"Top Gun Director to Helm New Miami Vice Film"

Author:Kristen Update:May 14,2025

Joseph Kosinski is reportedly set to direct a new Miami Vice movie for Universal, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy is on board to pen the script, building on an initial draft from Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. Gilroy has recently been involved in writing multiple episodes of the Star Wars series Andor, which was created by his brother, Tony.

Miami Vice is a highly influential NBC police series, created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann, which aired for five seasons from 1984 to 1989. The show, starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as Miami detectives Crockett and Tubbs, is celebrated for revolutionizing the aesthetics and sound of television series.

The series was previously adapted into a film in 2006 by Michael Mann (Heat, Collateral), with Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell in the lead roles.

PlayDetails are sparse at this point, but it's clear that Miami Vice will not be the next project for the director of Top Gun: Maverick and Tron: Legacy, as Kosinski is set to release F1 in June.

This timeline should provide Kosinski ample opportunity to select the perfect Ferrari for the film.
