SCORSESE TO SHINE A LIGHT ON BOB MARLEY (VAR, SCR)
By Nancy Vialatte
Following his Rolling Stones documentary, �Shine A Light,� which just opened the Berlin Film Festival, Martin Scorsese will team with Steve Bing's Shangri-La Entertainment and international sales agent Fortissimo Films for a yet-to-be-titled documentary about legendary reggae star Bob Marley.
Tuff Gong Pictures and Shangri-La are producing the film, which has been authorized by Marley's family and set for a global release on Feb. 6, 2010, on what would have been Marley's 65th birthday.
"I am thrilled that the Marley family will finally have the opportunity to document our father's legacy and are truly honored to have Mr. Scorsese guide the journey," son Ziggy Marley said.
Scorsese�s previous musical subjects include The Band and Bob Dylan.
