It’s time for a young Bob Marley (Quan-Dajai Henrique) to strike out on his own in an exclusive to Collider clip forBob Marley: One Love. There’s nothing his mother, Cedella (Nadine Marshall) can say to keep her baby boy from leaving their quiet life behind and striking out on his own to become a reggae musician. Worried about her child’s true intentions, Cedella hopes he isn’t making any hasty decisions just forthe love of a woman. Attempting to give Bob a dose of reality, Cedella paints a picture of the harsh world that awaits him, but Bob has already made up his mind and walks out the door.
Such a pivotal moment inthe life of the singer on which the biopic was centeredseems like an extraordinarily important thing to keep in the film, so why was it left on the cutting room floor? In short, we imagine that time played the biggest factor. TheReinaldo Marcus Green(King Richard) helmed project covered a lot of ground in just under two hours, hitting audiences with Marley’slife story in both the music industry and beyond. While we’re sure Green wanted to keep this very key part of the iconic singer’s life in his film, there was likely just not quite enough time to do so.
The point of the feature was to show that Marley had a full life off the stage and was a complicated man as well as a political activist, the latter being a role that his son,Ziggy Marley reflected on as his father’s “perfect purpose.”Playing the grown-up version of Marley in the music-filled drama isKingsley Ben-Adirwho is joined bya slew of starsincludingLashana Lynch(Captain Marvel),James Norton(Happy Valley),Sheldon Shepherd(Better Mus’ Come),Umi Meyers(Silent Witness),Michael Gandolfini(The Many Saints of Newark),Anthony Welsh(Starred Up),Nadine Marshall(The Smoking Room),Micheal Ward(Top Boy),Luca Slade(Everything Now), and more.
