Heat 2 gets the greenlight from Warner Bros. Here’s what we know.
Film noir feels like a genre that never went out of style, even though it did. Even after the last true film noir graced the big screen, the influences of the genre evolved into something new and exciting that comes from the self-aware child of film noir: neo-noir.
While it is often harder to pinpoint what makes a neo-noir film, we often refer back to the classics that defined the look and feel of this subgenre. Films like Blade Runner, Chinatown, Oldboy, L.A. Confidential, and Se7en are classics of the genre, we would have to say that Michael Mann’s Heat left its mark on everyone and everything.
We think about Heat a lot and its influence on great filmmakers like Christopher Nolan. It’s a crime classic from Warner Bros. that never did anything more with the film that seemingly existed for itself.
