Rita Marley wants her “daughter-in-law” Lauryn Hill to portray her in the upcoming Bob Marley biopic she is producing next year. Lauryn Hill is married to the son of Bob Marley and Janet Hunt, Rohan Marley, and has 5 children with him. The Weinstein Co has optioned the rights to Rita’s autobiography, “No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley” and production will begin in early 2009 and have an anticipated release date of sometime later in the year.

The movie is said to highlight the couple’s love, struggles, and controversies including Bob’s numerous extra-marital affairs, the assassination attempt on both of their lives, and claims that she mismanaged his financial affairs.
