The Academy celebrates Michael Mann’s Heat on the big screen with a new 4K restoration and Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Michael Mann and other cast and crew in a conversation moderated by Christopher Nolan.

The crew of a fierce, professional thief (De Niro) and an obsessively driven LAPD detective (Pacino) are locked in deadly opposition as they vector towards each other.

“So superbly matched are Pacino and De Niro that the movie seems dual-powered. They’re a study in positive and negative charisma… The movie’s protagonists gaze into the mirror and see, gazing back, a stranger living on borrowed time. Heat is Mann’s ode to mortality… midlife crisis as last chance. Each character carries an abyss inside. In Mann’s twilight vision, Los Angeles isn’t a lush playground but a sprawling necropolis.” (James Wolcott, Vanity Fair)

Written and directed by Michael Mann
Produced by Michael Mann and Art Linson
Executive Producers Arnon Milchan and Pieter Jan Brugge
Cast: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Diane Venora, Amy Brenneman, Dennis Haysbert, Ashley Judd, Mykelti Williamson, Wes Studi, Ted Levine, William Fichtner, Natalie Portman, Tom Noonan, Kevin Gage, Hank Azaria, Susan Traylor, Kim Staunton and Jon Voight
Running time: 172 minutes
Format: Heat will be presented in a new 4K DCP, restored by Stefan Sonnenfeld (Company 3) and Michael Mann.

Heat is one of my favorite films and this would of been great to attend but I only found out about it today. Either way the 4K blu-ray is supposed to be coming this fall after the screening.

Awesome! Maybe a nationwide screening in the future. I'm looking at you Fathom Events.

 

[FloatOn]

I would donate my testicles to science to go to this.

 

[Nerdkiller]

Of course it would be Nolan doing the hosting. You can just see it in his work that he wishes he made Heat.

 

[LiK]

Greatest bank robbery/firefight in film history.

 

[Livingskeletons]

Nolan really used this movie as a template for the Dark Knight.

 

[Erevador]

Ah, sold out, too bad. Would have loved this.

Mann's a great talent and fascinating person. Got to see the restored Last of the Mohicans at a screening with him a few years back and it was a great experience.

 

[strafer]

Nothing have come close to this

FUCK ME ON A STICK...

whenever I get a new sound system I always put this on.

I brought this movie to a store to test out a few systems and tvs...the people around were impressed with the sound in this movie, THEY HADN'T SEEN IT BEFORE.

I WAS LIKE...BRO

I've never seen HEAT but a couple of people have told me it is pretty dull aside from an amazing shoot-out scene. I should watch it and decide for myself, it's been on TV about a million times but I always miss it. The UHD Blu-Ray sounds like the time to jump in.

 

[darscot]

Loved this movie, one of the greatest gun fights of all time. That being said the ending is a complete cheat and to me no way Pacino doesn't get blown away.

Don't trust those people's opinion on anything...ever.

 

[JadedWriter]

Heat is probably Michael Mann at his best.

 

[strafer]

that's why everytime Michael Mann comes out with a new movie I'm looking forward to the shootout scenes the most.

 

[Hyun Sai]

Greatest Polar of all times... Perfection.

Fun fact : Danny Trejo (no listed in the Op cast) is playing a character named Trejo. Must be handy ^^

 

[Ridley327]

Awesome! Maybe a nationwide screening in the future. I'm looking at you Fathom Events.

This would be an ideal scenario.

At the very least, we can safely guess that a new Blu-ray and possible 4K disc are in the pipeline now.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Shit, there were rumblings on blu-ray forums since last year that there was a new restoration coming. Can't wait to see it however I can.

Hopefully there's a video of the conversation.

 

[magawolaz]

Truly the GOAT.

 

[strafer]

I hope the interview will be streamed.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Nice. I'll replace my regular Blu-Ray with the 4K version in a few years.

 

[RustyNails]

Anyone who dislikes Heat should be banned from making any posts about movies in neogaf. Make it law.

 

[Last_colossi]

Fucking awesome!, I won't be able to go but I'll be buying the bluray as soon as it releases.

Thanks for the info OP.

Fire those people from your life.

 

[Bleepey]

Drive by shitpody but IMO overrated dull movie. I wanted to like it.

 

[lazybones18]

Shootout needs to be heard in Dolby Atmos

 

[overcast]

Wait it's only showing that one day at that one theater? Smdh.

 

[Currygan]

Unfriend those people

 

[Walter White]

Damn. I'd gladly pay scalper prices for a chance to go.

 

[SlimySnake]

The last great Michael Mann movie.

Ok second last great, Collateral was amazing.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Why aren't these things broadcast via satellite to theaters like Rifftrax Live?

 

[Ruruja]

Shootout needs to be heard in Dolby Atmos

I'd probably take some ear-plugs lol.

 

[nortonff]

That shooting scene...

 

[Spaghetti]

OOOOO SHIT

Please let this have an international re-release.

 

[D4Danger]

I'd love a definitive version of this film. I think I've owned it on every format.

I remember the blu-ray or dvd sound mix being all messed up though so hopefully they fix that too.

The last great Michael Mann movie.

Ok second last great, Collateral was amazing.

Also The Insider

Miami Vice was amazing, just panned by critics for not being a typical comedy buddy cop like they were expecting

 

[Caj814]

One of the GREAT

Spoiler

EST

movies there is

 

[DecoReturns]

I liked collateral. Up until the last 20 mins where it became typical Hollywood movie.

 

[strafer]

only good part in Collateral is the yo homie scene

that fucking gun sound

There's a ton of character building and the writing is absolutely superb, giving each side (cops and robbers) equal treatment and development. The shootout is just icing, really.

Tell those folks to stick with the Fast & Furious series.

 

[Einchy]

don't sleep on miami vice

Sleep during it then.

Miami Vice is one of the few movies that made me fall asleep in the theater.

 

[SeanC]

Shit, I need to call some friends at the Academy on this. Must see.

 

[Fancy Clown]

Yoooo gimme dat new bluray

 

[Net_Wrecker]

NET_WRECKER GET IN HERE

I'M IN HERE.

GIVE ME ALL YA GOT! GIVE ME ALL YA GOT!

Heat doesn't have the greatest bluray, so this is great news. Can't wait to blow my ears out all over again.

 

[MANGOD]

Would love to see this in imax for the audio alone

 

[AndyD]

Of course it would be Nolan doing the hosting. You can just see it in his work that he wishes he made Heat.

Indeed.

So was Ben Affleck with The Town.

Robert Rodriguez's TV channel (El Rey) has a show on it called The Director's Chair. I've only ever watched El Rey once and it was to see his episode of it with Michael Mann. It was wonderful:
