A moment of alarm struck the set of Joseph Kosinski's "Miami Vice '85" on Friday, October 23rd, when a man armed with a butcher knife reportedly interrupted filming. According to a report by Deadline, the 23-year-old individual approached a crew member after a verbal altercation and brandished the weapon, causing a security scare.

The New York Police Department was quickly on the scene, apprehending the suspect, who is a Brooklyn resident. He now faces charges including making threats and illegal possession of a weapon. While lead actor Michael B. Jordan was present on set that night for filming, sources confirmed he was not in the immediate vicinity of the incident when it unfolded.

"Miami Vice '85" is an ambitious big-screen adaptation of the iconic 1980s television series, with Joseph Kosinski, known for his work on "Top Gun: Maverick" and the upcoming "F1" film, at the helm. The movie aims to reimagine the pilot episode of the original series, which first aired in September 1984 and famously set a new standard for style and atmosphere in popular culture.

Michael B. Jordan takes on one of the lead detective roles, with Austin Butler joining him to portray the legendary duo. The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including veteran actor John Leguizamo, Alden Ehrenreich ("Solo: A Star Wars Story"), Whitney Peak ("Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes"), Camila Morrone ("Daisy Jones & The Six"), and Danny Ramirez ("Top Gun: Maverick").

Filming for "Miami Vice '85" began earlier this month in New York and is slated to continue in Florida. Despite the unsettling incident, production is expected to proceed as planned for a theatrical release scheduled for May 17, 2028.
