Well it's just impossible to recreate the vibe and feel that show had and it can't be duplicated. Secondly I'm not watching anything with Leguizamo in it he literally told me not to see his films since I think ILLEGAL aliens should be deported for breaking the law.

John Leguizamo is an OG Miami Vice actor going back to Tubb's origin story with Esteban Calderone. I guess you can pout about it, though.

I'm well aware of that I'm old enough to have watched the show when it aired in the 80s. I'm not pouting I'm doing exactly what he asked.

He's a perfect director for this project if Mann is not involved.


I hated this movie at first and thought Colin Farrell & Jamie Foxx were the wrong characters to fill the roles and Castillo was really wrong. I think Mann could've done so much better overall!!

Will Sonny have an alligator?
Will Sonny’s English doctor girlfriend tell him, “Sonny, I’m a jun-kie”?

It was Miami Vice as a modern but gritty and sleazy crime thriller. I love the movie, it's a great Mann film.


Exactly. I hated the movie too when it came out and now I think it's one of the most original projects Mann ever did. A great work. But It's an experimental vibe film long before that was a thing.

He had already done the 80s. It couldn't be topped.

So he perfectly encapsulated the mid00s on a Thompson Viper. Didn't need slick, pink and pastels. Just needed the dark and Linkin Park...

This is what he has to top. The greatest 3 minutes in the history of television.

Will the movie have "In the Air Tonight" as a nod to the creativness and boldness in a TV show that married a brooding song with arrest and shootout scenes.
That scene by Mann set the example of marrying dramatic scenes with slow dramatic music in the foreground covering up the sound of the chaos that is unfolding in the screne.
