Bob Marley Filmmakers Waiting In Vain For Music Rights

Just days after informing the Weinstein Co. that music rights would not be available for the film adaptation of Rita Marley's book "No woman No Cry," the Marley family has let the world know about its longstanding policy against certain licensing. Have actor appear as Robert Nesta Marley, no music.
Their statement:   
"The family of Bob Marley have had a long-standing policy not to license his music for any film or television production whereby there is an actor portraying Bob Marley. Due to this policy, the family will not issue, and have not issued, any licenses for his music to be included in any such film. There have been several requests over the years from different companies and individuals to license Bob Marley music for different projects and all of them have been declined, including the proposed Weinstein production of Rita Marley's book 'No Woman No Cry.'"
Ziggy Marley offered his two cents: "All our efforts and support are currently directed towards the documentary that we are working on with Shangri La, directed by Martin Scorsese. We believe that this project is the best way to represent our father's life from his perspective and any other film project pertaining to our father will be empty without his music to support it."
