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 script will be penned by Dan Gilroy, known for his work on Nightcrawler, who will be working from an initial draft by Eric Warren Singer, the screenwriter behind Top Gun: Maverick. Gilroy has recently contributed to multiple episodes of the 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 seasons from 1984 to 1989. The series starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as detectives Crockett and Tubbs and is celebrated for its groundbreaking style, which transformed the landscape of television with its unique aesthetic and sound.
The show was previously brought to the big screen in 2006 by Michael Mann, featuring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell in the lead roles.
While further details about the new film are scarce at this point, it is clear that **Miami Vice** will not be the next directorial project for Kosinski, who is coming off the release of his film *F1* in June. This timeline should afford Kosinski ample opportunity to meticulously prepare for this stylish revival of a classic series.
