Pic will also be available to stream on MGM+.

Pic comes to the platform after a strong run in theaters, which saw it set a midweek Valentine’s Day record, as well as new opening-day records for a music biopic in the UK, France and other territories, and the all-time biggest opening in Jamaica.

Kingsley Ben-Adir Plays Defiant Bob Marley in Latest ‘One Love’ Biopic Trailer
Image
Peaky Blinders actor Kingsley Ben-Adir dons dreadlocks and speaks in a Jamaican patois to play a reggae legend in the latest trailer for Bob Marley: One Love, which dropped Tuesday.

The biopic has Marley overcoming adversity, including a failed assassination attempt, to rise to musical fame with a message of love and unity in dangerous times. “There’s a war going on. How I can bring peace? I can’t even get peace for myself,” a fretting Marley says at one point in the trailer.

The movie, based on real events, recounts a failed attempt to murder Marley in his home in Kingston, Jamaica, which only drove the reggae legend to double down on his mission to unify a divided nation with revolutionary music.

Produced in partnership with the Marley family, Bob Marley: One Love also stars Lashana Lynch as Rita Marley, the wife of the music superstar. “Sometimes the...

Bob Marley: One Love trailer shows the legendary Reggae star bringing the love in the face of violence
Image
With all the drama in the world, sometimes the best way to keep from succumbing to its evil is to let the music ground you. Bob Marley’s famous tunes let the world release its tension in a different way when faced with conflict. It lets you groove to the beat of the human heart. It comforted you like a warm blanket or a caring friend or family member. Paramount Pictures has released the trailer for Bob Marley: One Love, which tells the story of the musician who dared not to let tragedy take his message and his love for the people.

The musical biopic stars Kingsley Ben-Adir, Lashana Lynch, James Norton, Tosin Cole, Umi Myers, Anthony Welsh, Nia Ashi, Aston Barrett Jr., Anna-Sharé Blake, Gawaine “J-Summa” Campbell, Naomi Cowan, Alexx A-Game, Michael Gandolfini, Quan-Dajai Henriques, David Kerr, Hector Roots Lewis, Abijah “Naki Wailer” Livingston, Nadine Marshall, Sheldon Shepherd, Andrae Simpson and Stefan A.

‘Bob Marley: One Love’ Reveals Kingsley Ben-Adir as Music Legend in Biopic Trailer
Image
Kingsley Ben-Adir portrays reggae superstar and counterculture icon Bob Marley in the first trailer for the forthcoming biopic Bob Marley: One Love.

Set for release Jan. 12, 2024, the Paramount Pictures feature centers on the life of Marley, from the early days of his career to his death in 1981. Reinaldo Marcus Green (King Richard) directs from a script by Zach Baylin, Frank E. Flowers and Terence Winter.

“Reggae is a people music,” Ben-Adir says as Marley in the trailer. “People coming together.”

Later, someone asks the singer, “Bob, they tried to kill you and your wife, and now you’re choosing to return to Jamaica to play a peace concert? Don’t you fear for your life?” As Marley explains, “My life is not important to me. My life is for people.”

Bob Marley: One Love co-stars Lashana Lynch as Rita Marley and James Norton as record producer Chris Blackwell. Other castmembers include Jesse Cilio,...

Lupita Nyong’o has bowed out of virtual interviews for her upcoming Universal pic The 355 after testing positive for Covid, Deadline has confirmed.

In the upcoming film from director Simon Kinberg—which is set for release this Friday, January 7—a wild card CIA agent joins forces with three international agents on a lethal mission to retrieve a top-secret weapon that’s fallen into mercenary hands, looking at the same time to stay a step ahead of a mysterious woman who’s tracking their every move.

The film will get a wide release in the slot previously reserved for an untitled Universal event film.

‘The 355’: Simon Kinberg Femme Action Ensemble Heads To MLK Weekend 2022
Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger, Bingbing Fan, Jessica Chastain, and Lupita Nyong'o in The 355 (2022)
Universal’s domestic release of Simon King’s directorial The 355 is jumping from its MLK 2021 weekend release to MLK weekend Jan. 14, 2022.

While Universal has committed a number of fresh wide releases during the pandemic to exhibition during Q4, i.e. Focus Features’ Come Play, Let Him Go, Blumhouse’s Freaky, Dreamworks Animation’s The Croods: A New Age and Tom Hanks’ News of the World, the studio only has domestic on this title, which they bought at Cannes back in 2018 for a reported $20M. The foreign partners, arranged through FilmNation, have a lot of say on this title and the yearning is for a more full-bodied global launch of what is hoped to be another Bourne like franchise, this one all female starring Jessica Chastain, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong’o, Penelope Cruz, Fan Bingbing, Édgar Ramirez and Sebastian Stan.

On MLK 2022, 355 will face off against Warner Bros./MGM’s Sesame Street movie,...

Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger, Bingbing Fan, Jessica Chastain, and Lupita Nyong'o in The 355 (2022)
“The 355,” the female-fronted spy film starring Jessica Chastain and Lupita Nyong’o, has been pushed back a full year by Universal from January 2021 to now open on Jan. 14, 2022.

“X-Men” filmmaker Simon Kinberg directs “The 355,” which also stars Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger, Bingbing Fan, Edgar Ramirez and Sebastian Stan. It will now take the place Universal had previously marked off for an untitled event film on the same day on the release slate.

“The 355” would not be the first film to move out of Q1 of 2021 as questions around when theaters can reopen still remain even as coronavirus cases continue to rise across the country. Universal also previously delayed the release of “Marry Me” with Jennifer Lopez from a Valentine’s Day release to instead open in May 2021.

“The 355” is about a CIA agent who joins forces with secret agents from across the globe to prevent a mercenary from using a top-secret weapon.

Jessica Chastain revealed that The 355 came out of seeing little to no action films featuring women ensembles. After learning about the women involved in international espionage while working on Zero Dark Thirty, the producer and star said she knew a story about women spies was worth telling.

During the New York Comic Con Saturday panel, Chastain joined The 355 co-stars Lupita Nyong’o, Diane Kruger and Fan Bingbing to talk the impact they hope The 355 will have on audiences and the movie industry.

“My goals and dreams for The 355 is that we just accept the fact that women are awesome and tough and bada**,” Chastain said. “I’m excited for society to start acknowledging what’s happening in our world.”

Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne in The Aeronauts (2019)
“So it begins…” Amazon has unveiled the first trailer for its Eddie Redmayne-Felicity Jones pic The Aeronauts.

The trailer shows the lengths and heights that the pair have gone to in the Tom Harper-directed feature.

Set in 1862, The Aeronauts follows wealthy young widow Amelia Wren (Jones) and headstrong scientist James Glaisher (Redmayne) as they mount a balloon expedition to fly higher than anyone in history. It’s a journey to the edge of the then-known world, where the air is thin and the chances of survival are slim.

Pic is written by Jack Thorne and directed and produced by Harper. Mandeville Films’ Todd Lieberman and David Hoberman also produce. Richard Hewitt and Thorne are executive producers.

Universal’s Spy Thriller ‘355’ Gets 2021 Release Date
Simon Kinberg
Universal has set a January 15, 2021 release date for 355, the ensemble spy thriller that came together during last year’s Cannes Film Festival. The pic directed and co-written by Simon Kinberg stars Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Diane Kruger and Fan Bingbing.

The hope is to launch a franchise based on an idea by Chastain of a Bourne Identity-like thriller revolving around female spies from agencies around the world. The women must bond together, overcoming their suspicions and conflicts, to use all their considerable talents and training to stop an event from occurring that could thrust our teetering world into total chaos. Along the way, these strangers and enemies become comrades and friends, and a new faction is formed and code-named “355” (a name they adopt from the first female spy in the American Revolution).

Amazon Shifts Release Date & Cuts Theatrical Window For Potential Awards Pic ‘The Aeronauts’ With Eddie Redmayne & Felicity Jones
Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne in The Aeronauts (2019)
Exclusive: Amazon Studios is shifting its anticipated Eddie Redmayne-Felicity Jones pic The Aeronauts deeper into awards season, from October 25 to December 6, we can reveal.

In a potentially telling move about Amazon’s future direction, the company is also collapsing the intended theatrical window for the ballooning disaster film. Instead of a traditional theatrical release, including a previously agreed one-week Imax commitment, the film will get a short stateside theatrical release via Amazon, then will launch on Amazon Prime Video on December 20 in what we hear is a bid to maximize in-home holiday eyeballs.

We gather the significant change to the release plan was taken in concert with the film’s stars and producers. The partnership with Imax on the movie is now up in the air, however, despite key action sequences being designed with Imax viewers in mind.

The film reunites Felicity Jones (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and Eddie Redmayne following their successful collaboration on The Theory of Everything, where Jones received an Oscar nomination and Redmayne went onto win the Oscar for his performance of Stephen Hawking.

The Aeronauts is directed by BAFTA nominee Tom Harper and is written by BAFTA winner Jack Thorne.

Eddie Redmayne, Felicity Jones Reunited in First Look at Amazon’s ‘Aeronauts’
Eddie Redmayne
Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones are reunited in the first-look image for Amazon Studios’ “The Aeronauts,” which began shooting in the U.K. this week. The two British stars previously worked together in James Marsh’s “The Theory of Everything,” for which Redmayne won the Oscar for best actor while Jones was nominated for best actress.

According to producers, the first-look image was taken with the film’s two lead performers 2,000 feet in the air. “We’re fortunate that Felicity and Eddie have the nerve to do these stunts themselves as it authenticates our entire approach,” said producer Todd Lieberman.

Lieberman says authenticity is a top priority for “Aeronauts.” “We intend to do as much balloon filming in the sky as the weather will allow. The image was taken after we launched Felicity and Eddie 2,000 feet in the air, performing their scripted scene, while a helicopter captured it all,” said Lieberman.
