Het vervolg op de hitfilm Heat: topspanning van een prijswinnend thrillerschrijfster en een bekroond filmmaker. Michael Mann, producent met diverse Oscarnominaties en schrijver-regisseur van Heat en Miami Vice, keert samen met thrillerschrijver Meg Gardiner terug naar de wereld en personages van zijn blockbusterfilm Heat. Heat 2 is zowel een prequel als vervolg op de veelgeprezen film, maar dan in boekvorm. Het verhaal gaat over de vormende jaren van rechercheur Vincent Hanna en over elitecriminelen Neil McCauley, Chris Shiherlis en Nate. Het grijpt terug op eerdere gebeurtenissen en gaat daarna verder met nieuwe personages aan beide kanten van de wet, spectaculaire overvallen en filmische actiescènes. In deze thriller staat de gevaarlijke werking van internationale misdaadorganisaties centraal: van de straten van Los Angeles en misdaadsyndicaten in Paraguay tot een witwasoperatie van drugskartels in Mexico. ‘Eindelijk, na meer dan 25 jaar krijgt Michael Manns Heat een vervolg. Niet een filmvervolg, maar wel een boek. Regisseur Michael Mann was ooit verantwoordelijk voor het uiterst geliefde Heat uit 1995, met onder meer Al Pacino, Robert De Niro en Val Kilmer. Daarna verschenen nog enkele topfilms van Mann.’ Filmtotaal 'Michael Mann maakt zijn debuut als romanschrijver met een literair vervolg op zijn legendarische misdaadfilm Heat. Het boek, getiteld Heat 2, ligt dit najaar in de schappen. De actiefilm uit 1995 was het eerste optreden van Pacino en De Niro samen op het scherm en werd al snel een hit.’ Entertainmenthoek ‘Let op: niet voor tere zieltjes.’ NBD
