I heard some weeks ago that it will appear a film about Bob Marley's life. I also heard that Jamie Foxx would be Bob, and later i heard that Rohan Marley would be.
I know that this probably will be only money and money, and i don't know if it will be a good film or a bad one, but does anybody know something else?

Ha Ha, yeah i heard the same thing, it's funny though cause in NO way does Jamie Fox look in any way similar to the great Bob Marley, it should definatley be one of his children or someone that can relate to him on a spiritual level.

I can't imagine anyone play bob marley. because I think you have also tell about the time for coxsone, leslie kong...and at that time marely had no dreadlocks. And the time when he was sick with cancer. Very hard to play. I don't think that someone can play it. And who's gonna play Peter Tosh and bunny wailer, Perry,???

True True, a Bald Jamie Fox wouldn't fit Bob when his dreads gone.

'twas only a rumor...Damian Marley asked Foxx if he would be interested at some function awhile back, but Foxx said he wasn't interested.

Papa Ahmz, so is there gonna be a movie ? or is the whole idea just a rumor.

I honestly don't know, the movie is probably an idea sitting on some capitalist's desk somewhere, rubbing there greedy hands together, green bills on their mind.

Lets hope it doesn't go any further than that.

What about if Terrence Howard played Bob Marley?

As far as i know this is definatley happening, heres some more info:

I Shot The Sheriff - JAMIE FOXX is set to play BOB MARLEY (READ BELOW FOR LATEST) in a new biopic focusing on the reggae icon's early life. Film-maker RACHID BOUCHAREB is set to direct the project which is the brainchild of the ONE LOVE star's widow RITA. Bouchareb says, "I've always liked the story of what made Marley the man. "I want to look at him as a child through to a young man, and how he became interested in Africa." (Sounds intersting!!)

Jamie Fox Denies Playing Marley .
Jamie Fox said he is not playing Bob Marley in up comming flim....

Academy award winning actor and award winning singer Jamie Foxx has denied recent reports that he will be playing the role of reggae icon Bob Marley in a film based on the late superstar's life.

sounds like a big hoax this Bob Marley biopic! they should invest the money for the movie in Jamaica and that would be a better tribute to this legendary person! Marleys biopic already excist, listen to his words & music, close your eyes and see the movie!
