With the long-gestating biopic “Ferrari” in the rearview mirror, what’s next for director Michael Mann? Mann has teased a couple of projects in development (like this sci-fi one), but it will most likely be “Heat 2,” an adaptation of the sequel novel to his 1995 film the director published in 2022. In a recent sit-down with Variety, Mann covered where the story of “Heat 2” picks up after the events of “Heat,” when he hopes to start shooting the film, and whether or not he’ll cast someone as talented as Val Kilmer to play Chris Shiherlis.
