Heat 2 heating up into “a very large movie,” says Michael Mann
With Ferrari, Tokyo Vice, and the Heat 2 novel, it’s safe to say that we’re in a full-on Mann-issance

At 79 years young, the action is still the juice for director Michael Mann.
The director of such masterpieces as Miami Vice, Thief, and The Insider is back after a seven-year absence from feature filmmaking. And with his long-gestating passion project Ferrari about to enter production and the upcoming August release of his novel, Heat 2, on the horizon, the director is starting work on a very large movie, an adaptation of his novel Heat 2, entitled Heat 2.
In a wonderful interview with Marc Maron on WTF, in which Mann refers to 60 Minutes as “ding dong school” and describes in great detail how they lit LA for Collateral (seriously, it’s a must-listen), Mann said that Heat 2 is underway.
Promoting his upcoming novelized sequel, Mann said, “This is a book, but it’s also going to be a very large movie.”
