film adaptation of Miami Vice directed by Joseph Kosinski set for release in August 2027; casting process commenced for the project
In an exciting turn of events, the iconic TV series 'Miami Vice' is set to make a comeback, with director Joseph Kosinski at the helm. The reboot, produced by Dylan Clark, will be an event pic by Universal Pictures.
Created by Anthony Yerkovich, the original series starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as undercover Miami police officers. This new iteration, scheduled for release on Aug. 6, 2027, will explore the glamour and corruption of mid-'80s Miami, promising a fresh take on the beloved franchise.
Kosinski, best known for directing 'Top Gun: Maverick' and 'Oblivion', will bring his cinematic flair to the project. The film will be shot for Imax, ensuring a visually stunning experience for audiences.
'Top Gun: Maverick' grossed an impressive $1.5 billion at the worldwide box office, indicating a strong interest in Kosinski's work. His longtime collaborator, Dan Gilroy and Eric Singer, have penned the script, basing it on the characters created by Yerkovich.
As for the cast, no official announcements have been made yet. However, Chris Pine is a name that has been floated by fans as a potential fit for the role of Sonny Crockett. The casting process is currently underway, with anticipation building among fans.
The movie is inspired by the pilot episode and the first season of the landmark television series. Interestingly, a feature film of 'Miami Vice' was directed by Michael Mann in 2006, starring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell.
David Ellison, who fought a long battle to buy Paramount Pictures, was successful with the merger closing early last month. Ellison, who called 'Top Gun 3' a top priority at the studio, expressed interest in continuing to work with Tom Cruise, suggesting a potential continuation of the successful franchise.
With shooting set to begin next year, fans can look forward to more updates on the 'Miami Vice' reboot in the coming months. For now, no further details about the cast or plot have been revealed. Stay tuned for more news on this exciting project!
