I love the 2006 movie, haters be damned.  Kosinski is not afraid to take on a revered IP and make it new.  

“Top Gun: Maverick” filmmaker Joseph Kosinski is set to direct a “Miami Vice” remake for Universal Pictures.

Dan Gilroy (“Nightcrawler,” “The Bourne Legacy”) is adapting the screenplay. Though plot details haven’t been revealed...

 

Casting has yet to be announced.

It's a ways out, and it may not happen.  Let's let the hope keep us warm.

Was thinking the same.  Should it be set in the present day with a new cast?  Present day with the old cast?  Or 1983 with a new cast?

Regardless, I’ll take it.

The OLD cast?  Doing what, going undercover in a retirement community to blow the lid on Medicare fraud and scripts smuggled in from Canada?

I shouldn't give away the ending I have come up with until i get paid, but let's say Crocket is very glad he is wearing his life alert bracelet.

Present day just wouldn't work, has to be a period piece. 80's Miami was wild and trashy present day is just trashy.

Tell me this doesn't still give you goosebumps

 

 

And that this scene isn't amazing.   60 seconds goes by before Crockett asks how much time they have.   It feels like an eternity but the tension fills the space perfecty.   Hell, there's a 15 second shot of the Ferrari wheels at the start that is excellent film making.

It's not Miami Vice without the '80s vibe

Not just the 80's vibe, but the changed it brought about in the way a police show was presented and the main characters were portrayed compared to their predecessors and peers.

if you were a kid growing up in the 70's & early 80's and watched any police shows on tv you can pick out the common traits, settings, and characters from among:

Kojack

Streets of San Francisco

Columbo

Police Story

Cagney & Lacey (Even with two women as the leads they followed the formula)

Starsky & Hutch (Even as the "cool" detectives they really didn't carry that anti-hero vibe).

The Equalizer

Hill Street Blues

TJ Hooker

Hunter

 Chips 

Then you get to Miami Vice.  The music, the settings, the  wardrobe and just flash of color as opposed to being gray, cold, and wet, and from the very first show you had this feeling that if push came to shove Sonny and Tubbs would do whatever they needed to do to bring about "justice".  

I am not sure how you reproduce that feeling in a reboot. The closest thing I can think of is when they rebooted Shaft.

No cop drama will ever match this.  Just fucking amazing that it ever got made the way it did.

Somewhat related - I finished reading Heat 2 (Michael Mann is a co-author) this week and saw that Mann just finished a screenplay for it. The book jumps around/is a prequel and a sequel, so I am not sure who they would cast in all the big roles since all those guys are geriatrics or dead (Val Kilmer's character is the main book character).

That movie is a masterpiece. Haters are dumb.

being a car guy, it always made me cringe a bit from the rolling shots of his Ferrari and seeing all the swirl marks in the paint as the street lights pass over it.

Hell, yes. Do it!  Just keep the same audacity and cool ferocity.  Fuck the 40 years ago actors. Find some new faces and make them celebrities. Ms. Llama, Baby Llama and I fucking savored Miami Vice each week but for the occasional dud. (2 out of 10?)

The episodes were somewhat formulaic but the settings, the music and that awesome cast delivering the lines made it a joy. EJO commanded the screen and the Stripes “There was one?” guy provided comic relief. That theme intro montage of outstanding images and clips and kick ass music was and is a classic . . . Pal.
