Joseph Kosinski, renowned for his work on Top Gun: Maverick and Tron: Legacy, is reportedly set to direct a new Miami Vice movie for Universal, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This exciting project will see Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy penning the script, building on an initial draft from Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. Gilroy, who has recently been involved in writing multiple episodes of the acclaimed Star Wars series Andor—created by his brother Tony—brings a wealth of storytelling expertise to this venture.

Miami Vice, an iconic NBC police series, was originally created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by the legendary Michael Mann. Airing for five seasons from 1984 to 1989, the show starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as the dynamic Miami detectives Crockett and Tubbs. The series revolutionized television with its groundbreaking style, visuals, and sound, earning a lasting place in TV history.

Previously, the series was adapted into a feature film in 2006, directed by Michael Mann and featuring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell in the lead roles. While further details about the new Miami Vice movie are scarce at this point, it's confirmed that this 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 delve deep into the project, ensuring a thoughtful and polished addition to the Miami Vice legacy.
