Michael Mann has confirmed that he is working on the screenplay for a sequel to the 90’s smash hit movie Heat.

Mann told the Los Angeles Times that he wants to begin shooting the film by the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025. The director stopped short of talking about the cast set for Heat 2, telling the publication, “I can’t talk about that.”

Heat 2 will be based on the novel of the same name and function as a prequel and a sequel to Heat. The book jumps between two time periods, the first following Chris Shiherlis as he tries to evade the LAPD and Detective Vincent Hanna following the bank robbery gone bad with the second storyline taking place in Chicago in 1988.

Adam Driver and Austin Butler are rumored to be taking over De Niro and Kilmer’s roles. Mann worked with Driver on his latest film, Ferrari, and was asked in October 2023 if he would reteam with him for the Heat sequel.

24 (TV Series) Movie in the works.

A film adaptation of the popular television series “24” is in early development at 20th Century Studios.

Imagine Entertainment co-founder Brian Grazer teased the project during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Squawk Box” in June.

“Imagine has always played in that zone where there is that high probability chance that it will be successful in movie theaters. It’s great for us, because we’ve built, over 30 years, over 100 different products and brands, whether it’s ‘Backdraft,’ which I’m now going to do today with Glen Powell, or whether it’s ’24,’ a movie that we’re going to do in a very interesting way with Disney and Fox.”

“24,” created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran for Fox, originally ran for nine seasons between 2001 and 2014, and spawned a television film called “Redemption” in 2008. Kiefer Sutherland starred as Jack Bauer, an agent from the U.S. government’s fictitious “Counter Terrorist Unit” (CTU). Each season depicted 24 hours in real time.

The series received 68 Emmy nominations during its run, earning 20 wins including outstanding drama series and lead actor for Sutherland in 2006.
