New Miami Vice Movie Incoming from Top Gun: Maverick Director Joseph Kosinski

Joseph Kosinski, renowned for directing hits like Top Gun: Maverick and Tron: Legacy, is reportedly set to helm a new Miami Vice movie for Universal, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This exciting project will see the talents of Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy penning the script, building on an initial draft by Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. Gilroy has recently been making waves in the industry, contributing multiple episodes to the critically acclaimed Star Wars series Andor, created by his brother, Tony Gilroy.

Miami Vice, an iconic and influential NBC police series, 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 dynamic duo of Miami detectives Crockett and Tubbs. Miami Vice revolutionized television by redefining the visual, auditory, and emotional experience of TV series, setting a new standard for what was possible on the small screen.

The series was previously brought to the big screen in 2006 by Michael Mann, who also directed Heat and Collateral. That film adaptation starred Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell, bringing the high-octane world of Miami Vice to a new generation of fans.

While specific details about the new film are currently sparse, it's clear that Miami Vice won't be the next project on Kosinski's agenda. Following the release of his upcoming film F1 this June, Kosinski will have ample time to dive deep into the world of Miami Vice and decide which Ferrari he'll need to capture the essence of this iconic series.
