The life of Jamaican reggae legend Bob Marley might be making it to the big screen soon, after film giant the Weinstein Company scored the rights to No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley, a book by Marley’s widow, Rita Marley.

Says Hollywood heavyweight Harvey Weinstein, “I could not be more excited about this film and about bringing audiences around the world a true look into the delicate and dynamic lives of Rita and Bob Marley. Bob Marley was a prolific individual who has influenced and impacted the world with engaging messages he expressed through his moving and socially observant music.”

The “Could You be Loved” singer survived an assasination attempt in 1976 before dying at 36-years-old from cancer.

Meanwhile The Departed director Martin Scorsese is also making a documentary about Marley’s life.
