A new film adaptation of the 1980s TV series “Miami Vice” is adding Whitney Peak to its cast, joining Michael B. Jordan in Joseph Kosinski’s “Miami Vice ’85.” Reports also say Austin Butler is part of the project.
The movie is described as a fresh take on the stylish crime drama of the original series. Deadline reports that Alden Ehrenreich has also been added to the cast. Kosinski is directing, with a script credited to Dan Gilroy, according to Deadline. Both outlets frame the production as another attempt to translate the “Miami Vice” brand for a modern film audience, while continuing to emphasize the era’s visual and tonal style.
While the coverage aligns on the major cast and the project’s creative team, it differs mainly in how it enumerates the ensemble: Deadline provides additional casting details beyond the two headline additions. Neither outlet offers plot specifics in the provided information, focusing instead on the film’s development and lineup.
