Joseph Kosinski is reportedly set to direct a new Miami Vice movie for Universal, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This exciting project will see Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy penning the script, building upon an initial draft by Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. Gilroy, who has recently been involved in writing multiple episodes of the acclaimed Star Wars series Andor—created by his brother Tony—brings a wealth of storytelling experience to the table.
Miami Vice, the iconic NBC police series, was created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann. Airing for five seasons from 1984 to 1989, the show starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as the stylish Miami detectives Crockett and Tubbs. It's celebrated for revolutionizing television with its unique visual and auditory style.
The series was previously adapted into a film in 2006, directed by Michael Mann and featuring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell in the lead roles.
While further details about the new *Miami Vice* movie are scarce at this point, it's clear that it won't be the next project for Kosinski, who is set to release *F1* this June. This timeline should provide Kosinski with ample opportunity to immerse himself in the vibrant world of *Miami Vice* and perhaps even select the perfect Ferrari to match the film's iconic style.
