Hollywood stars Christian Bale and Leonardo S.p.A. meet in director Michael Mann's new film "Heat 2".
On the 24th (local time), foreign media reported that Christian Bale and Leonardo S.p.A. will appear together in director Michael Mann's new film "Heat 2."
"Heat 2" is a sequel released 32 years after Michael Mann's 1995 film "Heat." The original, with appearances by Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and other legendary Hollywood actors, was warmly received. In particular, the downtown shootout scene was highly praised and the film is regarded as a representative 1990s crime movie.
Director Michael Mann was invited last year as a special talk guest to the 30th Busan International Film Festival and looked back on his film career with Korea director Ryu Seung-wan. At the time he also said he was preparing "Heat 2" based on a novel he had written with characters like those in "Heat," raising expectations; the new film is expected to combine the prequel and sequel of "Heat."
In "Heat 2," Christian Bale is reported to take the role of Vincent, which Al Pacino played in the original, and Leonardo S.p.A. is reported to take the role of Chris, which Val Kilmer played in the original. In addition to them, Austin Butler and Adam Driver are also reported to co-star. In particular, the meeting of two prominent Hollywood stars well known in Korea, Christian Bale and Leonardo S.p.A., in one film heightens anticipation.
"Heat 2" is expected to start filming this summer and become a blockbuster with location shoots across Los Angeles and Las Vegas in the U.S., Singapore and South America. It is scheduled to open in 2027.<
