hollywoodreporter.com:

Oscar winner Regina King recalled having to possibly push the release of One Night in Miami because she was short a couple scenes when the on-going novel coronavirus pandemic shut down production of her directorial debut.

We were now in this powder keg moment," King told a press conference at the Toronto Film Festival on Friday. So King and her producers arranged a socially-distanced shoot that mostly involved two of her movie's leads — Eli Goree, who plays a young Cassius Clay before he would become Muhammad Ali, and Leslie Odom Jr.
