ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI

Director: Regina King
Starring: Kingsley Ben-Adir, Eli Goree, Leslie Odom Jr, Aldis Hodge, Lance Reddick, Michael Imperioli, Beau Bridges

Regina King went from a child star on 227 to a 4-time Emmy winner and Oscar winner. She’s now making her feature film directorial debut with One Night in Miami which has been adapted from the stage play by Kemp Powers. Powers also wrote the film’s screenplay. He’s having a strong 2020 after co-writing and co-directing Pixar’s Soul. Powers imagines a meeting between four legendary figures: football player Jim Brown, activist Malcolm X, singer Sam Cooke, and boxer Mohammad Ali. It’s February 25, 1964 and they’ve all gathered for one of Ali’s matches. Malcom X is providing spiritual guidance to Ali hoping to convert him to the Church of Islam. Streaming on Amazon Prime January 15, 2021
