Jordan casts Hunger Games star in Miami Vice movie
The neon-drenched, high-octane world of 1980s crime drama is getting a glamorous and gritty modern makeover. Michael B. Jordan is leading the charge in a feature reboot of the iconic Miami Vice ’85, and the casting is already sparking major buzz with high-profile additions.
The project, a cinematic homage to Michael Mann’s classic series, is blending stylish action with intense character drama, and the creative vision is helmed by director Joseph Kosinski and screenwriter Dan Gilroy. With plans to shoot in IMAX, the production is gearing up for an ambitious visual experience.
Adding another layer of star power to the cast is the arrival of Whitney Peak. She steps into the spotlight as Michael B. Jordan’s love interest, promising to bring a fresh, captivating dynamic to the neon landscape of Miami.
Peak isn’t just lending her screen presence to the crime saga; she is also making an appearance in the epic adaptation of The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, where she will play Lenore Dove Baird. This dual involvement highlights the crossover appeal of the talent pool, ensuring a diverse set of compelling faces in the upcoming features.
The core ensemble for Miami Vice ’85 is already shaping up. Michael B. Jordan is set to portray Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs, while Austin Butler steps into the role of James “Sonny” Crockett, stepping into the shoes of Don Johnson. Adding further texture to the narrative, Alden Ehrenreich is also slated to join the cast, bringing yet another intriguing presence to the story.
This reboot isn’t just about vintage aesthetics; it’s about high-stakes storytelling. As production begins this year, the focus remains squarely on delivering a visually stunning and emotionally resonant thriller that honors its legacy while forging a new path for 80s crime fiction.
