Bob Marley: One Love has released.
Set for release in January 2024, the film, produced by the reggae legend’s son Ziggy Marley, his daughter Cedella and widow Rita, follows Marley in the period after a 1976 assassination attempt up to the point of his tragic demise in 1981.
Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green - best known for his 2021 biopic starring Will Smith as the father of tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams in King Richard - the film stars Kingsley Ben-Adir (Peaky Blinders) as the lead actor with Lashana Lynch (Captain Marvel) as Rita Marley whom the musician married in 1966.
Marley’s son Ziggy introduced a teaser at CinemaCon in Las Vegas earlier this year honouring his late father. He shared a statement on Instagram, raving about the production: “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,” he writes. “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 Paramount Pictures film is scheduled for release on January 12th, 2024. Watch the new trailer below.
