Joseph Kosinski will direct Miami Vice ’85, the latest feature adaptation of the classic 1980s crime series which originally starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as detectives James ‘Sonny’ Crockett and Ricardo ‘Rico’ Tubbs.
According to the official logline, it will explore “the glamour and corruption of mid-80’s Miami” and is “inspired by the pilot episode and first season of the landmark television series that influenced culture and set the style of everything from fashion to filmmaking”.
Gossip Girl revival alum Whitney Peak and Oppenheimer actor Alden Ehrenreich are also signed on as supporting cast members.
