Foxx Headed to Miami
Miami Vice that is.

October 04, 2004 - Latino Review got a chance to speak with Jamie Foxx while the latter was doing press for his forthcoming release, Ray. The site asked Foxx about the rumors that he'll be playing Detective Ricardo "Rico" Tubbs in Universal's Miami Vice feature film.


"Yeah man, it's happening," Foxx confirmed. And will Foxx's Ali and Collateral director Michael Mann helm the big-screen version of the TV series he executive produced? Foxx thinks "hopefully he will."

In related news, Moviehole reports a rumor that "Mann would like Tom Cruise to play Sonny Crockett. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but it wouldn't be surprising if Mann wanted Pearly Whites, having apparently got along well together on Collateral."

Cool , I really want to see the movie version of vice city.

Not quite the same thing. I am not a big Foxx fan so I don't know about this.

My hope is that they expand on the style of the show and embrace a greal deal more substance with the characterisation, whilst omitting some of the music to montage that personified the original series.

You never know Doomed, as long as it has some of the elements of the show in it. I have not been real impreesed with the T.V. mad into movies lately if at all so....
