Red carpet premiere for new Bob Marley film held on Miami Beach

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. ā€“ Miami Beach rolled out the red carpet on Thursday night for the premiere of a new movie about Bob Marley.

Based on the true story of one of the most recognizable figures on the planet, it details the Jamaican starā€™s rise to fame and his quest for ā€œOne Love.ā€

The star studded screening took place at Regal Cinema on South Beach.

Playing the iconic role of Bob Marley was Kingsley Ben-Adir.

ā€œItā€™s hard to summarize,ā€ he said when asked what it was like to play a legend. ā€œThere was a huge amount of trust.ā€

The film, which was produced in part by Marleyā€™s family, tells the story of the legend behind his music. His highs, his lows and his struggles.

For the Marley family, bringing the movie to Miami meant bringing it to a place the global super star once called home.

The film is set to be released on Valentineā€™s Day.
