Joseph Kosinski, acclaimed director of Top Gun: Maverick and Tron: Legacy, is set to helm a new Miami Vice movie for Universal, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The script will be penned by Dan Gilroy, the writer-director behind Nightcrawler, who will rework an initial draft by Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. Gilroy has recently been involved in writing multiple episodes of the Star Wars series Andor, created by his brother Tony Gilroy.

Miami Vice, a groundbreaking NBC police series, was created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann. It aired for five seasons from 1984 to 1989, starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as detectives Crockett and Tubbs. The series is celebrated for revolutionizing television with its unique style, sound, and visual flair.

The show was previously adapted into a feature film in 2006, directed by Michael Mann and starring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell.

While details about the new film are sparse, it's clear that Miami Vice won't be Kosinski's immediate next project following the release of his film F1 in June. This timeline should provide Kosinski ample opportunity to prepare for the new venture, perhaps even choosing the perfect Ferrari for the iconic Miami backdrop.
