Although I do feel Kingsley Ben-Adir should have already been a huge star after playing Malcolm X in One Night In Miami, I do believe Kingsley playing Bob Marley will definitely make him a star. I can see him getting a Best Actor Oscar Nomination next year for the film

His role as Malcolm X was part of an ensemble.

I don't know much about Bob Marley, but this trailer has me intrigued. Kingsley looks great as Bob. I will probably check this out when it's released.

Hopefully this film has a soundscape that goes far deeper into Marley's music (and politics/religion) than that 1984 _'Legends'_ compilation: *_"Despite its generally positive reception, Legend has been criticized for being a deliberately inoffensive selection of Marley's less political music, shorn of any radicalism that might damage sales. In 2014 in the Phoenix New Times, David Accomazzo wrote "Dave Robinson, who constructed the tracklist for Legend, [said that] the tracklist for Legend deliberately was designed to appeal to white audiences. Island Records had viewed Marley as a political revolutionary, and Robinson saw this perspective as damaging to Marley's bottom line. So he constructed a greatest-hits album that showed just one face of the Marley prism, the side he deemed most sellable to the suburbs. [...] If you're looking for mass-market appeal to secular-progressive America, you don't include songs that invoke collective guilt over the slave trade, nor do you address the inconvenient truth that the bucolic Jamaican lifestyle of reggae, sandy beaches, and marijuana embraced by millions of college freshmen, exists only because of the brutal slave trade. [...] the songs on Legend offer just a brief glimpse into his music. The definitive album of the most important reggae singer of all time is a hodgepodge collection of love songs, feel-good sentiment, and mere hints of the fiery activist whose politics drew bullets in the '70s." Vivien Goldman wrote in 2015, "when he does get played on the radio now, it's the mellow songs, not the angry songs, that get heard - the ones that have been compiled on albums such as Legend."_* _At the very least,_ this Marley film should be as _decent_ , scope filled, insightful, and aspiring as the 2008/2009, Soderbergh directed, 'Che' films...and at some point in "One Love", hopefully the Kingsley Ben-Adir version of Robert Nesta Marley obtains & maintains a very rich sun tan!!! ☀️😁

Was definitely skeptical before the trailer started but it absolutely won me over. Hope this is something special.

As a Jamaican, they definitely got the mannerisms and more importantly the accent was pretty good. Ironically I've never liked Reggae but I know of the man and his legacy. Trailer looks good, hopefully the movie is as well.

Thanks, John. You have been the only single KZread personality with a large following who has reacted to this trailer.

Love your perspective as always.

Looks phenomenal

So he's doing Chadwick Boseman doing biopic and I'm Okay with that. He did good job playing Malcolm X. Like how Bob Marley had influence on Stevie Wonder song "Boogie on Reggae Woman" on Hotter than July album.

I really enjoy Marley’s music, but I don’t know him as well as I should. The trailer looks brilliant and I hope it can pull off the things it’s tryin to, including hopefully, a lot of what Marley himself espoused.

*"Bunny Wailer"* is prominently featured throughout the documentary, yet Bunny was not comfortable with aspects of the final product that Kevin Macdonald directed and Charles Steele produced. *_“Rastafari was what Robert Marley sang about all his life. Rasta music is the legacy he has left us. When I looked, I did not see an emphasis on Rasta - our faith, His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie and the influence these had on the man Robert Marley. I was not pleased with that.”_* Neville O'Riley Livingston *_(Bunny Wailer)_* Still, the 2012 documentary is loaded with all types of gems, footage, interviews, insights, information...It has richness to it, and you'll certainly learn something more about Robert's life/legacy.

Chomping at the bit, like the rest of the world.. most of it anyway, as a Jamaican most of us were worried about the accent, the look was easy with makeup, wigs, etc.. but the authentic "Patwah" & speech patterns.. that's killer. To which I personally think they did a good job.. we Jamaicans hear our native dialect different it seems than everyone else, and he got it. So kudos there.
