Michael Mann’s Heat 2 has been a project in the works for a long time, but we now at least have confirmation of one star: In a local Chicago news interview timed to promote his upcoming new film The Bride, Christian Bale revealed that he’ll “be back in Chicago soon” to shoot the pending sequel/prequel.
Bale’s role in the project is unconfirmed, though what’s known at this time is that the Heat 2 story is said to take place in two different time periods: The 1980s and the early 2000s. (The original film was contemporary to its 1995 release.)
