Bob Marley Biopic A Go

Word came today that the Weinstein Company has optioned the rights to the long-awaited Bob Marley biopic that Rita Marley will be executive producing. Word is that she wants Lauryn Hill to portray her in this, but there's no confirmation on that. Look for the flick to drop sometime in 2009.

Now, years back, I remember reading (and posting about) rumors that Jamie Foxx was being tapped to play Bob. Reports now say that Bob's grandson, Stefan, might be playing Bob. Who knows.
