Joseph Kosinski is reportedly set to direct a new Miami Vice movie for Universal, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy is poised to pen the script, building upon an initial draft crafted by Eric Warren Singer, who also wrote the screenplay for Top Gun: Maverick. Dan Gilroy has been actively involved in writing episodes for the Star Wars series Andor, created by his brother, Tony Gilroy.
Miami Vice, an iconic NBC police drama series created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann, aired for five seasons from 1984 to 1989. Starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, the show revolutionized the television landscape with its distinctive visual style, immersive atmosphere, and memorable soundtrack.
The franchise was previously adapted into a feature film in 2006 by Michael Mann, featuring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell in the lead roles.
At this early stage, further details remain scarce. However, it is clear that Miami Vice will not be Joseph Kosinski's next project following the release of F1 this June. This timeline leaves him ample opportunity to focus on other ventures, perhaps even indulging in his passion for Ferraris.
