Mar 4 2008Weinsteins Plan Rival Marley Movie

It's like they say: when it rains dreadlocks, it pours with the thick scent of cannabis and the rhythms of the Caribbean. Following news that Martin Scorsese has plans to follow up his Rolling Stones documentary with one on Bob Marley, the Brothers Weinstein have announced their own plans for a Marley biopic based on his wife's chronicles.

"It's an amazing love story between Bob and Rita," said TWC's Michael Cole.

"This is about a girl from the ghetto and a boy from the rural areas," Marley said. "It's more than being a superstar -- we have trod the rocky roads. It's more than just a story, it's a reality."

Choose one or see them both? Who can decide? I've never been much of a fan of Marley, so I'll probably just wait until Pixar makes Reggae Rat and Dreamworks quickly follows with Kingston the Mouse, then decide between those.
