The award-winning performers from Netflix’s Adolescence are continuing their hot streaks with exciting new projects.
The latest example is Stephen Graham, co-creator and star of the streamer’s smash-hit series. The English actor, 53, scooped up a pair of Emmys and a number of other prestigious awards last year for his astounding work on Adolescence.
Next comes Michael Mann‘s highly anticipated sequel to Heat, Deadline reports, arriving more than 30 years after the original. That one starred Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, as fans well know, and Heat 2 has already confirmed Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale as part of the cast.
Also starring alongside Adam Driver, Jason Clarke and Odessa Young, Graham is rumored to be playing a younger version of master thief Neil McCauley, portrayed by De Niro, 83, in the first Heat, Deadline also noted on Tuesday, September 8.
Some fans might not know this part, however: Heat 2 is also a No. 1 New York Times bestselling novel published in 2022 that Mann, 83, wrote with Meg Gardiner.
The book serves as both a sequel and prequel to the original, looking at the early lives of both McCauley and Vincent Hanna (played by Pacino, 86). It also delves into the story of Chris Shiherlis (played by the late, great Val Kilmer) after he survived the first film’s bank robbery climax.
Breaking Down the Classic Edge of Heat
Heat was a landmark blockbuster that saw De Niro and Pacino sharing the screen for the first time ever. For such a timeless classic, film buffs might find it surprising that the crime thriller only holds a 84% average critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
As Parade put it earlier this month, the reason Heat really works outside of being a really engaging and entertaining crime thriller is the masterclass Mann puts on as both a director and a writer. Heat is ultimately a film exploring the destructive side of obsession, and how that relates to the inherently selfish pursuit of violence.
