Scorsese smokes fattie, makes Marley doc

Movie director Martin Scorsese – though best known for gritty crime fare like Goodfellas, Casino and Neverending Story II (it’s true, he directed it! Look it up!) – happens to be one of the best music documentarians since Marty DiBergi. His 1978 film The Last Waltz, about Robbie Robertson’s The Band (”What’s the name of the band? The Band! Yeah, but what are they called?”), may well be the genre’s high-mark and his Rolling Stones doc Shine a Light just kicked off the Berlin Film Festival (which I believe happens in Germany someplace).

“High” off the success of the aforementioned, Scorsese announced his plans today for a documentary about legendary reggae music artist Bob Marley. The as-of-yet untitled film (my humble suggestion: “Who’s the Black Dude on That Stinky Hippie’s Tie-Die, Mom?”) re-teams Scorsese with Shine a Light producer and impregnater-of-hot-British-chicks Steve Bing, care of Bing’s Shangri-La Entertainment. Foreign pre-sales will be handled by Fortissimo Films, and a duck named Roger.

Scorsese and company have their hearts set on a Feb. 6, 2010 release date in honor of Marley’s 65th birthday. Or they could release it on April 20, because that’s, like, 4/20 dude. 4/20! Pot.

    It would be great if the Marley family got their act together and licensed the rights to Robert Nesta Marley’s music so that we could finally get to see a Bob Marley movie – I’ll take the documentary for now, but where’s the opus…
