Foxx & Farrell Go Miami Vice
As previously tipped here months ago… we can now officially add Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell to the list of stars resurrecting TV shows for the big screen. Foxx and Farrell will star in a movie version of the cop series Miami Vice, which will be written and directed by Michael Mann, who was an executive producer on the show that ran on NBC from 1984-89. Shooting is scheduled to begin this spring, with the movie tentatively due in theaters July 28, 2006. Other upcoming movie updates of TV shows include Cedric the Entertainer in The Honeymooners, Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell in Bewitched and The Dukes of Hazzard, with Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott, Jessica Simpson and Burt Reynolds. Jamie Foxx says of the ‘Vice’ remake: "it's going to redefine cool. You're going to see our Crockett and Tubbs suits and be like, 'I want those.' You'll see our car and you'll go, 'I want one of those.' And as for our woman, man, you're gonna be like, 'Now I gotta get me some of that.'"
