Ferrari director Michael Mann has revealed that Heat 2 is going to be his next movie. The film will serve as both a sequel and a prequel to the first film Heat, which was released in 1995 and starred Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as a professional thief and a relentless cop, respectively.

Heat 2 is based on the novel of the same name, which Mann co-wrote with Meg Gardiner and published in August 2023. The novel became a No. 1 New York Times bestseller and received critical acclaim for its thrilling and complex story. The novel follows the characters of Neil McCauley, Chris Shiherlis, and Vincent Hanna in the years before and after the events of Heat, as they engage in various heists, chases, and confrontations across the U.S. and Mexico.
