This received’t be the primary time Crockett and Tubbs have made their approach to the large display. Michael Mann directed a remake in 2006, which starred Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx.

Plus, we’ve raised more money for our car [through sponsorship] than some Formula 1 teams. You take that all into consideration and it really drops that number quite a bit lower than what people would think.” F1 will hit theaters on June twenty seventh.
Kosinski can also be set to helm a UFO disclosure film, after which he’ll get to work on the Miami Vice film — busy dude.
