Alden Ehrenreich Joins Michael B. Jordan And Austin Butler in MIAMI VICE '85

Alden Ehrenreich ("Weapons", "Oppenheimer") has joined the cast of Universal Pictures' "Miami Vice '85", a reimagining of the classic 1980s crime drama series. The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski ("Top Gun: Maverick", "F1") from a script by Dan Gilroy ("Nightcrawler") based on characters created by Anthony Yerkovich. Eric Warren Singer ("Top Gun: Maverick") wrote an earlier draft of the screenplay.

The film explores the glamour and corruption of mid-1980s Miami in an all-new version of "Miami Vice", inspired by the pilot episode of the landmark Universal Television series that influenced culture and set the style of everything from fashion to filmmaking. Bringing current technological expertise to the sights and sounds of the series, "Miami Vice '85" will be filmed for IMAX, and is expected to begin production this year. The release date has been set for May 19, 2028.

Dylan Clark will produce via Dylan Clark Productions, alongside Kosinski and Michael Mann. EVP Production Development Sara Scott and Creative Executive of Production Development Christina Hoffrogge will oversee the project for the studio.

This year, Ehrenreich won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Play for his Broadway debut as Max in the revival of Gina Gionfriddo's dark comedy "Becky Shaw". He can next be seen opposite Helen Mirren in Anton Corbijn's "A Talent for Murder", which premieres at the 2026 Toronto Film Festival. He will also star opposite Daisy Ridley in the romantic comedy "The Last Resort".
