New Regency sues over Heat screenplay rights.

Michael Mann is set to begin shooting Heat 2 in January, so the sequel has a place on the calendar. The original Heat, meanwhile, is back in a rights fight. New Regency, which produced the 1995 film, has sued Mann, arguing that it still owns the copyright to the original screenplay. Mann is seeking to reclaim those rights. One film has a planned start to shooting; the other’s script is now at the center of a court case.
