Miami Vice

[xcellerate]

Just the trailer alone makes me want to see it, especially when the jay-z music comes in, and the guns click with the drums:

Is this a Cockheimer movie where everything gets blowd up?

<3 explosions

 

[Asknoone]

I loved the TV series. I hope this is not a **** up.

 

[DeusExMachina]

This is made by Michael Mann, the God of crime drama. It's not gonna be some cheesy crap like the show. And I sure as hell hope he isn't going to actually include freakin Linkin Park music. But, overall the trailers look good and what Mann originally wanted with Miami Vice.

 

[Asknoone]

Cheesy crap? It was the 80's! Practically speaks for itself. But it was good all the same.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Well, the 80s was a cheesy time .

 

[Asknoone]

Yeah. But Miami Vice is still fun.

 

[jimbo118]

looks good, Mann wins.

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

Will Castillo reappear? He was cool, apart from his pock-marked face.

The Jay Z/LP song played in the trailer actually makes me entirely averse to this movie.

no actually they asked him and he sent them a rather funny/weird response:

Reportedly, when Edward James Olmos was offered to reprise his role as Lieutenant Martin Castillo in the Miami Vice movie, he sent in a VHS tape containing a 20-minute loop in which he stared silently into the camera in absolute digust

miami vice 2006 = cash cow

 

[DeusExMachina]

Once again, written and directed by Michael Mann, writer/director of Thief, Heat, The Insider, Collateral. One of the former creative forces of the Miami Vice TV show. How is this a cash cow. I doubt many people will actually see it anyway :|.

 

[CptStern]

have you watched the original show? how many police officers drive around in ferrari spiders while wearing designer suits? ..the entire premise is little more than slick stylisation ....perfect summer blockbuster

 

[Dalamari]

They took a normal Michael Mann movie and put Miami Vice on it, I don't get what it has to do at all with the show

...Have you even seen the trailer :|. It's nothing like that at all for the movie.

Michael Mann made the original show, but the movie is closer to his original idea for the show. The studio made him make the show a bit lighter and not quite as serious, but he finally got the cash to remake it as he wanted it to look from the beginning.

I'm personally very excited about the movie, it looks like another awesome Mann movie, after Heat and Collateral. And I love the HD camera he's using, it provided such a great feel to Collateral, and it does wonders for Miami.

of course not ..that stylisation was appropriate for the 80's ..nowadays it's all about grit (tailored fashion magazine grit) ..but the flashy cars and speedboats are still there

Mann is good. So are Spielberg, Howard, and Stone. But all of them have had their low points, their crap films, and their paychecks.

The trailer for this film is completely underwhelming to me. I really don't care much if this is closer to the original vision or whatever, because that doesn't necessarily spin shit into gold. =\

I haven't seen the show and I don't want to. That doesn't matter to me, Michael Mann makes good movies. From what I've seen, they're doing away with all the cheesy 80's crap like cops driving Ferraris amd wearing designer suits and made a movie much more in line with Heat.

 

[DeusExMachina]

It actually looks like a cross between Heat and Collateral. He's using the same camera techniques and color effects from Collateral.

So why call it Miami Vice.

 

[Asknoone]

The music in the trailer sucked, I might add.

 

[smwScott]

So why call it Miami Vice.

Well, they keep the same setting, characters, and basic plotline (undercover cops in the vice squad). Also, I assume the name recognition will help the marketing campaign quite a bit.

"Auto Rock" - Mogwai
"We're Not Here" - Mogwai

I really hope one of these is actually used in the film and not the end credits. Auto Rock is one of the best songs ever.

 

[Absinthe]

But isn't that all pointless if the very soul of it isn't carried over? Cheesy 80's crap it may be, but that was Miami Vice. Not Heat.

From a moral perspective, yes. Form a marketing perspective, my guess and fear is the producers could care less.
