Miami Vice trailer
 
http://www.miamivicemovie.com/main.html

They don't mention you have to go through some shoddy Bacardi Live site to watch the trailer, but I imagine by Wednesday and the release of Donkey Kong does New York, a nice quicktime file will be in place of the crappy bacardi version.

I'm a sucker for anything Michael Mann and this one falls into that category.

there can never be enough michael mann, tho i have to say that the linkin park vs jay-z track wasn't the best selection IMO.

all in all the trailer looked like trademark mann.
i'm sure a lot of people will get reminded of collateral cos of the visual flair + foxx... not that it's a bad thing.

i had reservations about farrell being crockett at first, but if he's directed well i think he could pull it off without being ridiculous.

bring on miami vice 2006.

SWEET.

I could watch a Michael Mann production of a cooking show and be enthralled.

Trailer didn't really do it for me. "Smooth. That's how we do it." Wow, creative dialogue.

Miami Vice was cool in a very hard to capture, cheezy way. Where's all the color? Where are the pink shirts under white suits? Where's the MIAMI?

In my opinion: The tv series was from the 80s. And even back then Miami Vice was supposed to be regarded as more serious than just cheezy (time has made it more cheesier than anything). This movie is made in 2005... it's not supposed to be a retro throwback, just a tale of two cops in the corrupt underworld of miami.

Mann has also said that television made him tone down the real Miami Vice he wanted to tell, which was obviously more darker and brutal. Now he's using that opportunity with the cinematic version.

Also it's not the first time he's re-making his own work. Heat was basically a remake of LA Takedown, an early Mann movie from '89.

Just saw the trailer in the theater last night and it was much better, obviously. Although laughter could be heard and it was hard discern whether it was due to the content of the trailer, the trailer and film itself, or Colin Farrel.

I didn't really see the point in starting a new thread that would have pretty much the same title as this thread.

The new trailer came out today, gearing up to appear on the many more summer films in the coming weeks. The new trailer has more dialog and gives us a bit more of an idea about the film.

huh... maybe i am the only fan of bad boys 2... oh well.

for me, the teaser for Miami Vice absolutely kicked ass... this new full-on trailer with more dialogue... well, i'm still hopeful that the context of the movie makes the dialogue less... horrible. i'm still down on the idea and a Mann movie in Miami but hope the script isn't terrible. the poster is also sub-par...


here's hoping though... a modern-day take on the miami undercover drug scene with characters that just happen to be named Crockett and Tubbs could be awesome...

it'll be a big fuck-off movie that'll have some great action sequences but it'll just be a cut above the usual crap of summer movies. I didn't care for Bad Boys 2 at all, outside of a moment here and there.

X-Men 3 owns jew.
