Last updated at 15:27 16 February 2005
Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell are to star in a big-screen version of 1980s TV show Miami Vice.
Irishman Farrell will be sharp-suited detective Sonny Crockett, played by Don Johnson in the series. Foxx - nominated for the best actor Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the film Ray - will take the part of Ricardo Tubbs.
The movie will be written and directed by Michael Mann, who was an executive producer on the hit police show, which ran for five years.
Maker Universal Studios said it planned to release it in July 2006.
Miami Vice was recently voted one of the coolest TV shows ever made.
