Forty-three years after playing the role of Ivanhoe 'Rhygin' Martin, in the iconic Jamaican crime film, The Harder They Come, legendary reggae artiste, Jimmy Cliff, is set to reprise the role in the upcoming sequel.
The film, famous for its reggae soundtrack, which is said to have 'brought reggae to the world', was enormously successful in Jamaica and also on the international market. The Harder They Come has possibly been the most influential Jamaican film and one of the most important films from the Caribbean.
The film, which will begin production later this year, will also feature Jimmy Cliff's vocals as he will be writing the soundtrack.
