Andrew Schulz joins Miami Vice 85
The neon glow of the 1980s is about to get a serious upgrade. A star-studded cast, anchored by Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler, is diving headfirst into the glittering, corrupt world of mid-1980s Miami in Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming film, Miami Vice ’85, set to be released on May 19th, 2028.
This cinematic reimagining is channeling the iconic aesthetic and high-stakes drama of the original television series that captivated audiences and shaped the cultural landscape. The project is being shot for the immersive experience of IMAX, promising a visual feast that captures the glamour and underlying corruption of the era.
At the heart of the action are Jordan, who will portray Ricardo Tubbs, and Butler, who steps into the role of James ‘Sonny’ Crockett. These two detectives will navigate the dazzling yet dangerous streets of Miami as they work undercover, mirroring the compelling narrative structure of the source material.
Adding further depth and electrifying energy to the ensemble is a stellar supporting cast, including Whitney Peak, Alden Ehrenreich, Camila Morrone, John Leguizamo, and Danny Ramirez. The film promises a rich tapestry of performances set against a backdrop of high fashion and gritty crime.
The story itself is penned by Dan Gilroy, drawing inspiration from an earlier draft by Eric Warren Singer, ensuring that the script maintains the pulse and pacing of classic cinematic storytelling while fitting the neon-drenched atmosphere of Miami.
Adding a dose of comedic flair to the proceedings is comedian and podcaster Andrew Schulz, who joins the crew for this ambitious production. Schulz brings his unique energy to the project, bringing a fresh perspective to the classic tale of Miami excess.
Schulz is already recognized for his work in projects like Netflix’s Tires and the live-action adaptation of Street Fighter, proving his versatility in front of the camera.
Production is slated to begin in November, signaling the start of an exciting creative journey that promises to be as stylish and intense as the era it seeks to capture.
