Joseph Kosinski is reportedly set to direct a new adaptation of the iconic NBC police series, Miami Vice, for Universal, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The screenplay will be penned by Dan Gilroy, known for his work on Nightcrawler, who will build upon an initial draft by Eric Warren Singer, the screenwriter behind Top Gun: Maverick. Gilroy has recently been involved in writing multiple episodes of the critically acclaimed Star Wars series Andor, which was created by his brother, Tony Gilroy.
Miami Vice, created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann, aired for five influential seasons from 1984 to 1989. The series starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as the stylish Miami detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, respectively. It revolutionized the television landscape with its unique aesthetic, soundtrack, and narrative style, cementing its status as a cultural phenomenon.
The show was previously adapted into a feature film in 2006 by Michael Mann, the visionary director behind Heat and Collateral. The film starred Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell, bringing the neon-lit world of Miami Vice to the big screen.
While further details about the upcoming film are scarce, it's clear that *Miami Vice* will not be the next project for director Joseph Kosinski, who is fresh off the release of his film *F1* in June. This timeline should afford Kosinski ample opportunity to meticulously prepare for his take on the vibrant and dynamic world of *Miami Vice*.
