‘Miami Vice’ Remake in the Works With ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Director Joseph Kosinski

“Top Gun: Maverick” filmmaker Joseph Kosinski is set to direct a “Miami Vice” remake for Universal Pictures.

Dan Gilroy (“Nightcrawler,” “The Bourne Legacy”) is adapting the screenplay. Though plot details haven’t been revealed, the movie is based the 1980s TV series, starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as undercover detectives in South Florida. The neon-hued show ran on NBC for five seasons from 1984-1989. A film version was first attempted in 2006, with Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell leading the cast and Michael Mann (who produced the original series) behind the camera. Though it became a cult favorite over time, the “Miami Vice” movie flopped in its theatrical run, grossing $165 million against a reported $135 million budget.

Casting has yet to be announced. In addition to directing, Kosinski will produce through his company, Monolith. Dylan Clark, who worked with Kosinski on 2016’s post-apocalyptic action thriller “Oblivion” as well as the Matt Reeves-directed “Planet of the Apes” series, will also serve as a producer through Dylan Clark Productions. Universal’s executive VP of production development Sara Scott will oversee “Miami Vice” on behalf of the studio.

Kosinski, who steered “Top Gun: Maverick” to blockbuster success with nearly $1.5 billion at the global box office, will debut his next feature, Brad Pitt-led racing drama “F1,” over the summer. Before he heads to the 305, Kosinski is directing a UFO conspiracy thriller for Apple. His previous credits include “Tron: Legacy,” true-life firefighter drama “Only the Brave” and sci-fi thriller “Spiderhead” with Chris Hemsworth.
