Deadline - "Cover Story: Leonardo DiCaprio On ‘One Battle After Another’, His “No Regrets” Career And The Fight To Save Cinema"
"Q: You’ve also been working with Michael Mann on Heat 2, either as Chris Shiherlis, the role played by the late Val Kilmer, or Vincent Hanna, the detective played by Al Pacino. What can you share, and — as a guy who doesn’t usually do sequels — what are the challenges in continuing the storyline from the revered original?
A (from Leo DiCarpio): This is very much its own movie. We’re still working on it, we’re a ways away from production. It tips its hat to Heat, but it’s an homage, and it picks up the story from there. The book is already out there, so there are no big secrets that I’m divulging. It’s set in the future, and the past, from that pivotal moment in what I think is the great crime noir film of my lifetime. It’s one of those films that just keeps resonating, that we keep talking about, that has been imitated so many times and influenced so many different movies. So, we’re working on it. But it’s certainly exciting, and I think I look at it as its own silo, in a sense. We can’t duplicate what Heat was, so it’s paying homage to that film, but giving it its own unique entity."
