*A new trailer for the upcoming feature about late reggae music legend Bob Marley has dropped.

According to the press release, “Bob Marley: One Love” celebrates the life and music of an icon who inspired generations through his message of love and unity. On the big screen for the first time, discover Bob’s powerful story of overcoming adversity and the journey behind his revolutionary music. 

Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and starring Kingsley Ben-Adir, the film, per What To Watch, “celebrates the life and music of an icon who inspired generations through his message of love and unity. On the big screen for the first time, discover Bob’s powerful story of overcoming adversity and the journey behind his revolutionary music.”

“There were a lot of reservations,” Ben-Adir, 37, tells EW about his initial reluctance to play Marley. Despite having portrayed Malcolm X and Barack Obama previously, the actor remained doubtful about his ability to take on the reggae superstar.

“I was completely convinced that there’s no point in auditioning for this,”  Ben-Adir added. “I can’t sing. I can’t dance. 

“My question was if they’d been on a worldwide search and they said yes. And I said maybe they should go on another one.”

“Bob Marley: One Love” was produced with the Marley family and stars Lashana Lynch as Marley’s wife Rita. The cast also includes James Norton, Tosin Cole, Umi Myers, Anthony Welsh, Nia Ashi, Aston Barrett Jr., Anna-Sharé Blake, Gawaine “J-Summa” Campbell, Naomi Cowan, Alexx A-Game, Michael Gandolfini, Quan-Dajai Henriques, David Kerr, Hector Roots Lewis, Abijah “Naki Wailer” Livingston, Nadine Marshall, Sheldon Shepherd, Andrae Simpson, Stefan A.D Wade.

Ben-Adir performed all of the songs during filming, learning to sing and play the guitar for the role.

“Not necessarily well all of the time,” he told EW. “I butchered a lot of people’s ears for many days…Bob’s not someone you can choreograph or copy. His singing and dancing is from an internal experience, so you really have to find your own version of that for yourself.”

Ben-Adir added, “The more I dug into Bob, the more I realized that music was really everything to him. It really saved him, and he separated himself from other artists around that time.”

“Bob Marley: One Love” is in theatres on February 14, 2024. Watch the new trailer above.
