Miami Vice

[grady]

Here is an interesting piece from Slate.com about the trials and tribulations of shooting Miami Vice and the ego of Jamie Foxx, now an Oscar winner conflicting with the controlling, demanding, and precise director Michael Mann.

There are no real big spoilers in the piece, but rather a discussion of two sides of the story of creating a film and dealing with a strong, dominant, and controlling director and actor whose ego grows exponentially from an award being bestoyed upon him.

Reading Mann's comments in the piece they seem very measured and somewhat terse. He's not going to bullshit about it, but he's not going to tell all and create a dramatic fued, instead, just maintain a bit of prefessionalism.
