Michael Mann has plans to adapt his sequel novel Heat 2 into a movie, but in recasting Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer, he faces a near impossible challenge. The original Heat had a long journey to reach the big screen, with Mann penning the screenplay during the late '70s. He didn't plan on directing it, however, and offered it to Walter Hill (48 Hrs), who passed. Mann later revived Heat as a planned television series in the wake of his success producing Miami Vice. Renamed L.A. Takedown, Mann himself shot a condensed version of the screenplay as a pilot in only 19 days.
