\n\tWhile AI has been dividing Hollywood, Michael Mann is agnostic when it comes to it. In fact, he will likely be experimenting with it in \u201cHeat 2.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t I experiment with technology gratuitously,\u201d Mann said. \u201cWhen I have a dramatic need or esthetic need for it, then I go deep into what I need.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tHe added, \u201cAging and de-aging may be very important in the next film,\u201d Mann said, referring to the long-anticipated sequel to \u201cHeat\u201d which he said on Friday during a wide-ranging masterclass that will hopefully start filming next summer. <\/p>\n
\n\tMann, who received the Lumiere Award from the hands of Isabelle Huppert last night, also addressed the fact that \u201cHeat 2\u201d has moved from Warner Bros. to Amazon MGM-owned United Artists and producer Scott Stuber. <\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cHeat 2\u201d is an \u201cexpensive movie to make, but I believe it should be made at the proper size and scale,\u201d Mann said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to shoot in Chicago, Los Angeles, Angeles, Paraguay, and possibly some parts in Singapore.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cPeople make dramas at a certain budget level, because of the costs, not because of anybody being greedy. If it was at a lower price, I could have made it anywhere. But it\u2019s complex. I can\u2019t get into all the politics of it. But we moved from Warner Brothers to Amazon and United Artists, but it will be absolutely released theatrically, in the United States, probably in about 4,000 cinemas and for at least 45 days. <\/p>\n
\n\tRegarding the plot of \u201cHeat 2,\u201d Mann said it would move back and forth in time, before and after the events of the original film. The story will pick up one day after the movie ends, \u201conly Val Kilmer\u2019s alive, and he has to flee the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe characters of \u201cHeat\u201d are so alive to me. Then,\u00a0an idea occurred to me, based on the rapport between two lethal adversaries, Pacino\u2019s Hannah and De Niro\u2019s McCauley, about how to do both before the events of \u201cHeat\u201d and after.\u201d He pointed out that Hannah and McCauley were changed by events that occurred in 1988, when Hannah was a cop in Chicago and McCauley had \u201ca wife, he has a stepdaughter, he has a nuclear family that he\u2019s very attached to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tMann also gave an update on his following project set against the backdrop of the 1968 Battle of Hu\u00e9, during the Vietnam War, which he\u2019ll do after \u201cHeat 2.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tThe film will be based on a book by Mark Bowden, the helmer of \u201cBlack Hawk Down.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s a very human, a very powerful piece, and I spent a lot of time and talked with a lot of survivors of that battle,\u201d Mann said, adding that the book had also inspired Al Pacino\u2019s character from \u201cHeat\u201d \u2014 \u201cAl Pacino\u2019s history, that he was a Marine who was in the Battle of Hue in 1968 and that in 1988 he\u2019s still suffering from PTSD.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tThat movie will be \u201clike\u00a0\u201cRash\u014dmon\u201d\u00a0with several perspectives, several points of both the American side and on the Vietnamese side,\u201d Mann teased. <\/p>\n
\n\tMann also said during yesterday\u2019s masterclass that he\u2019ll produce a Western titled \u201cComanche\u201d which will be directed by Scott Cooper, whose latest film \u201cSpringsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere\u201d played this week at Lumiere Festival<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
