Miami Vice The Movie

miamivice2.jpgNuts. Just after I throw out my white cotton pants, pink t-shirt and white jacket, word hits the street that there is going to be a Miami Vice movie. I’m giddy about this idea… mainly because the rumour is that Michael Mann will be heading up the project and Jamie Foxx, who I am suddenly a fan of, is going to be taking the role of Tubbs. I haven’t heard anything yet about who may play Crockett. Coming Soon gives us this:

Foxx says that Universal Pictures is moving forward with its big screen adaptation of hit ’80s cop drama Miami Vice, which starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas. Previously it was reported that Mann would write, direct, and produce the film. Now Foxx adds that he’s attached to star as Detective Ricardo Tubbs, played by Michael Thomas in the series. “Yeah man, it’s happening,” he told the site. He was also asked if Mann was still doing the project and he replied, “hopefully he will.”

Ummm… off the top of my head i can’t think of any other 80’s shows that have been turned into films. Any come to mind (Besides The Transformers)?
