Given that a Bob Marley has been floating around Hollywood’s development pond since at least 19𝓡99, you’ve got to wonder whether Will Smith’s rhapsodising about the lege🌟ndary performer was some sort of audition for the role.

But Smith is not attached to this latest attempt to get a Marley movie up and singing – but The Weinstein Company thinks it has the best shot as it has now nabbed Rita Marley’s book No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley as the basis for a f🙈ilm. "This is about a girl from the ghetto and a boy from the rural areas," Marley told Variety. "It's more than being a superstar - we have trod the rocky roads. It's more than just a story, it's a reality."
