Michael Mann has for some time now been a name that conjures plenty of critical and box office expectation at the box office, but the latest word has it that the filmmaker will be turning his attention to a Vietnam TV miniseries next in the form of Hue 1968.
According to Deadline, Mann and co-producer Michael De Luca have just secured the rights to adapt the non-fiction book Hue 1968 by Mark Bowden into an eight-to-ten hour TV miniseries.
Even though his last feature film — namely Blackhat from 2015 — faced significant financial losses at the box office and received mixed reviews overall, fans of Mann haven’t lost interest in the filmmaker.
In that light, it should come as no surprise that Mann would be hard at work securing a position on a new project over the course of the past couple of years in the form of Hue 1968.
