Loading ...Title: Crockett Returns to Miami…Vice???
Written by: Rick Eager
read about the background of this screenplay here
Synopsis: A two hour Miami Vice TV Reunion movie with the original cast, taking place in Miami today. In the last episode, Crockett and Tubbs tossed their badges to the ground, walking away forever. Crockett (burned out) headed south on a boat and Tubbs headed back to New York, later making Captain. Everyone comes together to celebrate Castillo’s retirement, who gets murdered before the party favors arrive. Crockett, who vowed never to be a cop again, and Tubbs are the only logical choice to investigate. Written in true Miami Vice form, its very cinematic with a music over from Genesis that turns visual on screen with a murder and has a surprise ending. See how our favorite characters have evolved and how it could open the door for a second generation Miami Vice TV series, with a heritage and ties to the original series.

I was very curious after reading the above articles as to what new twist Mr.Eager could come up with for such an all-time classic series for the multitude of die hard Miami Vice fans. I was impressed with the amount of research, detail, thought, and seemingly painstaking hours that were put into this script. From the articles, you get the feeling of a very passionate writer. I will admit that the real impression came after reading his script. I would definitly pay to see this if it were to be made into a movie sometime in the future, and would love to see it turn into a possible new series. I think his ideas and visions are not far fetched at all. Wouldn’t that be great to add a new series worth watching to our weekly programs?! I encourage anyone that is a Miami Vice fan to download this script & see for yourself.

I have read a bit of the screenplay and it looks very well though out. Im looking forward to finishing it.
Anyone else that may be interested, I located something else and thought I would pass it on. I was hooked on this one by the 5th page. Well worth the look.

This is a great idea, but I do have reservations.
Is there a place for this after the movie brought the characters into our modern world?
I have absolute respect for people with the creativity and drive to come up with this, but… there could be seen to be similarities with the Homicide-Life on the Street mini movie (ex-captain killed, old detectives come back to solve….)
If it is made I will definately watch/buy it, but it has to have the gritty edge and be relevant.
Good luck.
Ricks script was wonderful. A truely well thought out work that is a great tribute and modern day tie in to the original series.
Just wondering if there is anything in the works for filming a Reunion show. Loved the script. I have seen Don Johnson wants to do a reunion tv movie/ I can not imagian Phillip Michael Thomas has anything going on that he couldn’t get away from. When are they going to bring these guys back on the screen.
Thanks,
Ken
If their going to do a reunion movie, they better do it within the next 5 years. I read the script and this script is very done professionally. The way the script is written, this script could make it work. The 2006 movie was alright. I was sort of disappointed by it though. Anyhow goodluck on trying to get the script thru. If a reunion movie is in the works, I will be watching it.
Interesting script but sounds too close to the episode “Deliver Us from Evil”. Only Crockett didn’t run afterward.
Just read the whole script on my laptop, standing at the counter in my kitchen. A very nice piece of work if I may say so.
I agree with a previous poster that the “feel” is very close to that of “Deliver us from Evil” with Frank Hackman – especially the final “scene” with Castillo on the island, but there is nothing wrong with that.
Castillo would certainly be capable of such a thing bearing in mind he was ex-Int / SF as we saw in some of the original episodes.
A nice move in bringing in Crockett and Tubbs’ sons – perhaps that would be the building block for a Miami Vice II TV run with Sonny and Rico in the background as guest stars?
Whilst I am a die-hard Vice fan, I wonder if times have moved on too far for this project to reach fruition on the small screen. MV was ground breaking in its day but – shock horror – that first “day” was a quarter of a century ago… As we see with “current” TV Police Shows (in both the UK and the US) styles have changed. This was true with the MV Movie, which seemed “darker” somehow.
I for one would love to see this script made into a TV movie, but I wonder if the networks have the appetite for it.
One last though: MV the Movie would have been more enjoyable for me had it not been called “Miami Vice”. Too many memories for it to compare to and I think it suffered somewhat in the eyes of those of us who remember the original. A bit like the terrible re-make of “The Italian Job” – A seminal British classic from the sixties, murdered by Hollywood.
Rick – Keep up the good work and I hope my post is not too much of a downer.
Yours,
Matt
Think about if miami vice could have been on HBO with no restrictions something on the lines of the sopranos anyway dig the old vice and would love to see the old crew back together again
Just read the script. Overall, I’d give it a C. Why? Well…
Typos. No place for them in a script that’s taking on MV.
Sonny is the focus, but what does he DO? We see an arc, he changes, but what does he DO to solve Castillo’s murder? Where are the close calls with him and Tubbs? Where does his hope fade and get brought back?
The ending didn’t fly. Castillo would have to have had a complete character breakdown to do what he did, and in a million years, THAT would never happen.
The scene descriptions were too long. You need tighter phrases. The dialog came close in some cases, but it all too nice, too soft. Sonny’s attitude came through here and there.
The boat was kinda missed with Sonny and Tubbs’ kids. They should have been developed a lot more.
Now, with all this said… it’s not a bad idea. But it needs a lot of work to get to the level of what a MV reunion would need to be…
Please please bring back Miami Vice
miami vice .iam ready for the come back i have every epasoide and many cds of music i have bought on line like godly and cream.what date will the return happen on
If the likes of Columbo can solve crimes at his age then so can our favourite 2 Miami cops. Very much a show from the 80’s but if that concept was still adapted with a touch of updated fashion, placement of products and the music (some 80’s) i’d be a happy man. The old hits are very much being used nowadays. Look at Journey’s big hit, we hear it all the time. Philip Michael Thomas said not too long ago he misses it big time. Just get Don to sign up for it. He’s doing theatre work but give him a decent script and we can enjoy our favourite show once again.
P.S Just been browsing on YouTube and watched a clip of Don on an Italian TV show from last year. He was asked about doing the show again and he gave ‘maybe’ answer. That’s encouraging to hear.
I love screenplay the ending was great. Thank you for writing the story. sonny& rico and every one on the show was great.
I loved Miami Vice it has to be one of the best cop shows on tv besides Nash Bridges could you also start showing that cop show on tv Don Johnson is HOT plus he always drove a hot car!!!!!!!!!!
