From Heat to Heat ⁢2 ⁤

The original “Heat” was a huge success‌ for Warner Bros. and was considered a groundbreaking film, due to its⁣ realistic violence and epic action sequences.

Mann was inspired to revisit the‌ story with Heat 2, which follows Vincent⁤ (DiCaprio) as⁣ he ⁢tries to escape the law,‌ gun down his enemies, ‌and track down Lou (Pitt). It also features top action stars⁢ such as Chris Hemsworth⁣ and Jamie Foxx.

Mann ⁢said the journey was ⁣long but worth it. “It‌ has ‌been‍ an incredible ride – from ⁢the time I first ‍wrote the script ‌to where we are now,” he said. “It was a⁢ great ⁣collaboration between all of us, ⁢and I am proud to be part of this amazing cast.”

Design Process

Mann’s design⁢ process for the movie was meticulous. ⁢He spent months researching and fine-tuning every scene to create the best⁤ possible‍ piece of art.

“I’m very detail oriented and like to make sure that ‍every shot and scene are ⁣perfect,” said Mann. “I want to make⁣ sure that⁤ the ⁤visuals are right on the ⁣money and that everything looks right.”

Mann also took the time to ensure that the costumes, props, and sets ⁢were all the same ‍as the original “Heat” ⁢to provide a⁣ seamless transition between the two films.

Marvel Movies &⁣ More

In addition⁢ to “Heat 2,” Mann⁢ has been involved in⁣ a number of blockbuster‍ films, ‌including “Thor: Ragnarok” and “Black Panther.” Mann said‍ his involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a dream come ⁢true.

“To be part of something as big as the MCU has been an absolute⁢ thrill. ⁤It’s an incredible opportunity to be at⁤ the forefront of what‍ will become a legendary franchise,” said Mann.

Mann ⁤also said that he was ⁢thrilled to work on “Black Panther,” the first Marvel movie to feature⁣ a black superhero.

“It was an amazing experience to see ‌the⁢ most powerful character in Marvel history, Black Panther, being portrayed by‌ an African-American actor,” said Mann.

Journey⁣ To His Latest Drama

Despite the long journey from‍ the‌ original ‍“Heat” ⁤to the sequel, and his involvement in a number of blockbuster hits, Mann said he never takes the success for granted.

“I’m so thankful for all of the opportunities I’ve been given ‍throughout my career, and I’m always striving to do something new and creative,” said Mann.
