Michael B. Jordan, Austin Butler's ‘Miami Vice' restart gets official name
Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler's long-anticipated Miami Vice restart now has an official title, a helmer and a launch date, and it is shaping up to be one of the most exciting blockbusters on the horizon.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the man behind F1 and Top Gun: Maverick, it is scheduled for launch on 6 August 2027 and will be filmed for Imax.
Freshly crowned best player Oscar victor Jordan will play Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs, while Oscar candidate Butler takes on James "Sonny" Crockett, the roles made famous by Philip Michael Thomas and Don Johnson in the gem 1980s showing program, and later reimagined by Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell in Michael Mann's 2006 big-display version.
"Michael is someone I've admired for a long time, [and] always wanted to work with him. Austin, I think, is proving himself as someone to watch. Again, I've just have really admired his choices," he told Variety when talks were first reported last year.
Jordan took home the Academy Award, a SAG-AFTRA award and two NAACP awards for his dual display in Ryan Coogler's Sinners , and is also directing and starring in a reimagining of The Thomas Crown Affair .
