That Ray Charles movie brought in a lot of green. Although Charles may have known it'd be a money-maker, the green reference was completely lost on him.
That Bob Dylan movie got rave reviews all over the place. It had a bunch of taped-down girls pretending to be him, and critics went bananas. It's a simple recipe really, make a film about a musical fellow and you're sure to walk the red carpet at least once before the fall leaves fade.
Now it's Bob Marley's turn. He's about to get his own sure-fire critically acclaimed biopic made, and Hollywood is abuzz with anticipation. You could be in it – if you look a lot like head lice.
We heard the script is gonna deal mostly with what it was like to live on Bob's head. A little tiny journal was found by the guy that embalmed him, and the present script has been derived from that. It's just what we heard.
Bob Marley died when Melanoma spread to his lungs and brain at the age of 36. Now that you know the end you may think there's not much point in watching the up-coming biopic based on his widow Rita Marley's book No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley. You're probably right.
But that won't stop people from making his movie anyway. The rights to said book have been scooped up by The Weinstein Company, who we heard envision turning it into a Star Wars type saga, except the force is a doobie and Luke is portrayed by thousands of head-inhabiting insects. Rita says of the forthcoming film:
"Our lives began in a government yard in Trenchtown with hopes of reaching the world through music and through dreams. I wrote my book to tell my story—of the dreams we shared and those days we spent living and believing in our hope. I saw it and now we get to tell it through our movie."
The impending film news will no doubt upset the Banshee that sued Marley's dead body for child-feeding money a bit ago. It was Bob Marley and the Banshees wasn't it? Is that what they called themselves? Furthermore the BBC will be shocked if they make it to the end of the film and see that the king of reggae is apparently not alive and available for interviews right now.
When this movie comes to be there's only one question we think must be answered. That being – if Bob Marley was dead, then why are we pretty sure he had such a successful career playing the role of Mr. T on the A-Team from '83 – '86.
Answer that, screen guild writer.

“That being – if Bob Marley was dead, then why are we pretty sure he had such a successful career playing the role of Mr. T on the A-Team from ’83 – ’86.”
– Uh? I don’t get that.
how dare you guys write such things about the great man, you guys dont know two craps about bob, write about something you really know about , you loosers
Taj – Use periods not commas & always click spell-check. It's what Bob would have wanted.
Why is it that people fond of
calling others ‘losers’
can never spell it right?
Kind of diminishes the impact, yeah?
Retrads.
Bob would have wanted everyone to get along, despite one party being more ignorant then the other(Shawn Lindseth).
In the prophet’s own words “We should really love each other
In peace and harmony
Instead, were fussing and fighting And them workin iniquity”
I thought he just said something about shooting a sheriff, but not the Deputy???? Did a lot of dope and wore ugly hats.
The guy who said “don’t worry be happy” was a great profit too???
I mean Prrroooopphhhiittt….yeah
Hey
First of all i think you should read up a bit about what you are writing about before you write a load of shit like this. Therefore you might have gotten some facts in here.
Bob Marley was a huge influence in music, he was the third worlds first superstar, he gave over $10,000,000 to charity during his very short lifetime that started in a small shack in the middle of the jamaican country side. He made his way up from nothing to everything only to have that taken away from him by cancer.
he campaigned for black rights and equally white rights as his father was BRITISH, he performed infront of 80,000 people 3 days after being shot and when asked why he said ‘the people who are making this world worse are’nt taking days off…so how can i?’
SO HAVE SOME FUCKING RESPECT
im probably gonna get a load of shit for writing all this, write all you want.
go do something good with ur life instead of writing shit about someone u know nothing about.
