Filmmaker Martin Scorsese is lining up another documentary about a music legend - the Oscar winner has announced plans to make a movie about Bob Marley.

Scorsese has previously explored the '60s heyday of Bob Dylan's career in "No Direction Home" and his new Rolling Stones concert film "Shine A Light" premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in Germany on Thursday.

Now the director has signed up to shoot a documentary on reggae legend Marley, who died of cancer in 1981 at the age of 36.

Marley's son Ziggy Marley will act as executive producer on the currently-untitled film, which is set for release on February 6, 2010, the 65th anniversary of the star's birth.
