While Michael Mann, 80, has been hinting at a sequel to 1995’s “Heat” as being in development, he has yet another project on the horizon and it sounds very Mann-esque.
Variety reports that the filmmaker is working on an adaptation of Ryoo Seung-wan’s 2015 crime thriller “Veteran”, a massive hit in South Korea and the 5th highest-grossing film in the country’s history.
“Veteran” follows a detective who is tracking down a young, and wealthy, business owner who is running his own crime syndicate. Mann’s version would be set in a U.S. city.
The film is said to be in the development stage, Mann is definitely producing and writing the screenplay, but hasn’t officially said he would be directing the project as well.
