If this truly becomes a reality, Michael Mann will have no choice but to include a shoot-out scene just like the original in that "extra loud" blanks are used outdoors, around buildings for that blistering echo effect and causes the movie theaters & your eardrums to rumble... otherwise, don't bother. 

While HEAT is 30 years old now (where did the time go?), it's possibly one of the most acclaimed crime-dramas ever made and that shootout scene in downtown LA is legendary.

While I'm sure it will be made well HEAT2 is a sequel that movie goers never asked for. Hollywood is truly out of ideas...

Not sure why they even have to go there. Leo has been a bit chubby lately, is he just gonna roll after his enemies?

No; he'll devour them. Maybe they should call it Eat instead.

He’s a little chubby now, but this is starting to turn into a Pac-Man post public domain horror movie

Interesting.  I wonder if this is going to follow the book and jump timelines past and forward from the original movie. It could be good , if Mann gets the budget he needs.

Coincidentally, I'm just watching Mann's 1981 neo-noir classic and Proto-Heat movie "Thief". James Caan's hard working criminal, rain-soaked night streets and Tangerine Dream's memerizing soundtrack still hit hard. The streaming version has excellent picture quality.
