Regina King’s Directorial Debut ‘One Night in Miami’
Here is a look at the official trailer of Regina King’s feature directorial debut, One Night in Miami.
The film is based on Kemp Power’s play of the same name. One Night in Miami is a fictionalized account of a meeting between Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, Muhammad Ali (who at the time in 1964, when the film is set, was still going by Cassius Clay).
The fictionalized retelling imagines the conversations and what happens when Cassius Clay, Malcolm X, Jim Brown, and Sam Cooke find themselves in the same room discussing their roles in the civil rights movement and cultural upheaval of the 60s.
It seems almost hard to imagine the four legends sharing the same space, but of course, they did. On the night of February 25th, 1964, after Cassius Clay (Ali) defeated Sonny Liston and became the Heavyweight Champion of the World, the four men gathered together to celebrate.
It is a tricky task for an actor to take on a real-life icon, so these four leading men had some big shoes to fill. The amazing reviews they have been receiving is a testament to just how incredibly talented these actors are.
