Heat 2 is a sequel and prequel to the 1995 classic Heat, written by Michael Mann and Meg Gardiner. The narrative alternates between the late 1980s, chronicling the lives of LAPD detective Vincent Hanna, thief Neil McCauley, and his crew member Chris Shiherlis, and the early 2000s, where Shiherlis is involved with a crime family. Mann is facing funding challenges for the film adaptation with Warner Bros, as the studio is concerned about budget estimates, requiring a partnership for financial backing.
“In a twist, Leo DiCaprio has had conversations with Mann about starring” in the long-awaited sequel to the classic movie Heat, which has hit a funding roadblock.
Heat 2, released as a split-timeline book in 2022, explores the backstories of characters while featuring a mix of timelines from the late 1980s to the early aughts.
Mann has been trying to produce Heat 2 for years; the initial budget request was $200 million, which Mann reduced to $170 million, but Warner Bros remains hesitant.
The narrative dives into the character arcs of Vincent Hanna and Neil McCauley, presenting a gripping portrayal of their lives before and after the original film's events.
