Alden Ehrenreich Joins Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler in Universal's MIAMI VICE '85
Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story, Weapons) has signed on to star in his next big movie role. He is reportedly set to join Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler in Universal Pictures’ Miami Vice ’85, an original take on the classic 1980s drama series.
Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick, F1: The Movie) is directing the pic from a script by Dan Gilroy (The Bourne Legacy, Andor).
The film explores the glamour and corruption of mid-’80s Miami in an all-new version of Miami Vice, inspired by the pilot episode of the landmark Universal Television series that influenced culture and set the style of everything from fashion to filmmaking.
Bringing current technological expertise to the sights and sounds of the series, Miami Vice ‘85 will be filmed for Imax and is set for release on May 19, 2028. Production will begin this year.
Ehrenreich, who won the Tony this year for his role in Becky Shaw, will next be seen opposite Helen Mirren in Anton Corbijn’s A Talent for Murder, which will have its world premiere at the 2026 Toronto Film Festival.
He will also star opposite Daisy Ridley in The Last Resort, which will be released theatrically in 2027.
