"New Bob Marley biopic ‘One Love’ gets his family’s stamp of approval" (in theaters February 14)

From the New York Post, January 29:

It’s a ‘One Love’ jam session

The late Bob Marley’s love letter — Jamaican songfest “Bob Marley: One Love” — unspools Valentine’s Day starring Brit actor Kingsley Ben-Adir.

Kingsley: “You take a role and you go to work. Bob was not simple. I wanted to understand his huge backstory. The love his family put into this is a communal thing.”

Bob’s granddaughter Zuri: “It’s about peace, love, rebellion and revolution. The world needs all that.”

Son Ziggy: “This respects Jamaican culture. And explores Bob’s humorous, fearful and spiritual side. Valentine’s Day of love is an appropriate time.”

In theaters Feb. 14.

Bring brownies. What’s in them is up to you....

....MORE, just not Marley. There's a picture of the writer wearing a tiara made of bagels, among other things. 

Here's a cover of One Love that we used in 2010's "One World, One Grid, One Standard (One Love)" and 2018's "One Euro, One Europe (One Love)".
