Get ready for another cat-and-mouse game.
Over 30 years ago, we were treated to one of the most exciting heist movies of all time, Heat. Michael Mann directed the movie about a cat-and-mouse game between a detective and a thief. The movie is both thrilling and emotional. We get deeply involved with these men’s lives and we come to understand why they live the way they do. The movie starred Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.
That movie premiered so long ago, but Mann has been working on the sequel. The book, Heat 2, comes out in August. And Recently, Michael Mann has said he wants to make it into a sequel movie. It takes place both before and after the original film, splitting the narrative’s timeline.
“It’s totally planned to be a movie,” Mann told Empire Magazine.
Of course, there are some chips stacked against it. Mann says, “Is it a modest movie? No. Is it a very expensive series? No, It’s going to be one large movie.”
