Miami Vice '85 Set Photos Show Austin Butler as Sonny Crockett
With filming for Miami Vice '85 finally commencing, the set photos are also surfacing online and have given us an early preview of the highly anticipated movie.
Austin Butler was spotted on the set in 80s fashion as Sonny Crockett. He is wearing a relaxed white blazer (with a light blue Henley shirt underneath) and matching trousers, along with black sunglasses.
Danny Ramirez and Dominic Sessa were also seen on the set in a classic 80s retro look, although it is unclear what kind of roles they are playing.
However, Michael B. Jordan, who is playing Ricardo Tubbs, was not spotted in the set photos, but we will likely see him in the coming days or weeks once more set photos potentially emerge.
This is a confirmation of what fans have suspected, which is that the film will take place in the 80s and will recreate the era's aesthetic. After all, the original series was credited with establishing the look and style of the '80s decade when it hit the airwaves.
We will likely see more set photos soon, as filming is currently ongoing in New Jersey. Reports indicate that it will also shoot scenes in New York and Miami.
