One of the most famous singers in the world, Bob Marley, faced his own unique struggles during his time, but many are unaware of the magnitude of his impact on the music industry. To shed light on his remarkable journey, a movie titled ‘Bob Marley: One Love’ is being made.
The trailer for ‘Bob Marley: One Love’ has been released, showcasing a story of love, music, and struggle. Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, known for his work on “King Richard,” the biopic delves into the life and challenges of Jamaican singer Bob Marley, including the infamous attack on Rita Marley (Bob Marley’s wife), the Wailers, Bob’s residence, and his personal life, which occurred in December 1976. The trailer also highlights his rise to becoming a global music sensation and his teachings on love and peace.
As the trailer unfolds, audiences are transported into Bob Marley’s world. After watching the trailer, netizens expressed their excitement and even hailed it as a potential blockbuster. However, some users expressed disappointment that a Jamaican actor was not chosen for the role.
Here’s a mix of reactions from viewers:
“Already movie of the year… The greatest artist of all time… thank you Tuff Gong for making this,” one user wrote.
“So they couldn’t find an actor with an authentic Jamaican accent? This guy is not believable. Definitely looks like he’s ‘acting’ and not embodying the spirit of Bob,” another user commented.
“Hollywood couldn’t find a Jamaican to cast? Or even one of Bob’s living family members? One of his sons was already in a movie, come on. The only way I’m okay with this is if the Marley estate has a hand in this,” emphasized a user.
“I loved Bob Marley. The first time I heard him sing was when my girlfriend and I volunteered at the Red Cross to organize a blood drive. She brought her boombox along with a couple of cassettes, and
suddenly she inserted one, and there was the famous song ‘Everything is going to be alright.’,” wrote a user, reminiscing about their personal connection to Bob Marley’s music.
The movie is slated to release in 2024.
