Interesting development. I’m not really bothered about this unless Pacino is involved and I doubt he will be, but it’s high time we had another Mikey Mann film so I’ll take it.

Better watch LA Takedown instead.
sharethanks for the suggestion. im privateering it now
shareActually pretty excited about this. I mean nobody thought Godfather 2 was gonna be good much less an essential companion piece to the original. It could happen again.
shareI would love to see Jake Gyllenhaal as Chris Shiherlis and Oscar Isaac as Hanna in a feature film!
its hard for me to put into words why I think that would be trash. which is weird, I like Mann, and like those those actors. I just feel like it'll lose all the 90s grittiness and simplicity that made Heat good. and be some overblown, overdone cgi filled Michael bay film like ambulance
shareI heard about this initially as the book, surprised to hear it now as a movie.
In all honesty I really hate when sequels get made as nowadays they feel to me like they're solely milking the success of the original. People liked X back then - let's make X again!
Heat is such a good film. The story feels finished. There's some bits here and there that make you wonder what happens next, or what happened prior. The story drops you into this segment of what's going on currently and takes you for a ride. That's all you need to me. A little desire of some other details is good, but I don't know if it warrants another movie. It may be nice to get some more details because we enjoy the first so much, but I would be completely shocked if it lived up to the first, even acknowledging that he will cast, score and shoot it very well.
In then end - I enjoyed Heat so much and I like Mann's work so I'll regretfully see this.
If it’s a whole new cops and robbers thriller with a Pacino cameo as old Hanna then that could work, but I wouldn't want it to be called ‘Heat 2’ - the story of Heat ended with that final moment at LAX, don’t fuck with that.
shareNoooooo, don’t make a sequel, just let the original go down a classic.
shareI'm all for this. I really wish that Ryan Reynolds would be a part of it as that man has some acting chops. He needs to stop pigeonholing himself in these very similar comedic roles and step away from that for a while. I'd really like to see him in some more dramatic roles because he's just as good at drama as he is at comedy.
shareHe is a good actor but I don't think he's going to move away from that style now. That shtick IS ryan reynolds. Literally, Deadpool = Van Wilder = Waiting, even in ads/commercials he plays roughly the same persona with his manner of speaking and delivery. I don't see this changing for him now, although it would be nice to see.
Maybe at some point in the future he acts in a film that reminds everyone he actually can act and gets big nominations or awards for it.
He ABSOLUTELY is capable of winning a best actor Oscar one of these days. 👍👍
shareI've seen him do Deadpool (older version before reboot) and horror movies. He's capable of that but I dunno if he can get back to that mode. He's mostly been doing this gay Deadpool variant of himself.
shareReturning to the well.
