Rita Marley Wants Lauryn Hill For Upcoming Biopic
A Hollywood studio has purchased film rights to the autobiography of Rita Marley, the widow of reggae legend Bob Marley.
Rita Marley is executive producing the as-yet-untitled adaptation of her 2004 autobiography “No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley,” a chronicle of the musician’s childhood and their tumultuous 15-year marriage through his death from cancer in 1981.
While no casting decisions have been made, Rita Marley has already expressed an interest in the Fugees’ Lauryn Hill to portray her. “Lauryn would be ideal,” said Marley. “She sees my life as her life.” Hill is married to Bob Marley’s son from another relationship, Rohan. Rita also lobbied for her grandson Stefan to play Bob Marley because he’s a “spitting image.” The film is being touted as an “epic romance,” and will include the assassination attempt on Bob Marley’s life that resulted in Rita being shot in the head.

I vote maybe. Listen, I want L-Boogie to come back and murk these worthless industry hoes just as much as the next person but she has bigger fish to fry at this point in her life, no? Two words: island dick.
It would hurt me to have to blog about all the chaos she is causing on the movie’s set in the future but you know I will do it. Ms. Hill needs a come to Jesus intervention first, then we will talk.
