About ‘One Night in Miami’:
Oscar-winning actress, Regina King will make her feature directing debut with an adaptation of Kemp Powers’ debut play, One Night in Miami, which centers around Cassius Clay, Malcolm X, singer Sam Cooke and football legend Jim Brown hanging out together at a Miami motel.
The night was February 25th, 1964 and the story centers around a young Cassius Clay before he became Muhammad Ali, right after his victory over Sonny Liston for the heavyweight title. Thousands of people hit the night clubs but, Jim Crow-era segregation laws forced Cassius Clay to party at the Hampton House Motel in Miami’s Overtown neighborhood, where he met three iconic leaders in sports, music, and civil rights. They discussed their private lives and at the end of the night, they leave determined to change the world.
Regina King started acting working with the late, great John Singleton on Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice and Higher Learning before acting in hit studio movies like Friday, Jerry Maguire and Ray. King will soon be seen in Damon Lindelof‘s new HBO series Watchmen, which filmed in Atlanta, Georgia.
