The film is directed by [[Reinaldo Marcus Green]], who co-wrote the screenplay with [[Terence Winter]], [[Frank E. Flowers]], and [[Zach Baylin]]. It also stars [[Lashana Lynch]] as [[Rita Marley]], and [[James Norton (actor)|James Norton]] as [[Chris Blackwell]]. ''Bob Marley: One Love'' premiered at the [[Carib Theatre|Carib 5]] in [[Kingston, Jamaica]] on January 23, 2024, and was released in the United States by [[Paramount Pictures]] on February 14, 2024. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $179 million worldwide. ==Plot== In 1976, amidst armed [[Jamaican political conflict|political conflict]] that is affecting daily life in Jamaica, [[Bob Marley]] announces he will perform at [[Smile Jamaica Concert|a concert, Smile Jamaica]], promoting peace amongst the warring factions. While preparing for the concert, Marley, his wife [[Rita Marley|Rita]], and several other members of [[Bob Marley and the Wailers|his band]] are [[Attempted assassination of Bob Marley|shot by assailants]]. Rita and Marley are hospitalized, but survive and recover from their injuries in time for the concert. After performing, Marley, saddened that his own countrymen would try to kill him and his wife, shows the crowd his bullet wounds before walking off stage. He tells Rita to take their children to Delaware in the United States and stay with his mom, as he and the rest of his band venture to London. After struggling to come up with a new album concept, Marley asks Rita to rejoin him and the band in England, and taking inspiration from the [[Exodus (soundtrack)|soundtrack]] of the film ''[[Exodus (1960 film)|Exodus]]'' and their own situation, he and the band begin recording what would become their [[Exodus (Bob Marley and the Wailers album)|album of the same name]]. The album becomes a hit and helps further popularize [[reggae music]] and the [[Rastafari movement]] around the world. When the recording company schedules a tour in Europe, Marley also aims for stops throughout Africa to inspire the people there. This leads to friction with Rita as she and Marley argue about his responsibilities and both his and Rita's infidelities, in addition to having given up on promoting peace back in Jamaica. Marley also gets into an altercation with manager Don Taylor over a financial dispute. After a toenail infection raises concern from Rita and his record producer [[Chris Blackwell]], Marley is later diagnosed with [[acral lentiginous melanoma|a rare skin cancer]]. Blackwell confronts Marley about treatment choices, reluctantly dismissed by a firm Marley. Faced with his own mortality, Marley reconciles with Rita and Taylor and finally decides to return to Jamaica in 1978, where he is welcomed back by a crowd at the airport. Back home, the gunman who had shot him and the others arrives and begs for forgiveness, to which Marley states he "keeps no vengeance". After Marley debuts a [[Redemption Song|song]] to Rita and the children about reconciliation, she finally deems him ready to perform a peace concert. The film ends as Marley and his band gear up to perform again for the Jamaican crowd with the song "[[One Love (Bob Marley and the Wailers song)|One Love]]". A pre-credits montage shows clips of the real Marley and his band during [[One Love Peace Concert|the One Love Peace Concert]], which sees them joined on-stage by the heads of both of Jamaica's political parties, also revealing that Marley and his band were able to perform in [[Zimbabwe]] to celebrate the nation's independence before he died of his cancer in 1981 at the age of 36. ==Cast== {{castlist| * [[Kingsley Ben-Adir]] as [[Bob Marley]]<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Vlessing |first=Etan |date=2023-12-05 |title=Kingsley Ben-Adir Plays Defiant Bob Marley in Latest 'One Love' Biopic Trailer |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/kingsley-ben-adir-bob-marley-one-love-trailer-1235712571/ |access-date=2023-12-06 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}}</ref> ** Quan-Dajai Henriques as teenage Bob ** Nolan Collignon as young Bob * [[Lashana Lynch]] as [[Rita Marley]]<ref name=":1" /> ** Nia Ashi as teenage Rita * [[James Norton (actor)|James Norton]] as [[Chris Blackwell]]<ref name=":1" /> * [[Tosin Cole]] as [[Tyrone Downie]] * [[Aston Barrett Jr.]] as [[Aston "Family Man" Barrett]] * [[Anthony Welsh]] as Don Taylor * Hector Roots Lewis as [[Carlton Barrett|Carlton Carly Barrett]]<ref name="Armstrong"/> * Alexx A-Game as [[Peter Tosh]] ** Narado Williams as teenage Peter * Abijah "Naki Wailer" Livingston as [[Bunny Wailer]] ** Courtney Edwards as teenage Bunny * Stefan A.D Wade as [[Seeco Patterson]] ** Matthew Malcolm Blake as young Seeco * [[Sevana]] as [[Judy Mowatt]]<ref name="Armstrong">{{Cite web |last=Armstrong |first=Sam |date=2023-12-05 |title='Bob Marley: One Love': Everything We Know About The Biopic |url=https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/bob-marley-one-love-everything-we-know-about-the-biopic/ |access-date=2023-12-16 |website=uDiscover Music |language=en-US}}</ref> * [[Michael Gandolfini]] as [[Howard Bloom]] * [[Nadine Marshall]] as [[Cedella Malcolm]] * Umi Myers as [[Cindy Breakspeare]] * Gawaine "J-Summa" Campbell as Antonio "Gillie" Gilbert * Naomi Cowan as [[Marcia Griffiths]] * David Kerr as [[Junior Marvin]] * Sheldon Sheperd as [[Neville Garrick]] * Andrae Simpson as [[Donald Kinsey]] * Jeff Crossley as [[Coxsone Dodd|Clement "Coxsone" Dodd]] * [[Sundra Oakley]] as Diane Jobson }} ==Production== ===Development=== In June 2018, it was announced that [[Paramount Pictures]] was developing a biographical drama film based on the life of singer and songwriter [[Bob Marley]], with Marley's son [[Ziggy Marley]] serving as a producer.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Jr |first1=Anita Busch,Mike Fleming |last2=Busch |first2=Anita |last3=Jr |first3=Mike Fleming |title=Ziggy Marley Jammin' At Paramount With Biopic Based His Dad, Reggae Legend Bob Marley |url=https://deadline.com/2018/06/ziggy-marley-biopic-bob-marley-paramount-1202404203/ |website=Deadline |date=6 June 2018}}</ref> In March 2021, [[Reinaldo Marcus Green]] had been hired to direct, with [[Zach Baylin]] (who wrote Green's 2021 film ''[[King Richard (film)|King Richard]]''), [[Frank E.
