Miami Vice remake set with Top Gun: Maverick director at the helm
Joseph Kosinksi is reportedly set to direct a 'Miami Vice' remake. The 'Top Gun: Maverick' filmmaker - who has also helped the likes of 'Tron: Legacy', 'Spiderhead' and new Brad Pitt movie 'F1' - is said to be attached for the latest big screen adaptation of the iconic 1980s show about undercover cops tackling drug dealers. As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Kosinski will direct from 'Nightcrawler' filmmaker Dan Gilroy's script, following an earlier draft from 'Top Gun: Maverick' writer Eric Warren Singer. No casting or plot details have been revealed at this time. The original show - which was created by Anthony Yerkovich ran from 1984 to 1990 on NBC - starred Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as undercover police officers Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs. Known for their pastel suits and fast cars, the duo's style had a huge impact on pop culture at the time. The series lasted for five seasons, while executive producer Michael Mann later directed a 2006 film adaptation starring Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell. Despite becoming a cult classic as the years went on, the movie version was a box office flop, grossing $165 million from a $135 million budget. Mann previously opened up on how the costumes were vital to the original show's success and building the world the characters lived in. He told The Hollywood Reporter last year: "[Crockett and Tubbs] were posturing as imposters trapping drug traffickers, wealthy buyers or anybody with some stature. "As effective practitioners in the whole drug trade, they had to have a facade. "So they were able to use these cars, boats, planes and clothes. The DEA does this all the time." Meanwhile, Mann recalled how the characters and their outfits were "designed to be political". He added: "That's the most important thing about the show. "Many of the casting decisions were intentional assaults on racial and gender stereotypes, and that's really critical. "It's not by accident that Tubbs is wearing the clothes he does or that he is a Republican — he's not a liberal — or that he's much more sophisticated and better educated than Crockett." Kosinski took a similarly thoughtful approach to upcoming blockbuster 'F1', with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton on board as a producer. The director previously told Deadline: "He's the first person I contacted three years ago. I knew for us to make it as authentic as possible, someone on the team who lives it day-in and day-out would be invaluable. "Lewis has been an incredible partner; he jumps on Zooms with me between races to go through the script, line by line, turn by turn, you know, tire compound by tire compound, to make sure that we are getting all the details right. "Beyond that, on a creative and story level, he also has input."

Daft Punk Charts A Brand New Hit Album, Though Fans Already Love The Music
Daft Punk's Tron Legacy soundtrack returns to the U.K. charts as a renamed version, earning spots on ... More the Official Dance and Soundtrack Albums rankings. INDIO, CA - APRIL 20: Guests dressed as Daft Punk performs with Arcadw Fire at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at The Empire Polo Club on April 20, 2014 in Indio, California. (Photo by Tim Mosenfelder/WireImage) Daft Punk may have disbanded years ago, but that hasn't stopped the French electronic duo from continuing to land wins on the charts. While the musicians behind the name have gone their separate ways, the brand lives on through a mix of remastered projects, remixes, and re-releases that keep the music they made alive. This week in the United Kingdom, a slightly updated take on one of the duo's most beloved works launches on a pair of rankings, giving the act yet another hit. This frame, Tron: Legacy — a project Daft Punk originally dropped more than a decade ago — makes a comeback on two U.K.-based charts. Technically, it's not a brand new release, but rather a slightly altered edition that appears to have been labeled just differently enough to be counted as a distinct charting entity. The collection has already spent time on both of the rankings it now appears on, but the new version, titled Tron: Legacy OST (for "original soundtrack"), is being treated separately by the Official Charts Company. That minor name tweak likely played a role in its eligibility this week, and it works out in Daft Punk's favor. Among the two U.K. rankings on which Tron: Legacy debuts, it performs best on the Official Dance Albums chart. The set starts at No. 21, which is a solid showing for a project that isn't technically new. The debut gives Daft Punk its twelfth appearance on the dance-only tally. In addition to performing well on the dance-specific ranking, Tron: Legacy also appears on the Official Soundtrack Albums chart this week, which is fitting. Daft Punk has now scored three appearances on that tally, and all of them are tied to Tron: Legacy in one form or another. The original Tron: Legacy soundtrack was a sizable hit in the U.K., spending seven weeks at No. 1 on this list. A companion remix project, Tron: Legacy: Reconfigured, also performed well, missing out on becoming a second leader by just one space. Even though it was tied to a blockbuster film, Tron: Legacy never earned quite the level of critical acclaim or awards recognition that some fans felt it deserved. Still, the album has become a cult favorite — not just among Daft Punk devotees, but also within the modern film score space. The soundtrack is often cited as one of the more inventive uses of electronic music for a movie. There's more to come in the Tron universe, but not from Daft Punk. A follow-up film, Tron: Ares, is on the way. The upcoming installment stars Jared Leto and Jeff Bridges to front the movie. This time around, the score is being handled by Nine Inch Nails — specifically Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who have already claimed the Best Original Score Academy Award in the past.

"Tron: Ares" Trailer Is Here
Yara Sameh 'Tron' is back more than 40 years after the original sci-fi movie hit theaters. Disney has released the official trailer for 'Tron: Ares,' the third film in the 'Tron' franchise after the 1982 original and the 2010 sequel Tron: Legacy.' Jared Leto leads the film, which includes original star Jeff Bridges back as Kevin Flynn. Leto plays Ares, one of the programs from the digital universe who is tasked to enter the real world. The cast also includes Evan Peters, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Cameron Monaghan, Sarah Desjardins, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, and Gillian Anderson. Notably, Peters plays Julian Dillinger, who shares a last name with David Warner's Ed Dillinger, the villain from the first film. The trailer gives the viewers a first look at the clash of our reality with the video game world of Tron. Opening with a high-speed chase between the police and some rogue programs, cop cars are no match for a light cycle, and one is sliced clean in half once the bike's iconic light wall is activated. Although Bridges' Kevin Flynn is never seen, his voice can be heard at the end of the trailer. As Leto's Ares is rendered into existence, Flynn tells him, 'Ready? Cause there's no going back.' 'It's really unbelievable to think we made the original in 1982,' Bridges said on stage when 'Tron: Ares' was unveiled during the 2024 D23 Expo. 'It's amazing — we never thought we would have this legacy that's continued on all these years.' It was also revealed at D23 that Nine Inch Nails, the industrial rock and electronica band founded by Trent Reznor and joined in 2016 by frequent collaborator Atticus Ross, are scoring the film. Reznor and Ross have won Oscars for their scores for 2010's 'The Social Network' and 2020's 'Soul.' They also won Grammys for their soundtracks to 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' and 'Soul.' Most recently, they scored Luca Guadagnino's hit tennis film 'Challengers.'
