Alden Ehrenreich Joins Miami Vice '85
Ehrenreich to star alongside Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler in Universal's reimagining of the classic 80s series, set for release on May 19, 2028

Alden Ehrenreich is set to join the cast of Universal Pictures' Miami Vice '85, a new take on the classic 80s drama series, alongside Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler. The film is being directed by Joseph Kosinski from a script by Dan Gilroy.
The film is a reimagining of the pilot episode of the original Miami Vice series and will be filmed for IMAX. The release date for the film is set for May 19, 2028. Dylan Clark is producing the film alongside Joseph Kosinski.
Alden Ehrenreich recently won a Tony Award for his role in the play 'Becky Shaw' and will next appear opposite Helen Mirren in Anton Corbijn's 'A Talent for Murder'. Ehrenreich's role in Miami Vice '85 is being kept under wraps, but the film will explore the glamour and corruption of mid-80's Miami.
## What's at stake The original Miami Vice series was known for its vibrant look and iconic soundtrack, but it was also an incredibly serious and dark police procedural. The 2006 film adaptation, directed by Michael Mann, lacked the vibrancy of the original series. Joseph Kosinski's film will aim to bring the two together, marrying the nostalgia fans have for the property with a new story.
## Why it matters Miami Vice '85 is a high-profile project that brings together some of the biggest and brightest stars of Hollywood. The film's success will depend on its ability to balance the nostalgia of the original series with a new and exciting story. With a talented cast and crew, including Ehrenreich, Jordan, and Butler, the film has the potential to be a hit.
The film's release on May 19, 2028, will be highly anticipated, and fans of the original series will be eager to see how the new adaptation turns out. With its IMAX release, the film will be a visually stunning experience, bringing the glamour and corruption of mid-80's Miami to life on the big screen.
