Bob Marley\u2019s family hopes the new biographical movie \u2018One Love\u2019<\/em> about the superstar singer, who popularised reggae with his catchy tunes and spiritual and socially conscious lyrics, will help revive his legacy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Bob Marley: One Love\u2019<\/em> is produced by his wife Rita Marley and their children Ziggy and Cedella and executive produced by Brad Pitt. Directed by \u2018King Richard\u2019<\/em> filmmaker Reinaldo Marcus Green, it sees British actors Kingsley Ben-Adir and Lashana Lynch taking on the challenge of bringing Bob and Rita Marley to life on the screen.<\/p>\n

\u201c[It was made] mainly to spread his message more, to put his message into a different medium; film, to reach another generation,\u201d said Ziggy Marley as he attended the film\u2019s premiere in London on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOne love is something positive out there in the world. That\u2019s what it\u2019s about, the message.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marley, whose hits with The Wailers included \u2018No Woman, No Cry\u2019<\/em>, \u2018Jamming\u2019<\/em> and \u2018I Shot the Sheriff\u2019<\/em>, was born in Jamaica in 1945. He died from cancer in 1981, aged 36.<\/p>\n

The movie opens in Kingston in 1976, with Marley planning a peace concert in response to deep political divisions and violence. It sees the musician moving to London after both he and Rita survive an assassination attempt and recording the hit album \u2018Exodus\u2019<\/em>. Flashbacks offer insight into Marley\u2019s childhood and youth.<\/p>\n

Ben-Adir, who played Malcolm X in \u2018One Night in Miami\u2019<\/em> and Barack Obama in \u2018The Comey Rule\u2019<\/em>, prepared to play Marley while on the set of \u2018Barbie\u2019<\/em>, in which he appeared as one of the Kens. Mastering Marley\u2019s mannerisms and language, the Jamaican patois, was not an easy feat, the actor, 37, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of it, the language, the music, finding Bob\u2019s true vulnerability. He was a tough man and he was a gentleman. There were so many colours to him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t play music, so I had to learn everything about music. There was a lot to do and so when I was on a break, I just started in the Mojo Dojo Casa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Bob Marley: One Love\u2019<\/em> is out in cinemas globally from February 14.<\/p>\n
