The rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, the only source being insider Daniel Richtman, the source of many scoops in the film industry. According to him, Al Pacino would be in negotiations to join Michael Mann on Heat 2, the second part of the cult thriller released in 1995 and which saw for the very first time Robert De Niro and Al Pacino give the answer to the screen. Thirty years later its release, Heat continues to mark its generation, and Michael Mann has already extended the universe of the film with a book released last summer entitled Heat 2: A Novel. When the book was released, the director announced a film adaptation in the process, a promise of a lot of nostalgia, especially if the original cast returns to the franchise. Al Pacino, 82, is parsimonious in his choice of roles today, his latest being that of Aldo Gucci in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci in 2021. His return as Lieutenant Hanna would mark a big blow and would undoubtedly delight its many fans.

Director Michael Mann, for his part, has just completed his first film in seven years, Ferrari, which should be released soon. The opportunity for him to finally turn to this famous Heat 2? We hope so.
