Rico and Gina...Sonny and Trudy??

Found this over at joblo.com.....

Filming on the feature film adaptation of MIAMI VICE starring Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx is set to begin filming this spring with Michael Mann directing. To date little was known about the film but I got my hands on a casting call for the film that sheds a little bit of light on what we might see in Mann's big-screen vision for Crockett and Tubbs. Each of the main characters will have a love interest in the film. Ricardo Tubbs will be involved with Gina Calabrese, a former New York cop who has been working on the Miami vice squad for six years with a specialty is high-level computer operations. Sonny Crockett meanwhile looks to Trudy Joplin a "multiethnic," athletic member of the vice squad for wisdom and advice. Unlike Gina, Trudy is more "hands-on" and has expertise in precision weapons. While it's a given that both Crockett and Tubbs would have their ladies, so to speak, it wouldn't be a MIAMI VICE film without an intimidating heavy. Therein lies Archangel De Jesus Montoya-Londono. Say that five times fast. Montoya is the head of an elite drug cartel and is fearless in how he operates. His right-hand man is Jose "Cochi Loco" Yero whose nickname translates to "Crazy Pig". He runs operations, communications and security for Montoya and has a reputation for being....well, a little crazy (you didn't think he got that nickname by picking daisies, did you?). Casting is underway for these roles and the film will go into production in Miami and the Dominican Republic in just a few months.

Trudy Being a Latino and Gina Being an African American?!,LOL!!.That Should be Something a Little Different for All of Us "The Future Viewing Audience" To See!!,Anything Goes!!.As long as They Have a Good Storyline for This Movie.Maybe We'll Get To See Sonny and Rico Do Some Traveling Again Outside of Miami By Going to The DR Instead of to Colombia like They was Doing in The TV Version!!

Why not? What is wrong with Sonny and Trudy to be a good lover?

Anyway, this movie it is not original Miami Vice, that's matter who is with who. They can find girlfriend for sonny's pet Elvis too.  

Like katey kay, I also (on the whole) preferred Trudy to Gina. A far more "spunky" character, a real "sista with attitude". Just a shame she wasn't given more screen time and allowed to shine more.

I for one am looking forward to the movie with interest and am keeping an open mind on it. I think it should be judged on its own merits and shouldn't be written off before shooting has even started. Let's just wait and see the final, finished product before we pass judgement.

They seem not to be making some kind of comedy monstrosity like they did with "Starsky & Hutch", so first of all let's be grateful for that.

I'm sure that the movie will have some things that are good and somethings that are not so good. But as long as there are some sultry Miami backdrops, a strong story and a great music soundtrack, I think we could be in for a treat as long as we don't get too nostalgic for the '80s. I mean - do we really (in our heart of hearts) want to see a pot-bellied 55 year-old DJ reprising the role of Crockett?

The '80s was the '80s and thanks to the miracle of video (and now DVD) we can forever travel back in time whenever we want and experience Vice as it was back then.

But today os today and it will be interesting to get a whole new take on things - and if Michael Mann is directing, I think that bodes well.
