New
York,
(ANI):
After
Martin
Scorsese,
Jonathan
Demme
has
also
pulled
out
of
Marley,
an
upcoming
documentary
about
the
life
and
music
of
Jamaican
reggae
legend
Bob
Marley,
according
to
sources.
Scorsese
dropped
out
of
the
project
last
May
citing
scheduling
conflicts,
and
Demme
was
brought
on
to
replace
him
but
now
he
is
out
of
the
film
too.
A
source
suggests
that
Demme's
exit
took
place
after
the
movie's
producer,
Bill
Clinton
pal
Steve
Bing,
saw
the
director's
first
round
of
editing
and
was
less
than
impressed.
The
documentary
has
been
authorized
by
Marley's
family,
reports
the
New
York
Post.
Marley
is
slated
for
release
on
Feb.
6
but
it
is
not
clear
whether
Demme's
departure
would
delay
that.
Marley
died
of
cancer
in
1980
but
his
face
continues
to
grace
T-shirts
sold
around
the
world,
and
he's
considered
a
prophet
to
generations
of
pot-smoking
mystics.
