What's with all the negativity? I mean, it's Michael Mann.

That said, I really, really hope that the mullet is only for a small part of the movie.

Quoted for truth. I mean, Jamie Foxx was excellent in Collateral. Oh no, he did Stealth.!!!! OMG HE SUCKS. ...

*rolleyes*
 
After seeing how terrible Colin Farrell did in Daredevil, I don't think I ever want to watch another movie with him in it. He did a good job in Phone Booth, but I think that's it for him. God I can't believe how bad he was in Daredevil...

Okay, so Jamie Foxx comes off of Collateral and Ray, and now he's doing Stealth and Miami Vice. Way to keep that momentum going, Jamie.

And what the hell does Michael Mann have to do with it? And since when is Michael Mann some godly genius? Yeah, he's done some great movies, but he's not the fucking Highlander.

well not really...yet
Jamie Foxx made Stealth before Ray and Collateral, it sat on the shelf for a while IIRC

No, he didn't. He did sign on to do it before those movies were released, though.

And once again, what's with all the negativity? Are people confusing Michael Mann with Michael Bay or something?

Manhunter, The Last of the Mohicans, Heat, The Insider, Collateral - OMG WAHT A HACK

Breaking News : Mann did Collateral!

I liked Colin Farrell in Tigerland and The New World looks promising, and I really like Michael Mann. I'll see this.
 
i have faith in the director, it's th emovie itself that worries me. how long will they keep beating this horse on TV remakes?

I mean, I really loved Miami Vice back in the 80's and that's where it belongs. If this is to be a movie I'd set it during the 80's and run with it.

I'm just disappointed they haven't tried and A-team movie yet.

I actually found Colin Farrel to be the only good thing in Daredevil.
 
They should make a movie about these guys:

Sounds good, Mann's films have been great lately. Now that he's remade his TV movie/pilot L.A. Takedown as Heat, and is working on Miami Vice for the big screen, he should give his "Crime Story" series a movie adaptation too. Damn, that was a classic underappreciated show.

I was waiting for somebody to point out that Heat was a remake. Unlike Lucas, when Mann revisited his work he made it better.

I'm willing to reserve judgement on this one.

And Jarhead is going to make an interesting war movie, it'll be very different than our expectations of the genre.
