Director Michael Mann’s long-awaited sequel, ‘Heat 2,’ is finally moving forward after years of anticipation. Amazon MGM Studios’ United Artists banner, under the leadership of Scott Stuber, is in the final stages of securing the rights to produce the film, which is based on Mann’s own book.

The project, initially in talks with Warner Bros. in 2023, has now found a home with Amazon, aiming for a substantial theatrical release. The star-studded cast for ‘Heat 2’ includes names like Adam Driver, Austin Butler, Bradley Cooper, and potentially Leonardo DiCaprio.

Mann, known for his original pitch of a $230 million budget, has since adjusted it to $170 million. The film will be a standalone story with a new cast, set to explore events before and after the original ‘Heat’ film from 1995.

Produced by Michael Mann, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Scott Stuber, ‘Heat 2’ will delve into the backstory of De Niro’s character, McCauley, and the aftermath of a failed bank robbery, with a fresh take on the iconic heist thriller.
