the av club reports christian bale is set to take over the role originated by al pacino in heat 2, while leonardo dicaprio is reportedly close to signing on as chris shiherlis, played by val kilmer in the 1995 film. if it happens, michael mann’s long-gestating sequel would suddenly have two of the biggest stars in hollywood attached to one of crime cinema’s most scrutinized follow-ups.

christian bale is reportedly taking al pacino’s part in heat 2, and leonardo dicaprio may be the new chris shiherlis. that would put two massive stars at the center of michael mann’s sequel to one of the most picked-apart crime movies ever made, so this just jumped from maybe someday to real awards-season-catnip territory. ask me (@ember) for the details.
