MIAMI VICE sort of Music Related I really forgot what an influence that this show had on a Short time period. It was not only a pretty good show, it really did create something instead of borrowing from the past. Well as usual There is a remake of the Show coming out as a Movie, with JAMIE FOXX and COLIN FARELL taking the leads. I was "UNLUCKY" to see some previews and WOW, its gonna be bad, First of all DON JOHNSON today could easily outdo Colin Farrell but i realize they are looking for a YOUNG audience, i nver understand that, why NOT cater to the Audience that made this show what it was, not cater to a crowd that will view it as something original when its not, its from 20 years ago. Also MIAMI VICE had a influence on Music and Fashion Good and Bad obviously, but the Movie is taking all of that away, the music i heard so far is Hideous, typical Rap/RB garbage that we can all get anywhere, I just hope there isnt some kind of "in the air tonight" puffy 2006 remix or "You Belong to the City" the G unit version.
And lets not even talk about the acting, wow, the clips i saw were so bad that Jamie should have to give back the oscar, he makes Long for a Phillip Michael Thomas comeback.

Is it set in the 80's even?
A Miami Vice movie without the 80's vibe is like Pizza without cheese. Those two things are inexorably linked. Without them pastels and music it might as well be just another 2nd-rate cop flick. [Edited 1/11/06 16:40pm] | |

Sounds scary. I hate the idea of turning TV shows into movies with a few exceptions but hearing that the soundtrack is filled with rap... ugh. Seems like any time there's a movie with a black male under 40 in it they have to add rap music to the soundtrack. There's nothing wrong with NOT having a damn hip hop song on a soundtrack. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

Moderator | Jan Hammer was the one who did the music for the Miami Vice shows. And tracks from Phil Collins and other artists were also used. Ohh purple joy oh purple bliss oh purple rapture!
