Michael Mann’s follow-up to Heat brings back characters made famous by Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
Pacino was a big fan of the de-aging technology used by Martin Scorsese in his Netflix gangster film The Irishman.
De Niro, whose character is killed off at the end of the film, interjected, telling Pacino the novel was going to be set before the events of the 1995 film.
During an interview with The Independent, when asked if he’d be up for using the same tech for Heat 2, Pacino, not realising the novel was a prequel, said: “You’d have to ask Michael Mann, but we wouldn’t have Bob.”
