Universal Pictures announced a few major updates regarding their upcoming "Miami Vice" big screen reboot. First of all, the film has a new title, which is "Miami Vice '85". Secondly, it has now been officially confirmed that Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan ("Sinners") and Oscar nominee Austin Butler ("Elvis") are set to star, as the two actors closed their respective deals with the studio.
The reboot, which is directed by Joseph Kosinski ("Top Gun: Maverick", "F1") from a script by Oscar nominee Dan Gilroy ("Nightcrawler"), will explore the glamour and corruption of mid-1980s Miami in an all-new version inspired by the pilot episode and first season of the landmark Universal Television series that influenced culture and set the style in everything from fashion to filmmaking.
Jordan and Butler will star as Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, and James "Sonny" Crockett, characters portrayed by Philip Michael Thomas and Don Johnson in the classic 1980s TV series, and by Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell in Michael Mann's 2006 big-screen adaptation. Production starts later this year, and the film will be shot for IMAX. The release date has been set for August 6, 2027.
"Miami Vice '85" will be produced by Dylan Clark via his Dylan Clark Productions and Kosinski. Gilroy is writing the script, based on characters created by Anthony Yerkovich from the series executive produced by Yerkovich and Michael Mann. Eric Warren Singer wrote an earlier draft of the screenplay. EVP Production Development Sara Scott and Creative Executive of Production Development Christina Hoffrogge will oversee the project for Universal.
Jordan will next direct, star in and produce Amazon MGM Studios' remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair", which will be released in theaters on March 5, 2027. Butler's next film is the A24 crime thriller "Enemies", in which he stars opposite Jeremy Allen White.
