"Top Gun: Maverick Director Joseph Kosinski to Helm New Miami Vice Movie"
Joseph Kosinski is reportedly set to direct a new Miami Vice movie for Universal, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy is on board to pen the script, building on an initial draft from Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. Gilroy has recently been occupied writing multiple episodes of the Star Wars series Andor, which was created by his brother, Tony.
Miami Vice is a highly influential NBC police series, created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann, which aired for five seasons from 1984 to 1989. The show, starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as Miami detectives Crockett and Tubbs, is renowned for revolutionizing the aesthetics, atmosphere, and sound of television series.
The series was previously adapted into a film in 2006 by Michael Mann (known for Heat and Collateral), with Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell in the lead roles.
While details are sparse at this point, it's clear that Miami Vice will not be the immediate follow-up project for the director of Top Gun: Maverick and Tron: Legacy, as Kosinski is set to release F1 in June.This timeline should afford Kosinski ample opportunity to carefully select the perfect Ferrari for the film.
