Joseph Kosinski’s Miami Vice movie finally has a title, Miami Vice ’85, and Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler have officially signed on to play Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs and Sonny Crockett after long circling the project in negotiations.
quote:
The movie version of the 1980s TV series is inspired by the police show’s pilot episode and first season and is set for a release by Universal Pictures on Aug. 6, 2027. Miami Vice ’85 will also be a period film, unlike Michael Mann’s 2006 Miami Vice movie that starred Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell.

No Michael Mann no care
Also Miami Vice 2006 is a pure representation of the mid 2000s as a time and place and style in the same way the show was to the 1980s

Some things just can't live up to the original so it's pointless to even try. MV is one of those things just like Back to the Future.

Like both actors but haven’t seen either pull off anything close to the personality of these two characters.

The title of Miami Vice '85 gives me Wonder Woman 1984 vibes and that movie was arse. I'll keep an open mind about this but I'm meh on the casting. I don't expect them to be the second coming of Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas because they can't be. No actors today have that kind of swag.

I feel like the Michael Mann one has picked up alot of steam over the years as a cult classic. I've never seen it but i thought it got crushed when it initially came out?

While maybe not as strong top to bottom as Hill Street Blues, Miami Vice had an incredible cast even below the leads. Olmos was great, but that cast had a solid supporting cast of fellow cops and the guest star list was bananas - like Adam West's Batman guest list "bananas".

think it was in the 40% range for fans and critic on rotten tomatoes and barely broke even at the box office. That said i didn't think it was terrible, had a few scenes that were memorable I still vividly remember.

It was too stodgy and serious. I suspect this one will suffer from the same problem. Hollywood has lost the ability to mix humor into anything.

They already redid Miami Vice so they are going back to the well already? Someone must have brought that up and then gotten the response, "but what if we threw in a bunch of nostalgic 80s references"? "Brilliant"! Come bUy some bullshite GenX version of their childhood that never really existed.

From what I remember, Mann crushed it with Collateral and tried the same formula (dark, grainy image, gritty story) with Miami Vice. But MV doesn’t really lend itself to that kind of thing, so it disappointed a lot of people, myself included. Haven’t revisited it since then, maybe it gained a following over the years.

Castillo, Trudy, Gina, Switek, and Larry were all awesome. Martin Ferrero as Izzy was great. The only recurring character I never really liked was Noogie. You can do an extensive who's who list of all the current and future stars that had guest spots on the show. The movie with Colin and Jamie didn't really give much space for supporting cast to shine. The cops anyway, the villains were fine and Gong Li was very good.

It has. I wouldn’t say it got crushed when it opened either. It was somewhat polarizing, but definitely not an unqualified success. It’s definitely picked up appreciation since then but not on the level of Collateral or Heat. I would give it a rewatch.

Thought Mann was involved in this somehow, guess not...
Butler is a hell of a talent but feels like Jordan has been forced down everyones throats lately.
Dunno how I feel about it. The Ferrel/Fox version years ago wasn't great, but def wasn't bad.

I anxiously await him going undercover with a Jamaican accent. Love those scenes when Miami Vice was on Netflix.

Elvis as an 80s drug cop! Perfecto
