Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs are coming back — the new Miami Vice project just took a major step forward. Collider can confirm that Universal Pictures has tapped Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) to direct a new Miami Vice feature film, with Dan Gilroy (Andor, Nightcrawler) writing the script. Casting for the project has not yet begun, but Kosinski will produce along with Dylan Clark. This comes not long before Kosinski will venture to the world of high-octane sports racing for his next film, F1. The racing film stars Oscar-winners Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem, and it’s set for release on June 23. This new Miami Vice project is expected to follow Kosinski’s work on F1, but there’s currently no release date attached and no planned date for production to start.
F1 won’t be the first project for Kosinski since Top Gun: Maverick — shortly after the aviation thriller hit theaters and earned over $1 billion at the box office, Kosinski teamed up with Marvel veteran Chris Hemsworth for Spiderhead. The psychological thriller, which also stars Miles Teller, was met with a mostly negative reception, which led to scores of 39% from critics and 30% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Tom Cruise’s $1 billion-earning legacy sequel was the first movie Kosinski had directed in five years at that point, with his most recent outing coming on Only the Brave, the firefighting biopic starring Miles Teller and Josh Brolin. Kosinski is also known for his work on Oblivion, the 2013 space sci-fi epic starring Tom Cruise, and Tron: Legacy, the 2010 sci-fi sequel starring Jeff Bridges alongside Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde.
