Interested in the storyline, sure - on a nostalgic level. Neither did I know the first Heat was based off a book, nor that there was a prequel/sequel follow on book.
However, this is the sole reason such a movie would be made: nostalgia (as a hook).
In Hollywood, the primary motivation isn't money, no matter what the TV tells you. It's message. So a movie can be something modern with "modern audience" content, or it can be nostalgic with "modernized" content. The targets are different audiences. The modern is to mock modern culture, the modernized is to mock the older people who still "hold out hope" that maybe something might appeal to them.
There will be NOTHING redeeming about Heat 2. Bet on it, take the profitzzS$ to the bank. Better than crypto and you can get the leather detail option on your new S Class.
Laran's right, but my discipline is failing. Loved the first film. Will wait for reviews and if it's showing at my local "dollar cinema" $5 and 2-3 hours of my time might be worth it.
Agreed. Michael Mann’s last few have been very… uneven. I saw Blackhat and was massively underwhelmed. Weak action scenes IMO. I was thinking “this is the guy who did Heat?” during some of them!
On the other hand he was involved with Ford vs Ferarri which I haven’t seen but had good reviews at least.
They should have a ceremonial signing with the contracts and pens flown in on private jets. As a rocket scientist I had an idea for him for novel virtue singaling. He could have the private jets he flies on to environmental conferences equipped with one cargo hold that spews out acorns to go along with all the CO2 from the engines.
Interested in seeing, no.

As long as it has some good gunfights I am in. Sorry Laran! 😁
