"Top Gun Director's New Miami Vice Film Revealed"

Joseph Kosinski, the acclaimed director behind Top Gun: Maverick and Tron: Legacy, is reportedly set to helm a new Miami Vice movie for Universal, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The project will feature a script penned by Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy, who is building on an initial draft from Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. Gilroy, who has recently contributed to the Star Wars series Andor—created by his brother Tony—brings a fresh perspective to the iconic franchise.

Miami Vice is a legendary NBC police series that was created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann. The show, which aired for five seasons from 1984 to 1989, starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as the suave Miami detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs. It's celebrated for its groundbreaking style, which redefined the aesthetic and sound of television series during its era.

The series was previously brought to the big screen in 2006 by Michael Mann, the visionary behind films like Heat and Collateral. The movie starred Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell, bringing the iconic characters to a new generation of fans.

At this early stage, specific details about the new Miami Vice film are sparse. However, it's clear that it will not be Kosinski's immediate next project following the release of his upcoming film F1 in June. This timeline should afford Kosinski ample opportunity to refine his vision for the Miami Vice reboot, perhaps even selecting the perfect Ferrari to match the film's iconic style.
