Emmy and Oscar-winning actress Regina King is in uncharted waters.
“I am so excited and anxious – all the different forms of that word,” King tells us about unveiling her feature directorial debut One Night In Miami.
“Pull up a thesaurus and look up the word anxious and I am all of those things. We haven’t had the opportunity for screenings because of the pandemic.”
One Night In Miami, which debuts at the Venice Film Festival next week, charts a real meeting in the segregated South between iconic figures Cassius Clay (Eli Goree), Malcolm X (Kingsley Ben-Adir), Sam Cooke (Leslie Odom Jr) and Jim Brown (Aldis Hodge).
