Gentlemen, Drop Your Razors

The Lord of Truth pointed us to this story the other day. Better break out my white suit...

The sharp suits and sizzling plots of "Miami Vice" are heading for the big screen, 15 years after the hit US police series left the airwaves, the entertainment press said.

Universal studios is preparing a movie version of the show and is in talks with Irish star Colin Farrell and US actor Jamie Foxx to take on the roles of the suave Florida-based detectives, Daily Variety said.

The original television show made Don Johnson a major star when he played the white suit-clad Sonny Crocket from 1984 to 1989, opposite Philip Michael Thomas as fast-talking detective Ricardo Tubbs.

Maybe Phillip Michael Thomas can land a small role as a drug dealer. Personally, I agree with the Lord, who noted that Will Ferrell would have been a far more entertaining choice for Sonny Crockett.
