Jimmy Cliff set for cult film sequel

Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff is to star in a sequel to the cult film that first shot him to stardom, The Harder They Come. As well as starring in the 1973 movie, Cliff also wrote the music for it, and the title track is possibly his best-known song.

He told BBC World Service's The Ticket programme that his character Ivan - who was shot at the end of the first film - would be resurrected.

"You saw him shot up, but you never saw him buried," he explained.

The Harder They Come was the story of a young idealist musician in Jamaica who travelled to Kingston with the aim of hitting the big time, but instead ended up in the crime business.
