Earlier today, we reported on some mildly optimistic news from the world of indie film, with the Toronto International Film Festival releasing its list of the entrants for its (by necessity somewhat altered) 2020 iteration. Among them: An exciting directorial debut, in the form of Regina King’s One Night In Miami, which recreates the 1964 evening when a then-Cassius Clay became the heavyweight champion of the world. As it turns out, though, you won’t even have to be in (virtual) attendance at the festival to check the Watchmen star’s first film, with Amazon Studios announcing that it’s already picked the movie up for distribution.
