Lauryn Hill performing at 'the 25th annual Martin Luther King jr concert series' at Wingate field, Brooklyn. New York City, USA - 06.08.07

Marley is working as executive producer on the big screen adaptation of her 2004 autobiography No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley - and has her sights set on casting the former Fugees frontwoman, her daughter-in-law, in the chronicle of her tumultuous 15-year marriage to the musician.

She explains, "Lauryn would be ideal (to play me). She sees my life as her life."

Bob Marley's son Rohan - with former lover Janet Hunt - is married to the Everything Is Everything hitmaker, who has been largely absent from the music scene following her hit 1998 debut solo album The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.

The as-yet-untitled project is slated to begin filming early next year (09).
