Michael Mann on ‘Ferrari,’ Writing ‘Heat 2’ and Making the Original: ‘I Could Not Figure Out How Val Kilmer Could Tolerate Being Val Kilmer’ https://t.co/XZCX1MjYwg

Mann says he has plans for “Heat 2” to shoot in 2024, and has been putting the final touches on the script that he calls both a “prequel and sequel.”
Reflecting on his time making the original “Heat,” which starred Val Kilmer, he smiles. “I could not figure out how Val Kilmer could tolerate being Val Kilmer,” he says. “In any scene, an actor and director do scene analysis. What is the action or what does this character want? Sometimes, it’s in the text; sometimes, it’s in the subtext. Val would have seven or eight different reactions and modalities, every one of which was great. I couldn’t imagine having such artistic range and depth — more than it’s possible to control.”
ONTD has anyone ever given you a backhanded compliment?
