Top Gun: Maverick director will bring Miami Vice back to the big screen
- Joseph Kosinski is set to direct a new Miami Vice film for Universal Pictures, based on the 1980s NBC series about undercover detectives in South Florida.
- This project follows the 2006 Michael Mann film reboot, which featured Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx in the lead roles but performed poorly at the box office and garnered mixed critical reception.
- Dan Gilroy, known for Nightcrawler, is rewriting the screenplay originally drafted by Eric Warren Singer, who co-wrote Top Gun: Maverick, also directed by Kosinski.
- Top Gun: Maverick grossed nearly $1.5 billion globally and earned a Best Picture nomination, boosting Kosinski’s reputation for handling large productions.
- Though still early in development with no casting or release date, the new Miami Vice film may benefit from Kosinski’s recent successes and produce a fresh take on the iconic neo-noir drama.
