The film initially began development in 2008, with a planned release date for Marley's 65th birthday on 6 February 2010. Martin Scorsese and Jonathan Demme were attached at different points but both would depart from the documentary, with Demme citing creative differences.[5] The documentary was then put on hold until Macdonald signed on as director.[6][7]
It was released on 20 April 2012, and received critical acclaim.[1][2][8] The film was also released on demand on the same day, a "day and date" release.[9] The film features archival footage and interviews.
