Heat 2 is starting off lukewarm. Leonardo DiCaprio officially confirmed that a sequel to the crime thriller with Michael Mann is in the works, but he’s still “mid-discussion” about whether he’ll be playing Chris Shiherlis or Vincent Hanna (as portrayed by Val Kilmer and Al Pacino, respectively, in the 1995 film). So, what’s hot? Below, everything Leonardo DiCaprio told Deadline about the sequel:
- “We’re still working on it.”
- “We’re a ways away from production.”
- “It tips its hat to Heat.”
- “It’s an homage to Heat.”
- “It picks up the story from Heat.”
- “It’s set in the future, and the past.”
- “It is its own silo, in a sense.”
- “It can’t duplicate what Heat was.”
- “It’s giving it its own unique entity.”
Well, glad that’s all cleared up!
