Miami Vice 85: Jordan & Butler's Neon Comeback

0:00On April 22nd, Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler are teaming up to star in a fresh take on Miami Vice, called Miami Vice 85. They're playing the iconic detectives with Jordan as Ricardo Rico Tubbs and Butler as James Sonny Crockett. Joseph Kaczynski, the guy behind Top Gun Maverick in F1, is directing and the film hits theaters on August 6th, 2027. This project pulls straight from the 1984 pilot in first season, diving into the glamour and grit of mid-80s Miami. Expect high-octane action shot for iMac screens, bringing that pastel-suited vibe back to life. The original TV series ran on NBC from 1984 to 1989, starring Don Johnson as Crockett and Philip Michael Thomas as Tubbs. Those South Florida cops busted crimes in flashy style, snagging four Emmys over five seasons. Then came the 2006 movie by Michael Mann, with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx in the leads. A bomb at first, but built a die-hard cult fanbase over time.
