Marley Trailer

I am a big fan of filmmaker Kevin MacDonald and he is back with a new documentary Marley, a picture about one of the biggest icons in music… Bob Marley.

And we have the new trailer for MacDonald’s documentary for you to take a look at:

Marley’s music and message of love and redemption are known throughout the world and his story has finally been brought to life in this definitive work by the acclaimed talent of Kevin Macdonald.

Bob Marley’s universal appeal, impact on music history and his role as a social and political prophet is both unique and unparalleled. His music and message transcend culture, language and creed and resonate around the world today as powerfully as when he was alive.

Only a handful of musicians have ever achieved such an impact and Bob Marley, though his life was far too short, stands among them.

As one of the most accomplished documentary and feature filmmakers of a new generation, Kevin Macdonald delivers the definitive work on Bob Marley, his life and a truly global influence.

Filming took place as far afield as Ghana, Japan and the UK, in addition to Bob’s beloved Jamaica and the States, and marks the first time ever that his family has authorized the use of their own private archives.

Marley is released 20th April.

The Eagle Featurette

Channing Tatum is back on the big screen next weeek as he teams up with Jamie Bell and filmmaker Kevin McDonald for The Eagle.

Marcus is a wounded Roman soldier living in Britain during the 2nd Century A. D.

Twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (Tatum) arrives from Rome to solve the mystery and restore the reputation of his father, the commander of the Ninth.

Accompanied only by his British slave Esca (Bell), Marcus sets out across Hadrian’s Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia – to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father’s memory, and retrieve the lost legion’s golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth.

The Eagle is released 23rd March. Take a look at a featurette for the movie:
