I have died and gone to heaven! Martin Scorsese is in talks with Bob Marley’s family about making a feature length film about the reggae legend’s life.

Having covered the work of Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and The Band in previous documentaries, director Martin Scorsese is set to examine the life and times of reggae legend Bob Marley for his next musical project.

The Goodfellas helmer is collaborating with Marley’s family on the forthcoming feature, which Screen Daily claims will cover “the life, legacy and global impact of the influential singer-songwriter.”

Speaking of the project, son Ziggy said, “I am thrilled that the Marley family will finally have the opportunity to document our father’s legacy and are truly honoured to have Mr. Scorsese guide the journey.”
