If Mann is directing (if this is real) … I am totally in for it. Heat and Collateral are two of my favorite movies of all time.

Yeah, Mann being in on this means it will probably be good. His track record of movies is solid (Heat, Collateral, Miami Vice, BlackHat) The weakest of his movies is BlackHat - but it is still great cinematically and firearms wise.

I always thought they should do a sequel. Chris (Val Kilmer) was the only one left. Would be awesome (if unlikely) if they showed him as an aging broke has-been living in the memories of his past - till he has had enough and plans one last heist which results in him going out in a blaze of glory that is the opposite of Neil's death running from the law.

It looks like the actual movie will be :

Michael Mann is ready to rip on Heat 2, a novel he has written with Edgar-winner Meg Gardiner that expands the tapestry of his 1995 crime classic film. The surprise here: the novel coming August 9 from William Morrow through the HarperCollins-based Michael Mann Books imprint will tell an original story about the lives of the characters in that movie both before and after the events depicted in the movie. (Watch the book’s trailer, accompanied by Moby’s ‘God Moving Over the Face of the Water,’ the famed final music that plays at the film’s end).

It’s been my intention for a long time to do the further stories of Heat,” Mann told Deadline. “There was always a rich history or back-story about the events in these people’s lives before 1995 in Heat and projection of where their lives would take them after.”

The book represents the first novel from Michael Mann Books — which signed a multi-million dollar deal with HarperCollins imprint William Morrow — and it marks Mann’s debut as a novelist. The cat and mouse game between Hanna and McCauley was informed by real life ex-cop Chuck Adamson and his obsessive pursuit of the real Neil McCauley, a wily ex-con from Chicago who lived to take down big scores. Many of the events depicted in the film actually happened.

The novel Heat 2 starts one day after the events of the film, with a wounded Chris Shiherlis [played by Val Kilmer in Heat] desperate to escape LA. The story moves to both the six years preceding the heist and the years immediately following it, featuring new characters and new worlds of high-end professional crime, with highly cinematic action sequences. The venues range from the streets of L.A. to the inner sanctums of rival Taiwanese crime syndicates in a South American free trade zone, to a massive drug cartel money-laundering operation just over the border in Mexico, and eventually to Southeast Asia. Heat 2 explores the dangerous workings of international criminal organizations with full-blooded portraits of its male and female inhabitants.

A key is a deep dive into the life of Hanna, six years earlier, in Chicago and signature cases that honed his skills. It includes the failing of his earlier marriage, the effects of his Marine Corp service in Vietnam and conflicts within the Chicago PD where he discovers his life’s calling – the pursuit of armed and dangerous felons into the dark and wild places that would doom his marriage in Heat. In Chicago, that included the hunt for a particularly vicious crime crew.

The book also covers the lives –six years before the bank heist — of master thieves McCauley and Shiherlis, whose character becomes central in the post-1995 world of Heat, as well as Charlene (Ashley Judd), Nate (Jon Voight), Trejo (Danny Trejo) and the wheelchair-bound Kelso (Tom Noonan), who provided the bank alarm schematics to McCauley in the film.

“The bank job was not the first time Kelso worked with McCauley, and not the last time he will work with Chris,” Mann revealed.

You left out “Thief”, one of the best crime movies ever made. James Caan wanted to get some pistol training at Gunsite but Jeff Cooper being a tight ass declined the request (he felt it wouldn’t be a realistic film if the star criminal knew how to expertly shoot). So under the table Chuck Taylor instructed Caan for several hours which is why Caan’s use of his .45 Colt Gold Cup in the film is flawless.

Original was great. Hope the sequel is as good.

Yep! Yer galdurned right-“The Unforgiven”, “American Sniper”, “Lone Survivor” and “Fury” were such Progressive disappointments……

Fury did suck as it was highly inaccurate.

Tanks are kind of my fun little nerd out hobby and based on a lot of history and experts they thought it was trash too.

Well I digress with points below.

A: No way an SS infantry company is going to continually assault a single disabled tank sitting out in the open from the front, where most of its guns are pointed and where its heaviest armor is located. The tactic - and EVERYONE knew this by this point in the war - was to get men around the sides (they didn't even need to get to the rear of the tank) and hit it with a panzerschreck. Anything within 100 yards is not only going to be an easy hit for the infantryman, it's going to easily penetrate that tank and probably kill most of the crew.

B: There were WAY too many near misses by German anti-tank and the Tiger at very close range. The Shermans were relatively big/tall targets, and the near-misses I'm referring to were the infantry assault in the open field in the middle of the movie and also the ambush by the Tiger. The movie depicted in both instances anti-tank guns and the Tiger in hidden positions only a few hundred meters away, which is VERY short range for those guns, which were highly accurate. And BTW, in the case of the anti-tank guns, they had to have been pre-aimed on that field.

Yes, Fury “was highly inaccurate” because the film was strewn with woke Leftist Progressive themes
such anti-capitalism, pro-Marxist, pro-LGBTQ, and pushed the global warming hoax!
