Jordan is in early negotiations to star in the new Miami Vice movie being developed by Universal and F1 filmmaker Joseph Kosinski. If a deal makes, Jordan will play Ricardo Tubbs, one half of the famous cop duo known as Crockett & Tubbs. James Crockett has yet to be cast. The new feature will explore the glamour and corruption of mid-'80s Miami in a new version of the property, inspired by the pilot episode and first season of the landmark television series that influenced culture and set the style of everything from fashion to filmmaking. Miami Vice began life as the Anthony Yerkovich-created TV series starring Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas as two undercover Miami police officers known for their love of fast boats and pastel suits. Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell starred in a 2006 feature of the same name that Michael Mann directed, which earned $163.7 million globally. The new feature is produced by Dylan Clark (The Batman) and Kosinski and written by Eric Warren Singer and Dan Gilroy, based on characters created by Yerkovich. Universal had no comment.
