AceShowbiz - Universal Studios is bringing back the iconic 1980s TV series "Miami Vice" for the big screen - this time with Joseph Kosinski, the acclaimed director of "Top Gun: Maverick," at the helm. According to a report by Variety, the new adaptation will not be related to the 2006 movie starring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell, which did not fare well at the box office. The original "Miami Vice" series aired on NBC from 1984 to 1989, with Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas starring as detectives Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs. While most storylines were wrapped up within an episode, they were often based on real-life crimes from Miami. His directorial acclaim includes the box office hit "Top Gun: Maverick," which grossed nearly $1.5 billion globally.
