Joseph Kosinski, the acclaimed director behind Top Gun: Maverick and Tron: Legacy, is reportedly set to helm a new Miami Vice film for Universal, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
Dan Gilroy, known for his work on Nightcrawler, has been tapped to pen the script, building upon an initial draft by Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. Gilroy's recent contributions include writing multiple episodes of the critically acclaimed Star Wars series Andor, created by his brother, Tony Gilroy.
Miami Vice, the iconic NBC police drama, was created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann. Airing from 1984 to 1989, the series starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as detectives Crockett and Tubbs, and is celebrated for its revolutionary approach to television aesthetics and storytelling. The show was previously adapted into a film in 2006 by Michael Mann, featuring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell.
Details on the upcoming *Miami Vice* movie remain sparse, and it's confirmed that this project won't be Kosinski's immediate follow-up to his upcoming film *F1*, set for release in June. This timeline should afford Kosinski ample opportunity to immerse himself in the vibrant world of *Miami Vice* and meticulously craft the cinematic experience fans eagerly anticipate.
