Bob Marley celebrated on screen

Jamie Foxx is set to play Bob Marley in a new biopic focusing on the reggae icon's early life.

Film-maker Rachid Bouchareb is set to direct the project which is the brainchild of the One Love star's widow Rita.

Bouchareb says: "I've always liked the story of what made Marley the man.

"I want to look at him as a child through to a young man, and how he became interested in Africa."
