Randy Says Crockett and Tubbs Are Not "Gaudy And Sock-less" In MIAMI VICE!!


Merrick (merrick@aintitcool.com) can feel "it" coming in the air, tonight! "It"?! Feel what coming?!



Randy wrote in after a second screening of Michael Mann’s MIAMI VICE.

This one went down in Long Beach (I love Long Beach! I want to move there – has anyone out there eaten at The Long Beach Café?). If Randy’s time keeping is accurate, sounds like Mann trimmed about 15 minutes from the film since its last iteration (which ran 2 ½ hours).

This review is interesting because it came from someone with low expectations, who ended up pretty much liking what he saw. This is an important obstacle for MIAMI VICE to overcome; the film doesn’t seem to have the buzz/positive vibe that I would’ve expected it to develop by now. I saw its trailer in theaters recently, and people laughed when the title popped in.

I think some of this may be due to people misremembering the television series, whose pastel visuals and ultra-stylization overshadow how nihilistic the show really was. Also, many folks (not AICNers) still don’t “get” that this film is a re-working of the original concept, rather than a blind exaltation of its more kitschy elements. So, they’re misremembering the original series, and misinterpreting the new film that’s based on a show they don’t recall correctly to begin with. A tricky scenario for Universal marketing to address, and potentially catastrophic pitfall at the box office. <H2>This is just my perception of what’s going on…my take could be completely wrong.


Here’s Randy…

</H2>

This guys is right about one thing, the movie has to overcome misconceptions about the old TV show, that it was something kitschy or cheesy because of the pastel fashion eighties thing or the "glamourization" of cops - never mind that they were undercover... The show was in fact very serious, even somewhat dark.

Thats because the speedboats are central to the plot of how the drugs are shipped,it also emphasised the struggle of the undercover cop and those they work with questioning how far they went along with some awesome action,just about perfect really

Look at my new avvy stupid!

[Isildur´s Heir]

This is one of the summer movies i´m more hyped about.
Mann is one of the finest directors around (i would love to see him taking a crack at a comic book movie) and no one knows Miami Vice better than him (he produced it), Farrell is a great actor and Foxx doesn´t hurt either.

Besides, i love Linkin Park song that runs in the trailer :up:

[NOFX]

Damn I just notice the new trailer only 1:30, Im hoping there will be a full length 2:30 Trailer!

[hey yo its sean]

Awful trailer.

I counted six speedboat shots...
Yeah, you've got terrible taste.

[Master Chief]

I love Mann. He is f**king incredible. I like the hot chicks dancing in his moofies. :up:

Because my opinion is different from yours? My God, you are pathetic :D:up:

[The Storm]

Farrell can pull the white suit off! My anticipation for this film is growing, especially with the new photos.

[KenK]

Nothing to say, just agreeing with The Storm's avatar!

[Infamy]

Trailer didnt really do that much for me to be honest...but its Mann! and Farrell and Foxx can be cool as a block of ice in a really really cold freezer in the arctic (ok so thats not funny) so ill give it a go it looks cool anyway. is that Maggie Q? im in love with that woman after seeing "that" dress in MI3

It's Gong Li

[The Storm]

A good year for Asian actresses breaking into mainstream Hollywood. Memoirs of a Geisha, MI3 and now Miami Vice. I think this film could be one of the biggest of the summer.

Glad you agree KenK!

[Infamy]

It's Gong Li

Really? kinda looked like Maggie Q for a second there, thanks pointing that out ill keep a look out for her.

[Steelsheen]

really looking forward to this film too :up:

and having Gong Li with this film is like icing on the cake

(personally, i think Gong Li should've played the lead in Geisha. i find her prettier than Zhang Ziyi)

[The Storm]

Ah but she was brilliant as Hatsumomo, she stole every scene. She is memorable because she played it so well.

[hey yo its sean]

Because my opinion is different from yours?
Exactly. The trailer is good, and you are wrong. Simple as that.

[Carmine Falcone]

Exactly. The trailer is good, and you are wrong. Simple as that.

So it is true, you're pathetic. :D

[Van Petrol]

Looks good...

What version is it of "Numb" they use in the trailer, it doesn't sound like the original version?

[Hunter Rider]

Looks good...

It's the version that is combined with Jay Z's Encore from their collab album

[hey yo its sean]

So it is true, you're pathetic. :D
And you're from Holland, but I don't hold that against you.

Foxx's girlfreind saying "Im a fraid im going to lose you" and another piece of dialogue right at the beginning that I didnt pick up.

[Darthphere]

Wow I just saw it again on MTV. Correction: The girlfreind says id die if anything happened to you.

Hopefully the commercials will make people understand that this movie wont be like Bad Boys 2

Maybe i'm in the minority, but those shots of Tubbs and Crockett being thrown as things explode behind them.. They're kind of whack. They seem out of place.

Looks like an episode of "COPS" with it's hand held pixelated look.
I hope Michael Mann goes back to his Manhunter days with great color contrasts and camera filters.
Might be good though. I liked Collateral a lot.

[Prognosticator]

I can't wait for this movie! The trailer gave me an adrenaline boost, but "linkin' park"?!?!...are you kidding me that they chose THAT song for the trailer??? I know they used the remix but seriously, that alone could hurt the movie!

[Prognosticator]

Other than that, it looked pretty kick-A!

[The Spot]

Collateral kicked mucho arse. I will check this out, I don't see it sucking. They could have done A LOT worse with this show-remake.

[Prognosticator]

Collateral kicked mucho arse. I will check this out, I don't see it sucking. They could have done A LOT worse with this show-remake.

Here's the thing...Michael Mann doesn't make crappy movies! He's not Oliver Stone, throwing hit, miss, hit hit, miss...he's consistent, and if you watch the documentary on the Collateral DVD you know he pours himself into every detail of the movie, making sure it is unique and special.

This movie might be a little more flashy and slam-bang, but it won't be bad. I think Heat is one the BEST modern movies ever, and Mann gets uber-street cred for that one movie alone.

[The Spot]

Heat is an awesome movie. :up:

[Darthphere]

Im really hyped for this movie.

Jonesy Says MIAMI VICE Is "Pretty Good", But Could Be "Great"!!




Merrick (merrick@aintitcool.com) here...



I really want to like this movie…but I’m not sure what to think about this movie based on what I’ve seen so far…even though I love Michael Mann’s work in general…all of which makes me pretty neurotic and confused…more so than usual, anyway…which I don’t know how to deal with…damn it!



Here’s a test screening report from Jonesy (the Nostromo’s mascot?)




MINOR SPOILERS FOLLOW!




Hello Harry, this is my first time writing in.
I saw a test screening of Michael Mann's MIAMI VICE last night and I gotta say it was pretty good.
The cut we saw was about 2 1/2 hours long with temporary music and sound effects. The beginning sequence where Sonny and Rico were on their latest case seemed a bit confusing and pointless. It didn't really introduce the characters at all and didn't have any effect on rest of the film. I would imagine it would be cut completely, or would have something totally different in its place because it really served no purpose. It's not long though until some undercover FBI agents are outed by one of there own during a drug deal and Sonny and Rico go undercover. That's where the story really begins.
The camera work in this movie is amazing. It's shot in a lot of the same style as Collateral. The shots over water with the speed boats are especially beautiful. There is good solid acting all around, but I think some people might not like some of the dialogue.
Colin's character in particular has a few lines that seem like they're supposed to sound cool, but don't. I didn't mind it though. I thought it added to the realism, which I think is what the film makers were going for...I hope. It was nice to see Michael Mann get away from the television show though. In fact, I think this might appeal to people who weren't fans of the TV show more than people who were. I for one hated the show, but that could have more to do with not being able to stand Don Johnson. Then again, I can't stand Jamie Foxx either. But I could deal with him here. Jamie Foxx's character was the more sensible out of the two. Colin was the more dangerous one. Like Lethal Weapon but to a lesser extent.
The biggest problem I had with the movie was the plot. It was pretty straight forward and predictable. It was good, I just would have liked a little more mystery or some twists. The action in the movie leans more on the realistic side of things.There's no over the top car chases or explosions. I found that aspect of it to be quite refreshing.
Overall I thought it was pretty good, but with proper editing it could be a great. Maybe not The Last Of The Mohicans great, but great.


One interesting thing to note here is that one of the more recent reviews (http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=23074) we ran of this film specified a running time of 2:15. So...what...Mann added 15 minutes back into the movie? He's toying with different versions?

[Cinemaman]

Strange, anyway I'd like Mann to make it to be 2:15, what is enough and not so long.

Hope movie will be awesome :up:

Nonpoint cover song 'In the Air Tonight' official lead single for Miami Vice


"Jamie Foxx, Colin Farrell, and Nonpoint; what do these three things have in common, you ask? They will all be featured in one of the biggest movies of the summer, Miami Vice. That's right! Twenty-two years after Phil Collins' legendary hit "In the Air Tonight" graced the very first episode of Miami Vice, Nonpoint's reinvention of the song will serve as the featured track for four time Oscar nominee Michael Mann's big screen adaptation of the hit TV show. Nonpoint's take on "In The Air Tonight" will not only be featured in the film but will also serve as the lead single from the Miami Vice soundtrack. A video for the track is set to start filming in the coming weeks with a director to be determined. Meanwhile, Miami Vice will hit theaters on July 28th with the soundtrack's release date yet to be announced."

Just wondering why you think this since you usually have good judgement.

I don't go to many movies, because the amount of hours I work and the shifts I work only allow me to go to the local cheapie on the weekend when they have movies on at midnight, which no other theatre within my range does.
Well I have the luxury of watching most of my movies at work with my clients my job not too shabby:D But what movies of Mann did you thought was ok?

I enjoyed The Last of the Mohicans a lot.

That's the one movie I saw that I really liked.

However, his tv show Crime Story was pretty good as well.

I don't know what you mean.

He directed that movie. If that doesn't qualify as one of his movies, I don't know what would. How are you defining as one of his movies?

I really haven't seen his movies personally, because my schedule doesn't allow for it, but the ones that I see that he produced and directed were ok.

To give you an idea of how hard it is for me to find time for movies, the last movie I saw before Superman Returns is Batman Begins and the movie before that was Star Wars III - Revenge of the Sith.

I can't really recall any other movies I've seen.

Thats exactly how I feel about the spidey movies but with miami vice,we've got a huge hit.

I dont understand comments like this, myself. The guy created the Miami Vice tv show, I am pretty sure he might have an idea to make sure the movie has the same vibe. Also, the guy's grown as a film maker since he created the show as well.

No, his show "Robbery Homicide Division"

Heres a new review


Summer Movie Review
MIAMI VICE

This is not your father's Miami Vice.

Or it's not my Miami Vice, which premiered 22 years ago in my 19th year.

And it's certainly not Michael Mann's old Miami Vice, which Michael Mann never directed. (The pilot was directed by hour-long pilot directing king, Thomas Carter.)

Mann & Yerkovich's Miami Vice TV show was a show that started off as innovative and quickly was so imitated and analyzed that it was kitsch before its third season arrived. Miami Vice arrived three years into the run of Hill Street Blues, which had broken ground by being raw and handheld and very personal. Vice took cops who drank, and farted, and suffered loss and added pastel blue and pink paint, working the canvas of 1983's Scarface from the side of the undercover cop.

By 1995, Mann had delivered the best movie slick cops & robbers movie of all time, Heat. After achieving that, he seemed to be looking for a different kind of challenge. The Insider started showing a more rough hewn style, with rough close-ups, imperfect exteriors and, as always, brilliant acting. Mann broke out the digital camera for the first time in Ali, mixing film and digital in the fight scenes, which I still feel are the best ever shot even if the story structure of the movie had a bit to be desired. Mann got the feel of the fight.

2004's Collateral was the first studio movie ever released that was shot almost all in digital. (Dion Beebe and others on the show claimed that 40% of the movie was on conventional film, but later fessed up to the fact that it was almost all digital. Like Miami Vice, there are still a few things you simply can't get done digitally… but the list gets shorter every year.)

Mann took a fairly conventional piece of genre writing, a great gimmick and a major movie star combined with a budding movie star. And then he made it the way he wanted to make it.

And now, Miami Vice.

Miami Vice starts with a bang and rarely stops for a breath. Even when it gets quiet, those moments are packed with emotion or evil or sex.

Miami Vice is that summer movie that a lot of people have been waiting for, something for the adults to see, something that demands that you pay attention, something that doesn't pre-chew your experience for you and drop it into your beak like a mama bird, something with adults having relationships (with their clothes on and off) and dealing with some serious issues… and lots of guns & drugs.

There is not a single identifying thing from the TV series in the body of the film except for the character names and the fact that they deal with vice. The first thing that strikes you is the visual style, which is completely different. This is Mann & Beebe's Collateral-eyed view of the world, but instead of the dingy gray of Los Angeles, there are the bright skies, blue seas, and thick, clouded rainy atmosphere of South Florida, alternatively beautiful and ugly and magically real.

The second big variation is the storytelling which, unlike MVTV, or really any television series, doesn't spend much time telling us where the ride is going. Basil Exposition is on permanent vacation… no need for Sir Ian here. Mann's characters - he wrote the script also - are people of actions, not verbosity. They live what they are feeling, thinking and doing on the screen. This may be a little jarring in the first 15 minutes, as you try to catch up with exactly what's going on. But you will catch up. And by the third act in particular, the pay off will be that you feel like you are in the experience and not watching the experience.

Mann has dealt with sex before in his work. Most of his movies have an interesting sexual undercurrent. But here he lets his character get down to business. As a result, we get to learn a lot more about Jamie Foxx than I ever expected to in his scenes with Naomie Harris. (Seeing Mr. Farrell and Ms. Gong exposed is not such a surprise.) But in the Foxx scenes, we also get one of the most beautifully shot acts of intimacy to be shown on screen in a long time. Mann, as is so often the case, gets to the heart of getting busy without needing to reach for the more graphic imagery.

On the other hand, give the guy a gun, and he'll blow some holes in people.

My greatest surprise pleasure in this film was Mann's casting choices and the execution (figurative and often literal) of his actors. It's always fun to see Barry Shabaka Henley in Mann's projects. But here, Mann came up with a whole new group of players. The brilliant Ciarin Hinds is here subverting his Irish accent for a somewhat southern one. In fact, Mann had a bunch of English and Irish actors (Tony Curran, Eddie Marsan) playing Miamians. He also had Me, You & Everyone We Know's and Deadwood's John Hawkes on board. And even Domenick Lombardozzi, who is suddenly familiar after a multi-show guest stint on Entourage. Elizabeth Rodriguez is a terrific surprise as the Gina Calabrese character, neither brunette nor hisp-talian. She doesn't get a load of lines, but she can handle a gun and when she gets a line, she can handle that too.

But the biggest joys were, first, Gong Li, in what is easily her best, most raw performance yet in English. Mann didn't just want a beautiful woman, but he wanted a performance that stripped her to her freckles. And he gets it. It starts a little chilly and accent distracting. But as the movie progresses, this turns into a really lovely and intimate piece of work from this actress.

But even more surprising were Luis Tosar and John Ortiz as the baddest bad guys in the piece. Tosar is known more in Spain and Ortiz hasn't really gotten The Break before, but Mann's choices with both of them were to take characters that could have been over the top and ratcheted them down to dry, smart, scary performances. Tosar plays the Kingpin, Jesus Montoya, who doesn't move much, has a fifth level of hell beard and facial hair (the most powerful on-screen eyebrows since Belushi) and an absolutely terrifying calm. And Ortiz, who plays the Local Guy who runs operations for Montoya in Miami, has the showier role and works it with real glee, but never becomes an evil movie caricature. It really is a brilliant performance. I was thinking, early on, "I guess Bardem (who loved working with Mann in a tiny Collateral role) was busy." But by the end of the picture, I was glad that one of the world's greatest actors wasn't there because these guys were so brilliant and so unexpected.

Telling you much about the storyline is not only a spoiler, but an irritant. You kinda know already. They go deep, deep, deep undercover in the most dangerous possible situation. Romance, guns, drugs, boats, planes, and trouble ensue.

In the meanwhile, Mann & Beebe get some exterior images that literally took my breath away. The digital look of the film becomes familiar within 20 minutes or so and offers the imagery of the real streets of Miami and South America, and Havana in colors that speak to the real beauty of those places, not the movie dream of them. And you know you are the hands of masters.

The first acts drags a little, though I suspect on second viewing, it will go down more easily. And there is the great feeling I have walking away from the screening room. This movie will play and play and play and play.

No, it's not quite Heat. I do look forward to Mann working in this digital format with stars as iconic as Pacino and DeNiro. Foxx is solid as a rock here. And Colin Farrell, who gets a little clumsy when he has to do speeches with his American accent, gives Mann exactly what was needed when we feel the moment in his eyes or gestures.

For me, this a big step from Collateral, which was a gimmick movie… a good gimmick, some good actors, a great visual styling (the digital production is not the gimmick I mean), but ultimately, it is a clock film with a forced relationship that has to stick to that clock and a massive movie star playing an ice cold killer. Miami Vice is more free to roam. And because of it, the box office might not be as strong. On the other hand, it might be stronger, because this, to me, is a much more interesting, challenging, better movie.

I kind of expect it to split critics and audiences. But I also expect it to age really well over time. And that is the price that Michael Mann so often pays for being Michael Mann. Thank goodness he is willing to do it for all of us.

Another review:

Nice Vice

Michael Mann's movies are so good and so Rolls Royce that when a new one comes up 8, it's an easy 9.5 or 10 by everyone else's standards. If you know his stuff, you know what I'm saying is true.

I'm not using the Rolls Royce analogy casually. The elation I felt yesterday from Miami Vice (Universal, 7.2 wasn't just about tromp-down speed or engineering or a perfectly-tuned engine -- that's standard content in any Mann film.
And it wasn't quite about the sadness and the soul, which is there but not in the abundant qualities found in Heat and Collateral and The Insider.

I'm talking about the fumes. The fumes of Miami Vice -- the aroma, the grit, the atmospheric stuff, the digital flavor of Dion Beebe's here-and-there photography -- are superb (and sometimes in a realm so special I can't quite describe it), and this alone makes it the supreme commercial "ride" movie of the summer.

By this I mean my kind of two-hour popcorn movie...an exquisitely configured, not-too-taxing thing for people who are smarter, hipper and more seasoned than the mainstream squealies who went nuts for Pirates 2. It sounds elitist to say this, but...

I'm talking about a crime movie that just roars in and does the job, but lingers on so many different little moods and tones and accents and side-excursions that, like all first-rate films, its clearly up to a lot more than just "story" (and the more I write about movies the less I know what that term really means).

I was never that much into Mann's Miami Vice back in the mid '80s, so I wasn't sitting there yesterday afternoon going, "This is new" or "that's cooler". Forget Don Johnson and the other guy whose name I've never been able to remember, and who I'd rather not look up on the IMDB because that will somehow kill the mood.

Miami Vice is right table-slam now...a combination of big expense (over $125 million), sweat-zone cool and wow photography, all focused on a kind of saxophone-solo story about a couple of Miami detectives looking to burn some very serious drug dealers by way of an undercover operation -- a piece of elaborate theatre in which the cops pretend to be bad guys.

The way it's been shot and cut it's mainly about set-up for the first half (or do I mean two-thirds?)...mutterings, maybes, sex, whispers, half-understood's and the radiant Gong Li, who is back at the top of the list of all-time hotties with this film -- and then Big Payoffs during the last 30% or 35%.

Colin Farrell's blonde hair in this film is much better -- greasier, more lived in, more in synch with his age and his Irish-ness -- than it was in Oliver Stone's Alexander . Sounds like a mundane nonsequitur, but sometimes the authority of movies can be measured by such things.

Drink a strong cappucino and be well rested before you see this thing -- you'll need to pay close attention. All good movies are calibrated to stay a wee bit in front of what you think you know is going on -- if this isn't done boredom sets in. But my feeling during the first half (and I'm describing this with respect) was along the lines of, "Whoa, wait a minute...what'd he say? Is this Haiti or...? Rewind those last two lines...oh, I get it...I mean, at least I'm on it."

Beebe's photography (like Collateral, most of Vice was shot with a Thomson Viper) is, as you may expect, nervy as s*** -- at times conventionally appealing, at times "pushed" and flecked with grain, but always sensual and photochemically "real" in a way that never stops being exciting or enticing in some "off" way.

Who, exactly, are Farrell's Sonny Crockett and Jamie Foxx's Ricardo Tubbs? Foxx/Tubbs seems like a relatively at-ease guy in love with his lady (Naomie Harris) but Farrell/Crockett is the kind of guy who doesn't know what kind of guy he is outside of the rush of the job.

That's what makes his falling in love with Gong Li's Isabella, the girlfriend of big-time drug lord named Arcangel de Geez Montoya (played by Luis Tosar, a balding, bearded guy with the most piercing eyes I've seen anywhere in a long time), so I-don't-know-what...odd, surprising, curious, unexpected. A man in the grip of something that won't let go and is about a lot more than tumescence.

There's a big heartbreak factor that comes out of the Farrell-Gong relationship at the finale, but let's be honest and admit it's not as emotionally touching as Tom Cruise's Vincent asking Jamie Foxx if anyone will notice his body sitting on an L.A. Blue Line train in Collateral, and it's not as touching as Al Pacino holding the dying Robert De Niro's hand at the end of Heat. That's one reason why this movie is an 8 on the Mann scale.



The sex scenes (Farrell/Gong's in particular) have deep-down currents of feeling and longing that other directors wish for before they're about to shoot their own. Dear God, let me find something between my actors that will make the audience forget the carnality, or at least put it into some kind of spiritual perspective.
All Mann movies are beautifully acted, and each and every supporting Vice actor, no surprise, is a stand-out. The big bad guys (Tosar, John Ortiz) are fearsome. Ciarin Hinds is playing a dullard but it's good to experience him nonetheless. Barry Shabaka Henley, the jazz-club owner who got shot in the forehead twice by Cruise in Colateral, is good as an upper-level Miami cop. John Hawkes, an anemic-looking actor with a scuzzy goatee and an aura of weakness, plays a lower-level criminal during the opening few minutes. Domenick Lombardozzi (Find Me Gulity, Entourage) is good as another cop.

But please, please see this film for Gong Li, if for no other reason than it will help you forget how poorly she was used as the tortured wicked b***h-sister in Memoirs of a Geisha. This is one of the sexiest and most soulful performances by an actress in any medium in a very long time. I couldn't quite understand everything she said, to be perfectly honesty (her accent is a problem) but ooh, mama, the stuff she exudes during her scenes with Farrell.

I don't want to get into the story any more than I have. It's a film about lying -- selling them, discovering them and the heavy cost of all lies.

I'm going to let this go and see Vice again on Thursday and get into it a bit more on Friday, but no one can watch this film and feel burned. The people who've been whispering about this film not being the thing that it could have been haven't seen it, not really. They haven't let it in, I mean. Or they're just being hard-assed.

Like I said, the highlight of the set-up, exposition, planning, and planting-the-seeds portion, which is something like 65% to 70%, is the romantic white-water ride taken by Farrell and Gong. I imagine there may be some who will feel a bit lost or uncertain in terms of what's actually going down at this or that point. I did at times, but there's something to be said every so often for the feeling of "not knowing."

This is a Michael Mann film - it baffles me that any film fan wouldn't need to only know that much to see this movie.

Spot on. At that time, Miami Vice was groundbeaking TV and blazed the path for all of the polic dramas that have come since, including the likes of The Shield.

Obviously, when the old TV show is wacthed now, it does seem a bit dated since the police dramas of today are allowd to go so far. However, it does not change the fact that Miami Vice was groundbreaking police drama at the time.

hm... well, if you'd read the entire post, instead of "conveniently" ignoring the rest of it, you'd see that i also mentioned all the backlash towards just about every tv show that's being 're-imagined' for the screen. my point was, for some reason, you guys choose to ignore the fact that this is a remake of a tv show (a subject that always brings up bad feelings on this site), starring Farrel and Foxx (two actors that normally get flamed on this site), and the new movie has little to do with the original show.

but, for whatever blind reason, you guys are just eating this up. i mean, i like micheal mann movies, too, but everything about this movie so far screams bad to me.

How you can compare Miami Vice to the like of the Charlie's Angels movies and Starsky and Hutch is beyond me. Hence me "conveniently" ignored it. For one, they're terrible movies. Secondly, they're tongue-in-cheek parodies. There's no comparison. Did either get serious treatment from a reputable writer/director? Huh?

But for whatever reason, this doesn't capture your interest. 4 overtly positive reviews mean a lot more to me than how you think it looks, anyway,

Michael Mann is making the film he wanted the old TV show to be. It's his material...his right.

[Darthphere]

Yeah, just like George Lucas............

[bluejake01]

Yep...It's his right to screw it up entirely. I have seen what George Lucas did to his own intelectual property and didn't care for it much. Michael Mann on the other hand has ALWAYS impressed me. He has the right to reimagine his own material, and I think it looks like he did a great job. Mr. Credible is assuming it will suck without even seeing it...I pity people that don't give things a chance.

[Darthphere]

Im excited for this movie and im a big fan of the old tv show.

[reggiebar]

wrong. gone with the wind can be summed up in a two minute trailer... the whole lord of the rings trilogy can be summed up in a two minute trailer... collateral had some nice trailers to it. the miami vice trailers are just not good. don't make excuses.

No. Michael Mann films do not translate well to trailers. I did not state anything about LOTR or Gone With The Wind. However, I did use the example of how no one saw HEAT in the theaters because the tone of a Michael Mann film is what makes it unique. That tone simply doesn't translate well to a trailer.

Excuses? I don't need to make any excuses for Michael Mann or his body of work. He is one of the best at what he does (especially the police/crime genre) and Miami Vice will be no exception.

BTW, the trailers for Collateral were not good.

You "believe" that the trailers for Miami Vice are so bad, because you seem to be stuck on the look of the old TV show. If you were able to separate the look/style of the old show, you might see "some" of the tone that translates to the trailer. Note how I said some of the tone, because Michael Mann's film tones just don't translate into a trailer that the common movie audience has been accustomed.

BTW, it is not wise to prejudge a movie you haven't seen because of one random review of the film (it gives the impression that you can't think for yourself and are a little sheep). Also, I highly doubt that you even truly remember the tone of the old TV show, because it was very gritty for its time. Rent some DVDs of the old show and you will get a clue. This movie is not set in the 80s, so why would Mann keep the same type of music and style of clothing from that period?

[Phaser]

I've never seen the TV show, but Miami Vice is hands down my most anticipated movie of the summer simply because it's written and directed by Michael Mann. As if Heat and The Insider hadn't floored me enough, Man hit the sledgehammer once again with Collateral. Not only do his crime-drama films have smart, intriguing plots with depth and complex characters, but also some of the coolest, grittiest, meanest gunfights ever captured on celluloid. I've heard the action in Miami Vice surpasses even that of Heat and Collateral. :up:

The only similarities between the movie and the tv show is the character names, the fact that it's in Miami, the characters act and dress hip, and their personal lives often get mixed up with business.

Mann must be a big Audioslave fan. I remember that "Shadow on the Sun" was in Collateral.

That was the song right before they went into that azn club right?

[bluejake01]

The only similarities between the movie and the tv show is the character names, the fact that it's in Miami, the characters act and dress hip, and their personal lives often get mixed up with business.

I am really hoping you meant this tongue in cheek.

No, it was when Max stops and they watch the Cayotes cross the street. :confused: Unless that was before the club. I can't remember.

Yeah, it was.

Kickass avatar NOFX. This movie is going to be awesome. I actually just checked the updated site.....man, is it great. I'm happy to see, and a little surprised (since I've never seen it) an Adults only version of the site.

And no......it doesn't have porn. Although that would have been cool too.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Hey, NOFX, you do realize you have that quote wrong? It's "...how WE do it". Maybe not a big deal but the movie does focus on the fact that the two leads pretty much depend on each other, i.e. teamwork.

This movie may alienate fans of the TV show because Miami Vice was so much a product of the 80's that making the movie in modern times won't have that 80's Reagan era look to it, and plus there won't be any Phil Collin songs.

I am willing to accept changes.

- Because the movie looks so badass.
- Because Michael Mann is behind it.
- Because I am hungry for a good movie this summer. We only had 1 good movie so far in July, and like 4 for the entire summer.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, honestly.....it's for a new generation, isn't it? Trying gain NEW fans with it, I would guess.

And yeah...Warhammer's right....I mean.....**** it looks badass.

Uh? Miami Vice was about the 80's because it was made in the 80's, same as this Miami Vice is about modern times because it is made in modern times. I don't understand why the fact that it is modern -- just as the TV series was modern at it's time -- is supposedly going to turn people off. I was never a fan of the 80's -- music, fashion, culture, etc. wise -- so a modern update is a good thing to me. :up:

It's the two hour pilot of the TV series.

8/7c Saturday, July 22
MIAMI VICE: UNDERCOVER
Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx host a three-hour Miami Vice event that takes you back in time with the original 2-hour Miami Vice pilot - now in HD! - and up to the present with an original featurette on acclaimed director Michael Mann's new take on his own '80's classic. Don't miss a car chase, explosion, Don Johnson's infamous wardrobe, or a special sneak peek at this summer's hottest blockbuster... Miami Vice!

Yeah, the Phil Collins version is much better, and it isn't even really that dated so it could have been used again.

This new version...there is too much going on. The Collins version was much more sinister and building, and much more effective with the small amount of instrument activity. And this new version blows its load to quickly, we get no tense buildup... :down:down

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Meh....it's a rock version. It's good, but there's always the original.

The original is always better but I like this version also.

February 10, 2005 - IGN FilmForce was advised by a source that two veterans of Michael Mann films – specifically Wes Studi (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0836071/) and Danny Trejo (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001803/) – were up for roles in the writer-director's big-screen remake of Miami Vice (http://filmforce.ign.com/moremovies/objects/55822.html?fromint=1).



Studi appeared in Mann's Heat and Last of the Mohicans, while Trejo was a member of Robert De Niro's (http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/586/586813p1.html#) crew in Heat.

We asked Mr. Trejo's reps at Amsel, Eisenstadt & Frazier Talent Agency if he was up for the role of Lt. Martin Castillo, which was played on the original series by Edward James Olmos.

While not confirming that Trejo's part would be Castillo, AEF did advise IGN that "our office is currently in discussions regarding the project and Danny Trejo. ... He is under consideration for two roles in the project."

Mr. Studi's management – the ironically named Michael Mann Talent Agency – would not confirm or deny that Studi had been approached about Miami Vice (http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/586/586813p1.html#), except to coyly suggest the fact that the actor has collaborated with Mann twice before should speak for itself.

Studi has appeared in Deep Rising, Mystery Men, Geronimo and the PBS telepic Skinwalkers. Trejo's credits include the Spy Kids series, From Dusk Till Dawn, Con Air and Once Upon a Time in Mexico (http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/586/586813p1.html#).

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Okay.......

[Cosmic]

I only have vague memories of Miami Vice, but I watched the pilot episode last night, and loved every minute of it. The main thing I remember from watching it as a kid, is the signature style, which has obviously been carried over to the film, with some other nice touches, like the shot of Tubbs flying over Haiti, from one of last night's clips.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

lol...what do you mean? He was great. He's got swagger, man.

Jamie Foxx? Nah, he's waaaay to full of himself. I've seen many things were he just has to steal the spotlight from someone. Plus him all dancing around and doing whatever it was with his mouth to make that music. He also has a tendency to say stupid things. Not to try and get upon a touchy subject, but his whole support of that murdering scum Tookie Williams didn't help either.

I still think he's a good actor, and he's been in some great movies, but I don't have to like the actor. I go to Miami Vice and hopefuly enjoy it. I can usually seperate the art from the artist.

Terence Howard would have been a much better Tubbs.

British actress NAOMIE HARRIS turned down the chance to get naked for a shower scene with JAMIE FOXX in MIAMI VICE because she didn't feel it required her to strip. Instead the 28 DAYS LATER actress insisted director MICHAEL MANN hired a body double to shoot the steamy shower scene with Oscar-winner Foxx, who didn't have the same nudity concerns. She says, "When I arrived to do the scene, he (Foxx) was amazing at calming me down... He was there, buck-naked, and he had tied his nether regions in a little sack with a bow tied around it.
"But you're seeing a body double in the shower scene... I don't think that's part of my job as an actress."

My thoughts: Too bad Harris herself wasn't nude in the scene. Many kids are in love with her from her role in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. They would have paid to see Miami Vice just for the scene.

Currently in Rottentomatoes.com Miami Vice has a rating of 90% :D :up:

[Triligors]

Can't wait. Love Michael Mann's movies. Collateral was a hit.

Also, Michael Mann used to executive produce the show and wrote an episode as well. So, it should be pretty faithful to the original show- unlike the other recent silver screen adaptations.

[Manny Calavera]

I hope this movie is as good and "cool" as Collateral was.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I'm watching MV the show now. Got the first two seasons for $35. Good show, well done all around, and very dated obviously. Awesome cinematography and music, and Crockett is a pretty cool cat.

I'm really eager to see this film. The previews look good, the reviews have been great, and I love how its filmed much like Collateral. I hope we get to hear Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight" as they're driving down the road.

I have yet too see a great movie this summer!!! SR was okay, same with POTC2. Da Vinci Code was good but not enough to call it great! MI:3 was close to being great its just I cant stand Tom Cruise anymore and I think the rest of the world would agree with me!

The movie itself looks perfect to me thus far, so hopefully hearing that song will be an extra bonus. :) :up:

[PowersOfMind]

I hope Miami Vice is great. I love Micheal Mann's films(Heat, Collateral my faves). If this film is great then it will top off my love of some of the films this summer.

I do have to wonder if Miami Vice will knock Pirates out of the top spot... might be a strech sence the film is rated R. I think I'll have to make Friday a double feature day with Pirates and Miami Vice.
