BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE: How Ziggy Marley and the People of Jamaica Blessed the Film

Director Reinaldo Marcus Green recalls the challenges of making a film about the legendary Bob Marley. One of the hardest tasks was finding the right actor to embody Marley mind, body, and soul. Rei and the producers reviewed many audition tapes and almost lost hope when Kingsley Ben-Adir entered the picture. Not only did he look like Marley, he dedicated himself to learning to sing in Bob's accent, play his songs on the guitar, and speak Patois. The production, shot in both the UK and Jamaica, was not easy between language barriers, perfecting the songs, and feeling the pressure of honoring Bob's legacy, but the support of the Marley family helped guide the film to great success.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hollywood-gold--5670584/support.
