Many music legends have had their own biopic. Such is the case of La vida en rosa, in which the painful life of Edith Piaf is appreciated, or Bohemian Rhapsody, a film in which it was possible to know more about the life of the Queen vocalist, Freddy Mercury. Now, Paramount Pictures would be planning to release an audiovisual biography of Bob Marley.
According to the Deadline medium, they would have already chosen Kingsley Ben Adir as the actor who would give life to the king of reggae. Recently, the artist played Minister Malcolm X in the Amazon Prime Video tape, One night in Miami.

What will Bob Marley biographical film be about?
According to the same media report, the director will be Reinaldo Marcus Green and the screenwriter Zach Baylin. Although the details of the plot are still unknown, it is certain that it will be about the life and career of the interpreter of “Is this love”, but we will have to wait to know if they will focus only on a particular time.
As is known, Bob Marley is quite an important figure for Jamaica; however, his musical history began with The Wailers, who played everything from R&B to reggae and ska. In addition, during that time Marley had a totally different look than what is known today.
The production could also tell about his life when he was diagnosed with cancer, which caused him an early death at the age of 36. That time is the least explored so far.
