Michael Mann’s “Heat 2,” the long-awaited sequel to his 1995 crime drama starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, is finally gaining traction.
Amazon MGM-owned United Artists and producer Scott Stuber are in final negotiations to secure the rights to “Heat 2.” The project was set up at Warner Bros., but the studio let the filmmakers shop around the film after disagreeing on the budget, according to the Hollywood Reporter, which broke the news of the potential sale.

Producers will include Mann, Jerry Bruckheimer, and UA’s Stuber and Nick Nesbitt. Eric Roth and Shane Salerno will serve as executive producers.
