Heat 2 Trailer Sequel to Michael Mann’s 1995 Film
Director Michael Mann has dated Heat 2, a follow-up novel to the blockbuster film that starred Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, and Val Kilmer.
The follow-up to Heat will come out later this year in August and is co-written by Meg Gardiner and Mann. Heat 2 will serve as both a prequel and sequel as it will feature stories that occur in both 1989 and 2002 with its cast of characters. The 1995 action film was Pacino and De Niro’s first on-screen appearance together and Heat became a cult classic grossing 187.4 million at the box office.
