Bob Marley Documentary Loses Director Jonathan Demme

14 August 2009 5:35 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Marley, a new documentary about the iconic Jamaican reggae singer, just can't keep a director attached. Last May, Martin Scorsese dropped out of the project sighting a "scheduling conflict". Today, The New York Post's Page Six is reporting that Jonathan Demme, the director that took over for Scorsese, has also left the film, which is scheduled for a February 6th, 2010 release date (what would have been the singer's 65th birthday).

The reason for Demme's departure stems from producer Steve Bing not being happy with the first round of editing the director turned in. At this time, it's unclear if Demme's departure will affect the film's planned release date. The documentary has been authorized by the Marley family, and son Ziggy Marley expressed that he was "very excited" when Demme came onto the unfinished project.

Page Six was unable to contact producer Steve Bing for comment.

Other unisex names, like Taylor and Morgan, soon followed suit. But celebrity parents are known for pushing the envelope, and when it comes to selecting gender bending names they often lead the charge. Linda Rosenkrantz, co-founder of nameberry.com, notes that names like James and Judah had previously been considered 100% strictly male — until they were selected by Brendan Fehr and Ziggy Marley, respectively, for their baby girls! What’s the appeal? Linda explains,

“Boys names on girls bestow on their bearers a certain tomboyish, cutting edge image, an attention-catching rebel sensibility –  and possibly an attempt to level the playing field.”

With that said, there are obvious downsides. Linda cites the possibility for “all kinds of mix-ups and confounded expectations, »
