Jonathan Demme has replaced Martin Scorsese as the director of a Bob Marley documentary due to "scheduling conflicts".

According to Reuters, Demme’s addition to the project has been welcomed by the Marley family, including executive producer Ziggy Marley.

The film is due to be released in 2010, the 65th anniversary of Marley’s birth.

Scorsese recently made the Rolling Stones concert film 'Shine A Light' and also directed the Bob Dylan documentary 'No Direction Home' while Demme shot the recent Neil Young documentary 'Heart of Gold'.
