Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

Never saw the series. The clip above from the pilot was interesting. Not at all campy. It felt pretty dark. And despite the fact that I have no clue where the heck they were going or what they were gonna do, it felt like something big was gonna go down. Way too many extended shots of the car though.

Cassy:

Season 1 is spotty video quality. It gets a lot better in S2.

Some of my favorite scenes are those. It gives you time to think about the other things that you just saw, and to anticipate what lies ahead. However I can see how that could bother some people.

Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

Considering I have no clue what came before or what lies ahead in that episode, I can see why they bothered me.

This actually comes out on my birthday. Many a lame film has come out on my b-day, maybe this'll be the first cool one.

Just watched an episode. Tonally, this film is tailor made for a 2006 Mann film. I can't wait.

Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

Unexpectedly, I can't wait for this one either. The only thing I've seen of the Miami Vice series is re-runs. I was born in '83, so I don't bring any type of memory of the series.

That said, I'm looking forward to this big time. I really like Manhunter and dug Collateral and it seems like just about anything Jamie Foxx is in these days is gold (except Stealth, and he was at least decent in that). Even Colin Farrell looks well suited for this. There's always at least one movie every year that kind of blindsides me by being way better than I thought it would be, and this could be that movie this year.

Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

I've seen next to nothing of the series, but that is seriously one hell of a clip. The use of the song against the movement of the car is intoxicating.

Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

I didn't know Don Johnson could act.
Great clip makes me want to see the series now.

Apart from Superman Returns and Lady in the Water this was the only other must see film for me this year. I've been gearing up by watching other Michael Mann films, finally saw Heat, just that film alone convinces me that M.V. will be great. Mann is such a good director, it's like you're thrown into the middle of the action and the characters lives, it's definitely different than any other director working today.

I listened to the remake of "In the Air Tonight" again, and it just isn't working for me. I hope it comes across better in the movie.

Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

Another update-

The first actual official reviews are out, and they pretty much expose the several 'bad buzz' articles for what they are- rumors and hearsay. Both of these guys are over the moon about the movie. I haven't been this excited for a film in ages, and I'm always excited about movies.

Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

This is probably my most anticipated release aside from Superman - one has delivered in full, now I'm hoping that Vice is just as good, and I'm willing to bet it will deliver as the number 2 film of the summer for me.

Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

I'm in South America and it doesn't seem like this is a big blockbuster summer film (besides that it's frikkin winter down here). Yes, there was strong commercials on TV, but it's not plastered on billboards all over the place like Superman or the big blockbuster type films. I'm actually curious why that is, since it seems the TV commercial showings are fairly strong in the states. I'll bet it pulls in a pretty solid number, I would predict the highest that a Mann film has grossed yet, but I wouldn't think it would be 'the' summer blockbuster by any stretch. It is for me though, I'm very excited about this film!! And I hate stupid summer blockbusters

I won't hazard any guesses but I read a comment last week on Slate from someone at the studio that they didn't necessarilly expect it to be profitable in the theater.

The quote is:

Quote:
"The key on looking at the profitability of Michael's movies is that they've got a very long tail, well after the theatrical run," Shmuger maintains. "Everybody's seen Heat. Everybody's seen Last of the Mohicans. … [The films] do fantastically well in video, on all television outlets, overseas."

Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

I don't think it'll make that much money, probably a $20 million opening weekend. The promotion seems to be strong, though.

Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

Good quote, Kevin. They'll see their money back, though it's an R-rated adult (and I mean that in the audience sense) thriller. I think it'll open pretty strong, and do pretty well in the States. As the article mentioned, if it's up to Mann's standard, it'll find it's audience eventually.

Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

^ I concur. I think this summer has been piss poor. There's been almost nothing I care to see since April, and what there has been (The Proposition, A Scanner Darkly) hasn't played near me.

That said, I am extremely excited to see Miami Vice. This film looks fantastic! I love the TV series, and Mann rarely disappoints me. Despite the fact that Collateral was one of those rare disappointments, I seriously doubt that will happen this time around, as everything I've seen and heard makes it seem like he's nailed this one. Can't wait!

Farrell: So, with that in mind, I didn't really think much about good old Don Johnson. If I was to think about the early Crockett, I would have been in fuckin' trouble because I would have been arguing with him over the suits that I wanted to wear and no socks with my slip-ons, and all that kind of stuff. And, where's my crocodile? Jamie said that he met Don in a restaurant in Los Angeles, and what did he say?

Foxx: "You tell Colin Farrell, when he's through with my jock strap, to give it back."

I chuckled a bit when I read that part because I can see Don Johnson saying that. I wonder how he really feels about not being in the film. After the first few seasons he wanted nothing more to do with the show, but I wonder how he feels now?

Re: Michael Mann's Miami Vice: Teaser online

Anybody watching the "Miami Vice" special tonight. "Brother's Keeper" is supposed to air as a part of this three hour, but the first 15 minutes so far have been about the making of the new movie. I've Tivoed it and am watching it now.

Pretty good so far.

Oh, and it's in HD.
