Fast and the Furious star Vin Diesel is developing a Miami Vice reboot at the Peacock network, which he will executive produce.Should it move forward, the reimagined series could be on the air as early as the 2018-19 season.

Noooooooooooooooooo. Hollywood is intent on remaking everything that was a hit at one time. i was skeptical of the Lethal Weapon tv series and that turned out to be pretty good.

Everything old is new agai.

I suspect some Nostalgia is at play as those children who grew up with shows of a certain era are in place to get those shows remade.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

What, another reboot?

 

[Kor]

Does this mean they didn't make enough money from that movie and want to try again? Or does it mean they made a lot from it, and want to capitalize on that?

Yes, Yes and Yes

Hollywood is and never will be satisifed with the amount anything makes they would always want a little more (ok a lot more)

 

[Gary Mitchell]

The movie sucked. I hope the show will be better.

 

[Hugo Rune]

If it don't have wide shoulder pads and pastel blazers I'm OUT!

Hugo - was never in

Dynasty, miamiVice, and macgyver, and roseanne, so what other eighties shows will be coming back?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Unless it's a period piece, I don't see this working.

Roseanne to me is a 90s sitcom.
It's also the only true continuation.

When was Hawaii 5-O on?

I'm more in favor of continuations than stupid reboots.

 

[safarial]

sixties to seventies, magnum PI was created to replace it.

 

[Push The Button]

Giancarlo Esposito would make a great Castillo.

 

[psCargile]

Oh wait, gender swap the cast. Make it a sort of Cagney and Lacey in Miami.

 

[Forbin]

Oy vey.

 

[Jedi_Master]

I found Miami Vice as a whole to be more tedious than entertaining. The nihilistic themes - especially in the later episodes - were overdone, and the forced ambiguity was revolutionary for it's time, but has been imitated so much that the original almost seems like a parody.

I hope they find some kind of middle ground if and when they reboot the series.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

i'm thinking it'll be more in the Fast and Furious vein based on Diesel and the Fast and Furious writer being producers on the series.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

The 80's cheese is the whole POINT of Miami Vice. Without that, why bother?

 

[Forbin]

What's the current pop equivalent of "In the Air Tonight"?
And can you picture it as the soundtrack of an undercover drug bust?

 

[publiusr]

I wonder what Michael Mann is doing these days.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Well, they can play on the name of something they own anyway, or go with a different title. But since there's probably no new ideas to be had, why not give it a shot?

Isn't CBS doing OK with Hawaii 5-0?

But then the really big decision, continuation or reboot????
