Back in early September we first heard about the BBC Two's upcoming docudrama The Girl, which chronicles director Alfred Hitchcock's obsessive relationship with his The Birds star Tippi Hedren.

Looks like we might be jammin' soon, mon. According to Deadline, another Bob Marley biopic is in the works. I've never been a huge fan of Marley but I am curious about his life. Although it sounds like a good idea there's one hiccup that could ground this plane before it ever takes off.Deadline has more:Ash’s feature will concentrate on the year Marley spent living in London in 1977.

It was the year of punk rock; in London Marley hung out with the Sex Pistols. It was also the year of his legendary Rainbow Theatre gig. Crucially, he also started an affair with Jamaican beauty queen Cindy Breakspeare, who had just been crowned Miss World. Ash...
