In a new <\/span>interview with <\/span>The Independent<\/span><\/i><\/a>, Colin Farrell reveals his \u201cbiggest misgiving\u201d with 2006\u2019s <\/span>Miami Vice<\/span><\/i> movie. <\/span>\u201cI had a certain banter with Jamie [Foxx] off camera that I know the tone of the film wouldn\u2019t have allowed that degree of banter. I would have loved to have just a little bit more of the banter,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was never gonna be <\/span>Lethal Weapon<\/span><\/i>, but just a little bit more of the banter that we had.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Reflecting on the reception to the movie at the time, Farrell says that \u201c<\/span>Miami Vice<\/span><\/i> got slapped around a bit.\u201d <\/span>The A.V. Club<\/span><\/i> gave the Michael Mann-directed feature a B+, but observed <\/span>in our review<\/span><\/a> that \u201c<\/span>it\u2019s a little perverse that the big-screen adaptation of <\/span>Miami Vice<\/span><\/i>, an \u201980s cop show remembered for its decadent beachfront locales and pastel color scheme, turns out to be the summer\u2019s <\/span>least<\/span><\/i> frivolous movie.\u201d But Farrell shares, \u201c<\/span>I heard from someone that people like it now.\u201d Indeed, touching on the movie\u2019s reappraisal in 2013, Ignatiy Vishnevetsky <\/span>wrote<\/span><\/a> that \u201c<\/span>the film has emerged as a major touchstone for my generation of critics\u201d in part because of the atmosphere Mann creates and because \u201c<\/span>Miami Vice<\/span><\/i> looks and moves like no other movie.\u201d Universal will soon take another stab at adapting the classic TV show with <\/span>F1<\/span><\/i> director Joseph Kosinski at the helm. Austin Butler and Michael B. Jordan are in talks to star<\/a> as Crockett and Tubbs in the new movie, slated for release in August 2027.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Farrell admits to having \u201c<\/span>very little objectivity about the things that I do,\u201d citing <\/span>True Detective<\/span><\/i>\u2018s second season<\/a> as another project of his that could use critical reappraisal. \u201cI was a bit sad with <\/span>True Detective<\/span><\/i> because I really did have a great experience playing, what was the character\u2019s name? Ray Velcoro. Loved that character. Loved, loved, loved playing Ray. He was an animal, but he was a decent man that did a lot of despicable shit,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was twisty and bent and all over the place. It wasn\u2019t as linear as the wonderful subsequent seasons and the season that came before. [Series creator] Nic Pizzolatto is an extraordinary writer.\u201d Perhaps <\/span>True Detective <\/span><\/i>season two will also get its day in the sun, but in the meantime that show will also move on with Nic Cage in talks<\/a> to star.<\/span><\/p>\n
