‘Heat’ is a videogame

Much of the talent behind the classic 1995 heist movie ‘Heat’, which features one of the most intense shootouts ever put on film, will confirm today that they are in talks to contribute to a videogame version of the film. The game will combine strategy with next generation FPS play. Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer are all in negotiations to provide voices and it will be overseen by writer/director Michael Mann. Yahoo says:

“The game will either be a prequel or a sequel to the film. If it is a sequel, De Niro will appear in flashback since his bank robber character was killed in the film. Should Pacino come aboard, his character will hunt down a new heist crew.”

Without Pacino and De Niro, this is pretty much just another game on the shelf. With Pacino and De Niro, this approaches a level of cool not seen since I was practicing my winking six-shooter move in the mirror Friday night.
