Austin Butler is in early talks to star in Joseph Kosinski‘s “Miami Vice” reboot for Universal Pictures.
If the deals ultimately close, Butler would play James “Sonny” Crockett opposite Michael B. Jordan as Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs, the suave South Florida detectives portrayed by Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas in the classic ’80s TV series. (Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx played the roles in the first big-screen adaptation, 2006’s “Miami Vice,” directed by Michael Mann.)
