Austin Butler is in early talks to star in a reboot of “Miami Vice” from “F1” and “Top Gun: Maverick” filmmaker Joseph Kosinski. In the relaunch, Butler would play James “Sonny” Crockett, a character originally played by Don Johnson and later portrayed by Colin Farrell.
“Miami Vice” started as a TV series, created by Anthony Yerkovich, that ran from 1984 to 1989. It was later revived by Michael Mann (who executive produced the show) as a film in 2006.
