Did Foxx almost ruin Miami Vice movie?

Should have been Matthew McConaughey or Brad Pitt as Crockett and Terence Howard, from "Crash" and "Hustle and Flow", as Tubbs. They are more in line with the original charecters.

Michael Mann is possibly the finest director in America. And his utilization of Mogwai on the soundtrack is a perfect fit for him. The show may be camp, but if Sam Peckinpah decided to make a film based on "Bonanza", would you see it? Even if the film is a failure, you can at least count on it having something that few films released commercially have: at least a few moments of aesthetic rapture.

Hey Bob, and everyones else who thinks they know what they are talking about... Miami Vice will easily be one of the best films of this year, if not one of the best Undercover cop/Drug/Action flms ever. The fact that there were problems on set mean nothing. Mann is behind this like he was the show except he is smart enough to be able to update it, sorry your stuck in the eighties, ge3t your head out of that pile of coke and realize we're in 2006, put thepastels and the white loafers away Bob, they are not cool anymore... If you don't want to what this movie, you're an idiot... thanks for your thoughts though, peace....

None of this shit is true. It was Colins drug problem on set that was the problem.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT JAMIE FOX IS A GENERIC CHRIS CROSS, AN EGOTIST AND A BIGGOT. AN THERES NO OTHER EXCUSE FOR COLLIN FARREL BUT GEORGEOUS LOOSER.

As a Vice fan who was lucky enough to be an extra on four episodes of the original including the final 2 hour episode, I am not looking forward to the movie. I like both actors but you just can't capture the Miami Vice feeling and like Alan stated, it looks like another Bad Boys movie shot in Miami. Where's Phil Collins when you need him??

I am so tired of Jamie Foxx right now. He used to be a funny and somewhat humble guy, but after Ray got huge buzz and and he won the Oscar he thinks he rules Hollywood. He has become increasingly annoying.

And this movie is going to suck balls.

This is exactly how I was feeling! At least Starsky and hutch was semi-faithful to the original. This one is all 2004ish and that kinda rubs me the wrong way when I think about Miami Vice.

The story I read, and I don't remember where now, didn't have Foxx asking for the ending to be changed. Instead, it said that his actions forced the ending to be changed. Apparently, after the shooting in the Dominican, Foxx packed up his stuff and left, so Mann was unable to film the ending he had planned.

I want to like it being a Miami Vice fan, but I have the feeling it will be more like Bad Boys 2.
