Alden Ehrenreich in Miami Vice ’85

When the spotlight turns to the glittering corruption of the 1980s, a familiar face steps into the neon glow. Alden Ehrenreich has officially joined Joseph Kosinski’s highly anticipated feature film, Miami Vice ’85, adding an undeniable layer of charisma to the cast.

Ehrenreich brings a smooth, cool energy to the ensemble, pairing perfectly with the explosive chemistry promised by his co-stars. Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler have been cast as two of the titular detectives—Ricardo ‘Rico’ Tubbs and James ‘Sonny’ Crockett—setting the stage for a high-stakes exploration of glamour and moral ambiguity.

The project is built on the legendary aesthetic and narrative structure of the landmark television series that remains hugely influential on the cultural landscape. It channels the cinematic spirit of Michael Mann while revisiting the infamous atmosphere of mid-1980s Miami, transforming it into a cinematic experience.

The story itself is penned by Dan Gilroy, who has taken the reins to craft a script that delves deep into the era’s dazzling surface and underlying rot. This screenplay reinterprets earlier drafts from Eric Warren Singer, focusing on the undercover work of the two detectives navigating the toxic environment of 1980s Miami.

Beyond the actors, the production team is stacked with cinematic talent. Dylan Clark and Joseph Kosinski serve as producers, guiding the project to fruition. This collaboration ensures that the film maintains both historical fidelity and high-octane dramatic tension.

The preparation for this epic visual journey is underway. Filming is slated to begin later this year, promising a vibrant new chapter in cinematic history. Fans will get to experience the film in its full glory on the big screen, with a planned release scheduled for May 19th 2028, available in cinemas and on IMAX screens.
