Scorsese To Make Bob Marley Documentary
Having documented Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones, Martin Scorsese is now turning his attentions to Bob Marley. It even already has a release date of February 6, 2010, which would have been Marley's 65th birthday.

We're no Marley experts, but his life would seem to offer a great deal of material for a film, since there's not only his music to cover, but also his peace efforts , his religious beliefs and his untimely death.

Scorsese is building himself a nice collection of music documentaries. For his next, we'd suggest either Janice Joplin, Jimmi Hendrix or The Reynolds Girls.

Bill Hicks biopic please Martin...
The Bob Marley story would be fantastic, especially in Scorsese's hands but I cant help but feel there is more appropriate filmmakers out there for that one, Don Letts perhaps I'd really like to see Scorsese do a Bill Hicks biopic, Peter Sarsgaard as the man himself ... Read More
