UPDATED: Here's the teaser in glorious Quicktime, with no Flash or Bacardi:

It's a hassle to get to -- the Miami Vice website sends you to the Bacardi website to see it -- and it's in Flash, but here it is:

I think it looks great aside from that crappy music. Mann's visual style is definetley there. The main reason why this movie is gonna rock is because RZA is doing the score.

It's Michael Mann, so I'm there. And thankfully the teaser appears to confirm that this is a serious movie adaptation. Not a comedic take on the material like Charlie's Angels or Dragnet(although I did enjoy the latter).

GrimTangent
12-12-05, 06:26 PM
I'll see it opening night. Michael Mann directing makes it a no-brainer, a mullet on Colin Farrell is just a bonus.
I'm glad that it's not going to be anything like the show. We should just forget about the 80s.

You make an interesting point Jack. When you consider the source material and how it was presented, one would think they would take the cheese and nostalgia factor and push it to the limit. Once Mann was attached as the director, I knew he would approach it as a straight out action/drama and avoid what could have easily been a pitfall. The fact that he isn't trying to re-make his old series but rather re-imagine it in today's world illustrates his desire to continue the crime saga he began with Heat and more or less continued with Collateral.

That might be the best approach. We gotta be honest, the 80s=cheese. This has to be straightforward or they may as well make a comedy/action along the lines of Charlie's Angels.

I don't know how this movie is going to work outside of the '80s. Really after a certain point in the original series the show stopped making sense because the times changed. The stuff in that trailer looked like a bad episode from the third season...

80s movie = Rocky IV
90s movie = Rocky V

A lot of people didn't like the transition, even though Rocky IV is a pretty braindead movie and the worst-written of them all. Wonder how Rocky VI will handle the 21st century.

Well, for Charles' angels I should have just piled it into "make it into utter crap" but I guess I was just typing fast.

In anycase, Miami Vice was a Emmy nominated and won a couple of emmy's. I would hate for it to be tossed into the comedy stick of TV <-> Film conversions mainly because people can't get over the 80's clothes.

This is an updating of it and it's under Mann's hand. So why would he parody himself and make it comical?

Tyler_Durden
12-13-05, 10:10 AM
I doubt that'll change matters much. You can easily see the film was shot digitally from looking at that low quality video. I stand by the opinion that 35mm film looks better than current high-def digital video, and I wouldn't be surprised if Mann did, too; but shooting on video does simplify things considerably and is more forgiving with low light levels. So I understand the choice to go digital; I just still prefer film.

I guess I don't see the point of this if they are going to make it as a straight-ahead serious movie.

Miami Vice was a big dumb action show. Speed boats, explosions and girls in bikinis. Any serious issues in the show were dealt with through melodrama and most of the episodes were a vehicle for Don Johnson to look tough & cool for the men and swarthy and hot for the women.

Miami Vice the looks like them just being tough with the rest of the stuff gone. Also, it betrays the main ingredient of the show, the visual aspect. In the TV show everything was so bright, and yet in this movie everything is dark.

What I am trying to say is that this movie looks good. So good I don't understand why it needs the Miami Vice moniker. It betrays the source material so much that it is a completely different story. Just give it a different name and be done with it.

Jackskeleton

Becuase back then it was a straight-ahead serious crime drama? Maybe it is a big dumb action show through the eyes of todays entertainment. Oh look at that guy with a silly shirt on.. And a gator on his boat.. LOFFA!

At the time I would toss it to what is seen as CSI today. In 20 years I'm sure they will be considered big dumb action shows with vegas show girls/dead bodies, inside camera aspects of bullet holes going through bodies and most of the episodes were a vehicle for Gil Grissom to look cool, confident and spit out a witty one liner. Lets make that into a film in 20 years and head it into a comical self parody and see what that is like.

The show was for its time, a modern representation of "cool", it used the music and atmospher to tell its story. Considering this is being made by the same person who made the show what it was, the writer, I don't see why it would be a bad idea to update it to what is the representation of "cool" today.


aren't you contradicting yourself here?

No, actually, I'm not. Even though it's silly by todays standards, Charles Angels was an Action Crime Drama and the film was anything but serious. I would hope that the person who felt it was serious back then would also take the hard edge approach with it again with a sort of modern update of it.

It betrays the source material so much that it is a completely different story.

I'm not sure why you say this. It has what looks to be a crime story with them taking on the drug cartels of florida. while cheesy 80s music plays in the background. In the trailer alone I heard cheesy contempory music, THREE different scenes of a boat chase, Planes doing what would look like a drug run, a cool as ice shot of them driving in a car with added car chases, plenty of day shots, a lot of guns clicking and a lot of women dancing.

Seems to me that it's not betraying anything... well, we didn't see Elvis.. No betrayal here especially with the executive producer of the show as the Director.

Colin Farrell as Sonny Crockett makes me wanna puke. This clown isn't worthy to hold Don Johnson's jock strap. I was a huge fan of the tv series and IMO this movie will suck big time.

Why don't we wait 'til the movie is out before bashing Colin Farrell's performance as Sonny? As has been said numerous times in this thread, this is an update so obviously Sonny in this film will be nothing like Sonny in the show. The same goes for Tubbs and the rest of the characters.

Although the mullet didn't make me groan, it made me laugh a bit cos the first thing that popped into my head was Solid Snake.

Collateral simply wouldn't have worked if it were filmed in 35mm. High-def video definitely has a different vibe, but for me it worked and I'm optimistic that it'll work for Vice as well.

When Don Johnson had the 2-day beard look back in 1984 that was unheard of, and then that became the style. Maybe Colin's mullet will do the same and become the style for 2006.

I agree, this and the Superman Returns trailer are prime examples of ones that start off lackluster but once the music takes over they get you interested.

Ali withstanding, I'm a big fan of Michael Mann; even Manhunter was good for its time IMO. Since he is the creator of the original Miami Vice, I doubt Mann will let this slip into typical Hollywood fare. Mann knows how to keep the right balance of human drama and kick ass action (Heat, Collateral, even Last of the Mohicans), so I expect nothing less from this one.
Also, while I typically try to stay neutral on a film's rating, I hope this gets an R rating and keeps it. Miami Vice always was more adult material, and that trailer made it look like an adult action movie, which we haven't really seen since, well, almost since Collateral.

They only showed a quick glimpse of the back of the car on the trailer and I haven't seen anything on the released promos pictures for this movie about the car but my guess will be that the Ferrari that Crockett is driving is a 360 Spider. I figured that since in the original TV series, he drove a Ferrari Daytona Spyder (which was later replaced by the Testarrosa), Mann might be sticking with the same namesake car.

Just saw a TV spot and it looks like their going with the R rating. :thumbsup:

Not that this really surprises me, the show was pretty close to being R rated for its time, and I knew Mann wouldn't want to sugar coat it for the big screen. I just hope this movie doesn't end up like Collateral, where it gets glowing reviews all around and winds up not doing all it could because of the R rating. True, the movie might be crap, but I have faith in Mann, and I figure if this movie were a true piece of crap, they would be trying to cut it for a PG-13 to maximize opening weekend sales as oppose to doing something that could hinder it with this rating.

Agreed that was a signature. Another, and arguably stronger signature, was its use of color. The tv series was probably the first to incorporate color via the medium of television and make it part of its style.

I figured that since in the original TV series, he drove a Ferrari Daytona Spyder (which was later replaced by the Testarrosa), Mann might be sticking with the same namesake car.

I remember seeing the original commercial for the TV series back in 1984 and they showed parts of the black Daytona while "In the Air Tonight" played in the background. I thought it looked so cool. It was the reason I even wanted to watch the show since it was my favorite Ferrari. Boy, was I disappointed to see that it was a fake. Obviously, it would have been crazy to use a real one since they were so rare; especially the Spyder. I was so happy when they blew it up and replaced it w/ the Testarossa. I really don't like the TR but at least it was a real Ferrari.

As for the new one; the one take from the rear in the trailer does look like a 360.

Agreed that was a signature. Another, and arguably stronger signature, was its use of color. The tv series was probably the first to incorporate color via the medium of television and make it part of its style.

Ever seen the original STAR TREK series?

as shown clearly in the teaser trailer, the ferrari is a metallic gray 430 coupe.

some posters on imdb claim it is fitted with nos in the story.

I only saw the trailer once and saw the circle tail lights. In the dark it's hard to tell since the configuration is similar.

Has there even been an R rated movie released this Summer? This and Snakes on a Plane are the only ones I can think of right now.

Well there has been:

The Omen
See No Evil
A Scanner Darkly

Then after miami vice, there will be snakes on a plane, and I am sure there will be some others once August gets here.

Haha. Actually, this weekend was it's 3rd. Good example of an R movie that just comes and goes. If it were PG-13, it probably would have done 30mil the first weekend, and died off at around 50mil. But (as of 7/9)...

I stand by the opinion that 35mm film looks better than current high-def digital video, and I wouldn't be surprised if Mann did, too; but shooting on video does simplify things considerably and is more forgiving with low light levels. So I understand the choice to go digital; I just still prefer film.I agree.

While I'm sure this will be a fine movie, as Mann is incapable of making or shooting a bad movie, the digital-video appearance of Miami Vice just looks cheap. I didn't like it in Collateral (fast movements and quick-pans resulted in nothing but blur), and it's gonna bug me here too. Why can't he just shoot on film?

Mann loves night scenes with low lighting. Easier to see on digital. I'm pretty sure that is the only reason.
