There is a fresh take on an old classic in the works. The iconic 80s TV series Miami Vice is getting a new life as a drama film. The story will focus on undercover cops tackling drug dealers, just like the original series. This time, it is Joseph Kosinski who will be directing the film. It is not the first time he is taking on a big project. He is currently working on a Formula One movie with Brad Pitt and has plans for a UFO project with Jerry Bruckheimer. The script for Miami Vice is being rewritten by Dan Gilroy. He is known for his work on Nightcrawler and the Lucasfilm series Andor. The original script was written by Eric Warren Singer, but he had to move on to another project.

The original Miami Vice series was a huge hit. It was created by Anthony Yerkovich and turned into a cultural symbol of the 80s by Michael Mann. The show featured undercover cops Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs, played by Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas. They were known for their cool pastel wardrobes, fast cars, and cutting-edge soundtrack. The series ran for five seasons and was later turned into a 2006 film starring Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx.

The new Miami Vice film is expected to bring a modern twist to the classic story. With Kosinski at the helm and Gilroy rewriting the script, it is sure to be a thrilling ride. The film is being produced by Dylan Clark along with Kosinski. The casting for the film has not been announced yet, but it is sure to be a star-studded affair. The original series was a cultural phenomenon, and this new film has the potential to be just as impactful. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Miami Vice story.

The original series was a product of its time. It reflected the flashy, neon-soaked aesthetic of the 80s and the popularity of MTV. The show was a cop drama with a twist, featuring undercover cops who blended in with the criminal underworld. The new film is expected to bring a similar aesthetic, but with a modern twist. It will be interesting to see how the filmmakers balance the nostalgia of the original series with the need to appeal to a modern audience. The film is sure to be a hit with fans of the original series and a new generation of viewers.
