High Times for Scorsese: after Dylan, The Stones, it’s now time for Marley

I’ve mentioned it before – Marty Scorsese is passionate about music
as he is with film. The two seem to merge well under his guise and
hence the reason why he has been entrusted with the heavy task of
documenting the legacy of the reggae icon and Rastafarian singer that
exited this planet way too early.

The director has according to Variety signed up with Shangri-La Entertainment and international sales agent Fortissimo Films – the same pair that have worked on his Berlin Film Festival opener Shine a Light.

The Untitled Martin Scorsese Bob Marley
documentary will most certainly shove aside Untitled Martin Scorsese George Harrison
documentary and for that matter, a ton of other projects (see complete listings here) since it is pegged for a Feb. 6, 2010, on what would have been Marley’s 65th birthday.
