"Mann has been tirelessly working to deliver a sequel to his 1995 crime thriller Heat, with a completed script submitted to Warner Bros. and a novelization already published."
"Warner Bros. is hesitant to invest a projected budget of $170 million for Heat 2, despite the success of the original film, given the changing audience dynamics."
Michael Mann's script for Heat 2 is finalized and submitted to Warner Bros. after years of effort. Despite having a novelization and renewed public interest, the film faces hurdles regarding budget approval. Initially set at $200 million, Mann has revised the budget to $170 million, but Warner executives remain cautious. Leonardo DiCaprio's potential involvement could boost the film's prospects. As both a prequel and sequel, the film needs strong elements to succeed in today's market, which differs significantly from when the original was released.
