Filming has begun on 'Miami Vice '85.' To mark the start, Universal Pictures released a first image of the two leads on Monday, with the film's official X account writing: "Michael B. Jordan is Tubbs. Austin Butler is Crockett." Joseph Kosinski ('Top Gun: Maverick,' 'F1') directs from a screenplay by Dan Gilroy.
