Joseph Kosinski, known for directing Top Gun: Maverick and Tron: Legacy, is reportedly set to helm a new Miami Vice movie for Universal, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Dan Gilroy, the writer-director of Nightcrawler, is tasked with writing the script, building upon an initial draft by Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. Gilroy has recently been involved in writing multiple episodes of the Star Wars series Andor, which was created by his brother, Tony.
Miami Vice is a landmark NBC police series created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann. Airing for five seasons from 1984 to 1989, the show starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as Miami detectives Crockett and Tubbs. It is celebrated for revolutionizing the aesthetics and style of television series.
The series was previously brought to the big screen in 2006 by Michael Mann, with Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell leading the cast.
While details on the new film are currently sparse, it's clear that *Miami Vice* won't be Kosinski's immediate next project following the release of his film *F1* this June. This timeline should afford Kosinski ample opportunity to prepare and refine his vision for the film.
