Joseph Kosinski, the acclaimed director behind Top Gun: Maverick and Tron: Legacy, is reportedly set to helm a new Miami Vice movie for Universal, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The script will be penned by Nightcrawler writer-director Dan Gilroy, who is building on an initial draft by 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 Gilroy.

Miami Vice is a landmark NBC police series, created by Anthony Yerkovich and produced by Michael Mann. The show, which aired for five seasons from 1984 to 1989, starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as the iconic Miami detectives Crockett and Tubbs. It is celebrated for revolutionizing the aesthetics and sound of television series, setting new standards in the industry.

The series was previously brought to the big screen in 2006 by Michael Mann, with Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell leading the cast. While further details about the new film are scarce at this point, it's clear that Miami Vice will not be Kosinski's immediate follow-up to his upcoming project, F1, set for release in June. This timeline should afford Kosinski ample opportunity to meticulously prepare for the new Miami Vice film, perhaps even choosing the perfect Ferrari to match the film's iconic style.
