Universal isn’t waiting around for Joseph Kosinski‘s Miami Vice reboot.
Per Variety, an August 6, 2027 release date has been set for Miami Vice. Additionally, new plot details have been shared for the reboot, which will explore “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.”
Casting is currently underway for Miami Vice, which is looking to begin production next year. The movie will be filmed for IMAX. Hey, Kosinski, if you need help casting Crockett and Tubbs, our pal Kane offered his picks for the reboot right here. Nightcrawler filmmaker Dan Gilroy and Top Gun: Maverick scribe Eric Warren Singer penned the screenplay for Kosinski’s Miami Vice.
The original Miami Vice was a TV show starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as undercover detectives in South Florida. It aired on NBC for five seasons from 1984-1989. Kosinski’s reboot will be the second film version, following Michael Mann’s 2006 box office flop, which starred Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell.
Are you ready to see Miami Vice reimagined for this generation?
