Flowers, and Terence Winter writing the screenplay.[4][5] In February 2022, Kingsley Ben-Adir was cast as the titular character, after an extensive, yearlong and globe-spanning search by the studio.[6] In August, Lashana Lynch had joined the cast playing as Bob's wife Rita Marley.[7] In February 2023, Michael Gandolfini, Nadine Marshall, James Norton, and Anthony Welsh had joined the cast in undisclosed roles.[8]

Principal photography began in December 2022 in London[9][10] and wrapped in April 2023.[11][12] The film's title, Bob Marley: One Love, was announced by producer Ziggy Marley at CinemaCon that same month.[12][13]

Music

In October 2023, it was reported that Kris Bowers had composed the film's score, after working with Green on Monsters and Men (2018) and King Richard.[14]
