Keyser_Soze Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Michael Mann says ‘Heat 2' is “Definitely” His Next Film; Summer 2024 Shoot Eyed — World of Reel WWW.WORLDOFREEL.COM Michael Mann is telling Radio France that he is deep in pre-production mode on “Heat 2” and that, judging by the stacks of papers on his desk, it’s “definitely” his next film. A summer 2024 shoot is being eyed. Quote Mann has stated that there would be time jumps in the sequel It’s going to be a combination [of CG and makeup]. And so, it won’t be [Robert De Niro] and Al [Pacino] playing McCauley and Hanna,” explained Mann. “And it actually starts eight years earlier than the movie. It starts in 1988, and then it’s gonna jump to 2000. But I don’t really know who to cast until I’ve actually written the screenplay, but I’m in the middle of writing the screenplay right now. And Warner Bros. have been very patient. We already know that Adam Driver will most likely take on the role of Neil MacCauley (originally played by Robert De Niro). Other actors who are rumoured to have been offered roles in the film include Austin Butler and Ana de Armas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 It's Michael Mann, he's never done a sequel before and it's certainly ambitious to try and reach the heights of the first Heat by making a sequel, but I hope hope/faith. He already co-authored a book version of Heat 2 which took him awhile, so this has been in the incubator for a bit, which I think helps. This may very well be Mann's last film too, given his age.

SoberChef Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Apparently Austin Butler is training at Tarron Tactical (same spot that trained Keanu for the Wick flicks), ahead of Heat 2 shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 The main issue with this film as I see it is that the book isn't particularly good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moa Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 You're telling me they wrote a book as a sequel to the movie Heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is correct, it was co-written by Michael Mann, came out a few years ago. It's both a prequel and a sequel to the original film. Mann has been using the novel as a jumping off point to get a film version off the ground, which is now happening, likely with Adam Driver (De Niro's role) and Austin Butler (Kilmer's role) in lead roles.

I was waiting for someone to mention the name of the book. I thought it must have come out under a different title because I hadn’t heard of it before. Nope, it’s just called Heat 2 haha.
