Heat 2’s Michael Mann Mentions Superhero Movies While Explaining What Prompted The Upcoming Follow-Up

Don’t let the name fool you: Michael Mann’s Heat is cold as ice in its delivery.

It’s the quintessential 90’s crime movie that is just as grand as it was almost three decades ago. Now, Michael Mann, who is fresh off Ferrari starring Adam Driver and has since given an update on the status of Heat 2, isn’t sugar…

Ferrari review – fast cars, slow storytelling from Michael Mann | Drama films

It’s a film full of seductively curvaceous, lipstick-red sports cars tearing through the Italian countryside, with a side helping of explosively passionate marital discord. And this undeniably handsome 1957-set biopic of Enzo Ferrari (Adam Driver), former racing driver and now the owner of a car company on the brink of financial collapse, is directed by Michael Mann, a film-maker who, with pictures such as The Insider, Ali and Miami Vice, has a proven knack for propulsive, high stakes dramas. Which is why it’s surprising…

‘They thought racing movies never made money’: Michael Mann’s 30-year quest to bring Ferrari to the screen | Michael Mann

As you look around Michael Mann’s office, in an anonymous building in downtown Los Angeles, clues as to the subject of his latest film aren’t hard to find. On the windowsill sits a glass box with a model of a bright red Ferrari inside. On a shelf behind his desk there is a row of books about the revered Italian car manufacturer.

Aimee Mann: ‘Any woman my age is traumatised by growing up in the 60s and 70s’ | Music

In Los Angeles, it’s early and overcast. “It has that six-in-the-morning feel,” says Aimee Mann, eternally droll, from a home office wallpapered in fruity foliage. “So it’s been hard to get going.” Drab weather demands good knitwear, and Mann has paired thick-rimmed round glasses the size of ashtrays with a brown woollen sweater vest. She admits, with a whaddaya-gonna-do shrug, that she bought the Alexa Chung garm off Instagram. “I’ve actually bought several things from Instagram ads,” she says sheepishly. “How do they…
