Not Martin Scorsese, but Jonathan Demme will direct the documentary about Jamaican musician Bob Marley. The uncle of Ted Demme replaces Scorsese because of ’scheduling conflicts.’ He will soon join with Marley’s family to make the biographical documentary.

Time is ticking, since production company Shangri-La Entertainment already set a release date for the feature. They want it to be out on February 6, 2010, which would’ve been Bob Marley’s 65th birthday. Ziggy Marley, the son of Bob Marley, is executive producer for the movie.
