Kevin Macdonald to direct Bob Marely documentary
With The Eagle hitting theaters this Friday, Kevin Macdonald has announced (via Coming Soon) that he will be directing a documentary on Bob Marley as his next project, titled Marley. Macdonald has been granted permission by the Marley’s family to go through Marley’s archives and will to give a “definitive look” at his life. “I was already intrigued by the Marley story but the way in which this film is developing, as we delve through the archive materials and interview key characters in his life, has surpassed my expectations. What made Bob tick is probably unanswerable but viewers will certainly feel that they know him a little better after seeing our documentary. I am grateful to the Marley family for entrusting me with their heritage”, said about the film.
Marley is looking to be release in the third quarter of 2011.
