The Big Picture
- Director Michael Mann plans to shoot a sequel to his film Heat as his next project after finishing the press campaign for his latest movie Ferrari.
- Adam Driver, star of Ferrari, was previously linked to the lead role in Heat 2, but Mann was noncommittal about working with him again due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
- Heat 2 will adapt a 500-page novel of the same name, written by Mann and Meg Gardiner, that serves as both a prequel and sequel to the original film, exploring the early days of Robert De Niro's character and continuing the story of Al Pacino's character.
