- Camila Morrone is set to co-star opposite Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler in Universal's Miami Vice '85
- Joseph Kosinski will direct the film, which is described as the latest feature adaptation of the classic '80s crime series
- Universal is the studio backing the project, with the source noting the film is adding 'even more star power to its growing ensemble'
- Miami Vice '85 is positioned as a feature adaptation of the Don Johnson/Philip Michael Thomas crime series that aired in the 1980s
Why it matters: Universal is stacking A-list casting around its growing ensemble for Miami Vice '85, attaching Kosinski to direct and pulling Morrone into a property alongside two of the moment's highest-profile young leads — a bet that legacy '80s crime IP can carry theatrical weight with the right cast.
