Marley and his legacy, as portrayed by “Peaky Blinders” and “The OA” star Kingsley Ben-Adir. It jumps between Marley playing to concert after concert of adoring fans as the legendary artist’s music plays in the background. As the trailer continues it takes on a darker tone as it delves into Jamaica’s civil war during the 1970s.It all comes to a head right before the One Love Peace Concert.
As someone off screen asks Marley why he’s going to return to Jamaica after there was an assassination attempt on him and his wife, Ben-Adir as Marley calmly replies, “My life is not important to me. My life is for people.”TheWrap recently spoke to Ben-Adir on the red carpet for “Marvel’s Secret Invasion,” who confirmed that the Marley family was on set “every day.”“I met Ziggy [Marley] really early on before I got the job or maybe just after I got the job. I went to LA and spent a bunch of time with him and the family,” Ben-Adir said.
“It’s a mad experience.”“Bob Marley: One Love” is directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, who directed the Oscar-nominated “King Richard,” and is written by Zach Baylin, Frank E. Flowers and Terence Winter. The film follows Marley from his rise to fame to his death in 1981.
