"Top Gun: Maverick Director Joseph Kosinski to Helm New Miami Vice Movie"

Joseph Kosinski, acclaimed director of 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 news follows the release of Kosinski’s upcoming film, F1, scheduled for June, suggesting that fans might have to wait a bit longer for this new take on the iconic series.

The screenplay for the new Miami Vice film is in the capable hands of Dan Gilroy, known for his work on Nightcrawler. Gilroy will be working off an initial draft by Eric Warren Singer, the screenwriter behind Top Gun: Maverick. Recently, Gilroy has been involved in writing multiple episodes of the acclaimed Star Wars series Andor, which was created by his brother, Tony Gilroy.

Miami Vice is a legendary NBC police drama, created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann. The series, which aired for five seasons from 1984 to 1989, starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as the charismatic Miami detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs. The show is celebrated for its groundbreaking approach to television, revolutionizing the visual and auditory aesthetics of TV series.

The series was previously adapted into a feature film in 2006, directed by Michael Mann and starring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell. While further details on Kosinski's Miami Vice project are scarce, it's clear that this new adaptation aims to build on the legacy of the original series and its cinematic predecessor.

As Kosinski navigates his schedule post-F1, he'll have ample time to immerse himself in the vibrant world of Miami Vice, perhaps even deciding on which Ferrari best suits the film's aesthetic—a nod to the series' iconic style.
