According to Variety, Jordan is “in early talks” to play Tubbs in the movie, which is particularly inspired by the series pilot and first season (1984-85). Jordan’s next project is a remake of The Thomas Crown Affair.
In the NBC TV series pilot, New York City cop Ricardo Tubbs travels down to Miami in search of his brother’s killer and eventually teams up with local undercover detective James “Sonny” Crockett, who’s also after the same drug dealers since they killed his partner.
In the end, Tubbs transferred to Miami and became Crockett’s partner and best friend as they went on a litany of dangerous undercover missions in the hugely influential 1984-89 TV series.
Philip Michael Thomas originated the role of Tubbs in the TV series while Jamie Foxx played him in Michael Mann’s 2006 big screen reboot.
The role of Sonny Crockett has yet to be cast.
Unlike the 2006 feature film adaptation directed by Michael Mann, this Miami Vice movie will be a period piece that Universal Pictures says “explores the glamour and corruption of mid-80’s Miami,” the decade when the original NBC TV series aired.
F1 and Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosinski is directing Miami Vice, which begins shooting next year for an August 6, 2027 release date. The film will be shot in IMAX.
Miami Vice will be produced by Dylan Clark (The Batman) and Kosinski and written by Dan Gilroy and Eric Singer, based on characters created by Anthony Yerkovich from the series executive produced by Yerkovich and Michael Mann.
