Bob Marley's story is coming to the big screen in 2024.
Kingsley Ben-Adir plays the iconic figure, with Marley's song Ziggy saying it's time for the story of his father to properly be told.
"Nothing happens before its 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" he shared in a statement.
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…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."
The film will be centered around the 1976 attempted assassination of Marley as he prepares to return to Jamaica for the 1978 One Love Peace Concert.
"we look forward to inspiring not only the long-time fans but also the younger generation," Ziggy continued.
"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."
Bob Marley: One Love is set to be released on January 12, 2024.
