The title change comes via Variety<\/a>. As revealed when the movie\u2019s release date was announced<\/a>, Miami Vice \u201885 \u201cexplores the glamour and corruption of mid-80\u2019s Miami,\u201d the decade when the original NBC TV series aired.<\/p>\n

Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan<\/a> and Austin Butler<\/a> are lined up to star as undercover detectives Ricardo Tubbs and Sonny Crockett, respectively.<\/p>\n
