The director plans to adapt his own novel, a sequel to his 1995 crime classic.

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.
