Marley’s widow Rita and two of his children, Ziggy and Cedella, will serve as producers of the film along with Robert Teitel. Ziggy spoke with Deadline about the upcoming film about his father, stating, “I am very excited to be hands-on in working to dive deeper into sharing the legacy of who our father Bob Marley is. It’s an incredible responsibility that we take on with Reinaldo and the team at Paramount to tell the story of our father in a way that truly honors him and will also entertain, enlighten, uplift and inspire his fans and audiences around the world. It’s like opening a window that has never been open before.”
