It would be difficult for him to shoot on-location for a prequel. Post-processing could help, but the switching from sodium vapor to LEDs has really changed the look of the city.

While rumors have been swirling for weeks, Deadline is hearing Warner Bros. is now in negotiations to come on to develop Heat 2, the sequel to the 1995 classic that Mann recently turned into a novel that became a New York Time #1 best-seller when it was published last August. On top of Warner Bros. in talks to return, insiders add that Adam Driver, who recently starred in Mann’s Ferrari pic, is in discussions with Mann to play young Neil McCauley in the movie.

Heat 2 was penned by Mann and Meg Gardiner and is a novelization of Mann’s film and tells the story of everything that happens before and after to the principal characters. The novel jumps between two time periods, the first following Chris Shiherlis as he tries to evade LAPD and Detective Vincent Hanna following the bank robbery gone bad with the second taking us back to Chicago in 1988 when McCauley, Chris Shiherlis, and their high-line crew are taking scores on the West Coast, the US-Mexican border, and now in Chicago. At the same time, Hanna is cutting his teeth as a rising star in the Chicago police department chasing an ultraviolent gang of home invaders

The fallout from McCauley’s scores and Hanna’s pursuit cause unexpected repercussions in a parallel narrative.

Since the top of the year, rumors have been swirling around the internet over what talent would either return or which new actors would take on younger version of these roles that have since become iconic. From Al Pacino returning to play Hanna in present times to Ana de Armas playing McCauley’s love interest in the 1988 timeline, fans could not stop dream casting these parts but insiders say Driver is the only actor to commit to the role after the two began discussing the idea of Driver playing McCauley during production. No other actor is currently on board.

Driver's been fancasted for months now, but usually as Pacino's Hannah....Wonder who Mann has in mind for that role? I think Oscar Issacs would be good. Of course, everybody thinks Austin Butler is gonna be the Kilmer part, but Butler just signed on to his own crime epic today with an adaptation of "City of Fire". Would he want to do both?
