It is reported that Universal Pictures wants Colin Farrell and 'Collateral' lead Jamie Foxx to star as Detectives James 'Sonny' Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs in the big screen version of 'Miami Vice'.
Variety reports that 'Collateral' helmer Michael Mann, who acted as executive producer on the hit 1980s TV show, is in talks to write, produce and direct the film.
'Miami Vice' ran from 1984 to 1989 and featured early TV appearances by Julia Roberts, Bruce Willis, Liam Neeson, Steve Buscemi and Ben Stiller, among many other future Hollywood stars.
Farrell will next be seen on Irish cinema screens in 'A Home at the End of the World'; it opens on 22 October.
