Miami Vice movie | Joseph Kosinski

[HomerThompson]

Don Johnson ain’t putting butts in the seats at theatres. Might as well just cast his actual daughter as the lead taking over. The kids of Crockett and Tubbs.

Didn't know that... but did find this weird bit from Wikipedia:

He is best known for creating the 1980s cop show Miami Vice.[1] He served as the show's executive producer along with Michael Mann before handing over full executive responsibilities to Mann after only six episodes.

I'll have to look into the why.

Mann demanded full creative control when he came on board as executive producer.

Olmos also insisted on the same thing for his character before he would join the cast.

And the dude just gave it up? What's the payoff on that?

I mean, it worked out better creatively but... weird move.

One of the most successful shows in the history of television?

I don't really see the controversy in hiring the right people to bring your vision to life. Sometimes that comes with capitulating and meeting their demands.

[Mr. Chaverria]

Oh. I read it as he just left it all for some reason.

I don't think there's any actual plot information released yet. I would not trust an unattributed IMDb synopsis that (afaik) can be edited by people who aren't even involved with the production.

If the director will work in a story similar to top gun2 it's possible to see Don and Philip returns. But with the woke canon of hollywood today, it's probably the story with two eomen in search of the old crockett and tubbs to solve a case..

August 6, 2027

A reboot of “Miami Vice” is heading to theaters in 2027 from Joseph Kosinski, the director behind this year’s racing hit “F1” and billion-dollar blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick.” It will release in theaters on Aug. 6, 2027.

The new movie “explores the glamour and corruption of mid-80’s Miami” and is “inspired by the pilot episode and first season of the landmark television series that influenced culture and set the style of everything from fashion to filmmaking.”

Important question

[slip220]

A Miami Vice movie is a new level of laziness in Hollywood

[jeff BD]

We dont get too many big budget adult action movies so Im all for this. Especially if its set in the cocaine cowboys era of the 80s.

[PhysicalMediaMaestro]

I'm not sure if Joesph Kosinski can make this a good movie or not. If he can, great. If not, it will be the first black mark on his record as a director.

[BluBonnet]

Somebody clearly hasn’t watched Spiderhead…

Funny to see this thread pick back up today as I just finished the original series this morning! Casting will more or less make this remake.
