Summary

"Top Gun: Maverick" filmmaker Joseph Kosinski is set to direct a potential 'Miami Vice' remake, alongside Dan Gilroy as the screenwriter, following the 1980s TV series about undercover detectives in South Florida. The project, originally attempted in 2006 with Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell but later flopping at $165 million, is now reportedly moving forward with Universal Pictures, featuring Kosinski's production company Monolith and Dylan Clark as a producer alongside former collaborators from 'Oblivion' and the 'Planet of the Apes' franchise. Meanwhile, Kosinski is also set to helm Brad Pitt-led racing drama "F1" later this summer, while working on an UFO conspiracy thriller for Apple.
