Michael Mann

These filmmakers took their own films and updated them.

The director of ‘Heat’s latest film is a biopic of the car designer and businessman.

Get a first look at Michael Mann’s new film.

But new stars would be involved.

(It’s a book, not a movie.)

The director is giving us another glimpse into the world with a prequel book.

With the 25th anniversary of Michael Mann's ‘The Last of the Mohicans,’ we examine the film's most enduring legacy: its music.

As currently working American directors of action cinema go, you can‘t do a whole lot better than Michael Mann. And in Mann’s filmography, you can‘t do a whole lot better than Heat. His 1995 magnum opus is a gem of committed masculine performance, from the robbers’ finely tailored robbin’ suits to the concluding note of man-to-man camaraderie. And in between the hyper-masc displays of honor and strength, Mann stages some of the most technically accomplished set pieces of his career, all but putting the audience’s nerves through a paper shredder. Heat will get a re-release later this year with a full director’s cut (though the changes will be mostly limited to image processing), but today brings the news that another Mann film is taking on a second life.

After eating nothing but air and grass for 17 years to stay buff as Wolverine (just kidding, he probably ate chicken and broccoli or something slightly more appetizing), Jackman is now in talks to play Enzio Ferrari in Michael Mann‘s upcoming biopic.
