Due to how long it's been since we've heard anything, I think it's safe to say that Miami Vice reboot suffered the same fate and has died too. Thank God. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll see...I had serious doubts about the 5-0 reboot back in ‘10, but I ultimately have really liked the new 5-0! So, I guess I’ll give the new Magnum a chance...same with an MV reboot if it ends up happening. But there’s a reason the originals are just that—and became instant TV icons. It’s almost impossible to re-create that kind of impact. Except for 5-0, all other past TV show reboots have failed: Bionic Woman, Knight Rider, Charlie’s Angels, etc... I watched a trailler or anything like that, about the new Magnum. Well...the new magnum in my humble opinion has no physique du role for the job. This is what scare me in a Vice reboot. By the way, Colin Farrel has no physique du role to be Crockett. Maybe for a door role. Jammie Foxx wasnt good as Tubbs too.

Administrators James Posted August 4, 2018 Administrators Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 They can't even play the "next generation" card with Magnum because how can Thomas Magnum have a Mexican son... Why is a Mexican named Magnum anyway... Should be Magnumez or some shit. And he looks un-manly. They should've hired a Magnum who looks manly, built, and has chest hair and possibly a moustache but maybe not seeing how it's the 21st century. Magnum should be making the girls wet with his macho looks and charm. Hernandez doesn't have any of these features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daytona74 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I've watched a few of the all time best episodes lately, including The Home Invaders, No Exit, and Bushido. On a good day, Michael Mann is and was an absolute genius when it comes to understanding a character's psychology, what drives them, and how they see the world. What they live for and what their struggle is. Vin Diesel has never made a film where that entire layer was believably examined, besides some throwaway heart strings scenes for good measure in between stunts. He is a popcorn action flick director, and not somebody who has any interest in the finer points. And that's what worries me. He will probably end up taking all the gratuitous fluff that Miami Vice was criticized for back in the day and create his reboot based on that, with paper thin storylines thrown in so it's not all just a one-hour stunt show. And that's why the reboot will be a disappointment for anybody who expects to see more than just a Fast&Furious:Miami. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with all of these TV shows getting revived, it wouldn't make sense that MV didn't get that treatment as well. I mean shows older than Vice have gotten a reboot or remake. It feels Vice is always behind, that everything goes much slower when it comes to releases, reboot and reunions. I'm not for the reboot, but if it's going to be made than I can't help to not be curious about how a modern version will be like. I posted this a few threads back. Whether it becomes a reality is yet to be seen. It was supposed to be scheduled for the 2018/19 year. Maybe we'll hear something new by the end of the year.

Mr. Calderon Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I dunno...after the vice movie...Michael Mann deserves much less than he used to get. At same time...i think Universal NEVER accepted the crappy results for that crappy flick and still thinks Miami Vice can make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird that the clip it's not up now on YT. DJ got asked this May about the reboot, said he had heard something about it going on at Universal.

They definitely would've had to have gotten actors by now, they should be filming the pilot right now if they want to make the schedule. -- Transcriptions of an interview of DJ talking about reboots. I can't seem to be able to find the video either, must've gotten removed from YouTube. https://torontosun.com/entertainment/television/don-johnson-sounds-off-on-miami-vice-and-nash-bridges-reboots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. Yeah maybe something like that. What most of us probably fear/expect. I have very low expectations about the reboot becoming a succes. I guess, I have thought, that maybe it could become interesting, if they created really good strong stories, mixing in something old with new, great chemistry between actors, continuing on relevant issues/headline stories in Miami currently and also one of the most important things to give what the fans are asking for. As I watched another reboot of a TV series made 9 years, after the original series ended and it was made on Netflix with the shows creator on board, all of the original cast, surroundings, but the shows creator Amy was criticized by the fans for ruining their beloved and known character making her something that the even the actress couldn't recognize and of creating stories for herself, how she wanted it to be and not in the interest of the fans.

Daytona74 Posted August 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) In response to what summer84 said, I think they already went a bit off course with the way they redrew the characters for the Miami Vice movie. Granted, if you've got different actors playing the roles, and 20 years later no less, they will always bring out something different in the character that the original actor of an original series will not have put into the role originally. But for example, Jamie Foxx kind of played Tubbs more like a Will-Smith-with-attitude kind of guy, and not like the sleek big city guy that PMT was as Tubbs. And did we really need Tubbs flying an airplane? I actually half liked Colin Ferrell as Crockett, but he was still different. No match for DJ's seasoned, suave, streetwise Crockett. It would really, really be better to leave the old characters the way they were, and do something like "Miami Vice: The Next Generation". Create characters who are the kids of Crockett, Tubbs, and maybe even Castillo. Why not. Don Johnson is right in saying that it will never be (the original) Miami Vice, but I kind of think you'd have a fair shot at something equally compelling if you play it right, and that means not trying to deliver a reimagining of the original series, but to really get the franchise into the present and show vice cops dealing with crime in Miami as it actually is nowadays. And not with Sonny and Rico, but with Billy and Rico jr. as lead characters. If you know what I mean. But of course still with all the fast cars and boats, the fashion and the music...
