Miami Vice sequel?
There's more talk of a Miami Vice (review) sequel, and although it's nothing concrete and just an insider talking, it backs up something both Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx said during and interview.
According to Life Style Extra through UK IGN:
"Colin and Jamie really hit it off on Miami Vice but they were disappointed the film didn't do better," an unnamed source advised the U.K.'s Life Style Extra. "They very much want to work together again and they both want another Vice. They feel there is scope for another story."
Previously Farrell and Foxx both said that they would love to appear in a sequel to Miami Vice, it's the usual offhand comment at a press conference I'm sure, but Foxx was a bit more wise about it and said...
Foxx cautioned, however, that all the right elements "would have to come together."
I think that means his pay, Michael Mann, his entourage and nothing like too much of a hardship for him to work in. I would definitely agree with the Mann comment though, to make this work it has to be another film that looks and feels like Collateral and Miami Vice, hard, gritty and realistic.
I'd definitely want to see a sequel on the go, wouldn't you? I thought the film was superbly done and a sequel should only be made if Mann is at the helm.
