Why do we like Miami Vice so much ?

Do you think they will make a Miami Vice movie?
Who will play Crockett?
Tubbs?

 

Collin Ferro as Crockett and Jamie Foxx as Tubbs.

 

In a recent interview Jamie Foxx said in Playboy that he bugged Mann into doing the remake. So the remake is really Jamie's idea.

 

MIAMI VICE ...
LIVING LARGE HOT CHICKS FAST CARS MUSIC IN THE AIR....
SUNSET VIEWS , CITY LIFE .. ACTION , ACTION.
ONLY IN MIAMI STYLE IS LIFE
JOHN

 

Sure want to see the series with the white Testarossa.... that's the really popular Miami Vice.

 

I hope and think it would be pretty cool if Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas have a cameo or little part in the new movie.

 

you poser! OK, I'll admit to a white cotton jacket and pastel shirts too....

 

The trailer looks pretty good

 

Will Smith would make a better Tubbs.
And how about Owen Wilson as Crockett?
Morgan Freeman as Castillo!

 

Yes it does! I can't wait for this movie, MM is probably my favorite director, and this is his baby.

 

So it sounds like a done deal. When is it coming out?

 

nope, nope, nope, nope...I'm getting so I HATE all these damn remakes. Oh and rap instead of rock, of course.....

 

That actually sounds like a better cast to me. Although Jamie Foxx is pretty good as well.

 

Couldn't agree more. There hasn't been one remake of ANYTHING old that's been at least half as good as the original. They all suck.

I, for one, am not looking forward to an MV remake.

Miami vice trailer right here, with many many shots of them crusing in the F430 spider...enjoy...

 

Sorry to keep posting this in every MV thread, but you guys need to understand that Michael Mann (Heat, Collateral, Ali, Last of the Mohicans)was the original creator of the show, and it is his trademarke style that made it so revolutionary, not the cheesey actors (since when did DJ and PMT become legends? Did PMT ever work again??).

He is making this movie and for that reason alone it should be held in a different catagory than all the remakes (Dukes of Hazzard). It has been his project since day one, and it will not be a watered down remake, it will be a fully realized motion picture. The TV show was the watered down version.

 

I loved the series..
Still have 25 videotapes of the show, and of course the 1st season on dvd.
I have all the episodes and just keep on watching, even visited Miami for the locations.

My mate is running the best Vice site in the world (as voted..)
A dutch site, but all in english of course, have a look at his huge database incl former people of the show at :

This series changed my life, I was 18 till 23 years old when the show was running. (1984/1989).

Can't wait to see the movie.

 

Agreed. It is Michael Mann that is the true genius here. I can remember an episode situating around an IMSA race throught the streets of Miami. Classic!

 

That's right... the episode "Florence Italy".
Incluced a nice night chase between the "F" and a Porsche 904.

 

Or the one with the bad guy driving a black Lambo Countach. I believe our very own Jeroen Krabbe starred in that one as Gina's father.

 

Did you know on this date in 1985 Phil Collins made his acting dayview as a drug dealer on Miami Vice? This was on the light rock station today as they went on to play “I Missed Again”.

Sorry guys, now you'll have that song stuck in your head the rest of the day!

 

Or perhaps you mean 'debut'?

I can very well remember Phil as the sleazy dopepusher. He pulled that one off very well.

 

You are both right...
