Plans for a biopic of renowned reggae musician Bob Marley have been unveiled by a British filmmaker.

According to Deadline London, Emmy-nominated director Jenny Ash is currently developing the picture, which will portray a year in the life of the Jamaican singer-songwriter.

Speaking to the movie magazine, Ash revealed the year in question would be 1977 – when Marley lived in London after fleeing from Jamaica following an attempt on his life.

“There’s never been a fiction film about Marley,” she added. “We’ve never had a sense of him as a real man, as opposed to the legend.”

However, she does not yet have the rights to his music – which includes songs such as Sun is Shining, I Shot the Sheriff, Jamming and No Woman, No Cry.
