The Hollywood Reporter’s Mia Galuppo sat down with director Regina King, screenwriter Kemp Powers and stars Kingsley Ben-Adir, Eli Goree, Aldis Hodge and Leslie Odom Jr. to discuss their Amazon Studios film,
One Night in Miami, in a
THR Presents Q&A powered by Vision Media.
Powers’ stage play, on which the film is based, takes place strictly in a room at the Hampton House, the historic hotel in still-segregated 1960s Miami where Malcolm X and Cassius Clay stayed prior to the latter s fight with Sonny Liston.
