EXCLUSIVE: Michael Mann is in talks to develop to direct The Big Stone Grid, a cop thriller that Sony Pictures bought as a spec script last year by S. Craig Zahler. Michael De Luca, who’s on the Oscar circuit for Moneyball, is producing ths one. The script is a hard-edged thriller in the vein of Seven and Marathon Man, about two decorated detectives who uncover a terrifying extortion ring that operates within the secret underbelly of New York City. The plan is for Mann to do a pass with the scribe, but don’t be surprised if he relocates the action to L.A., where he made such crime sagas as Heat and Collateral. Mann is likely to next direct Go Like Hell, the duel between Ford vs. Ferrari for sports car supremacy in the 60s that he is developing at Fox. He’s also exec producing the HBO series Luck with David Milch. That series, which was renewed for a second season, is building into quite an interesting look at the world of horse racing at Santa Anita. Mann is repped by CAA.

Wow, yes, sign me up!
Great script. This could be a classic.
Okay script.
Do the cop movie first. You are a great movie maker and the more I see HEAT, I appreciate it that much more. I heard you werent really a pleasant guy to work with. But if you can make the INSIDER one of my top 5, I will show up for everything you do. Luck started a little slow…but I am into it now. Good Luck…
the Ford Ferrari movie will put you out of action for awhile…
COP LA…
Wonder how this bodes for his Paul Haggis gold project..
Not a big Mann fan and wish they’d keep it in NYC
Come Mike… have you seen LUCK? It’s incomprehensible!
It is building into great characters that we will all invest in. be more patient
Incomprehensible to YOU.
Stick to books with pop up pictures.
The best.
I too find LUCK sometimes hard to follow. I would have rather seen Mann do GOLD next, but I’ll watch anything Mann…
I waited for Mann’s Robert Capa project. Oh God, these great directors like Mann or Ridley Scott have so much great things lined up.
I’m really looking forward to the next crime/cop thriller by Michael Mann. Nothing will ever touch Heat, but who would want to?! Popcorn is ready…
Auy, Mr. Mann you make “Luck” but can you be my right place, at the right time…. Not being sarcastic, just very curious….
Thank you kindly laddie….
if MICHAEL is boring to work with not at all,one fabulous and achever of acomplishements perfectionist all into the details and the all combination,peace by peace the unifying of the totality as the big stone for shure a new story detailed and a new vision,the past is of couse prefect and the future is to be masterd by the best MANN
Sir Michael Mann i am a huge fan of yours. your movies are engrossing and brilliant masterpiece’s which are even very informative as well specially THE INSIDER it’s intelligent, dynamite compelling, riveting, deeply moving, shocking and a absorbing edge of your seat potent conspiracy corporate thriller which the people have called it the best whistle blower story ever told based on a true story it was powerful and griping from beginning to the end despite it’s run time of 2 hours and 37 mins not once i looked at my watch. you have a huge influence on me. and your crime drama’s are powerful and engrossing as well HEAT in my opinion is a epic crime saga which had an enormous impact on the film industry and it’s considered the best crime heist thrillers ever made. the character development is stylish charismatic and sophisticated which is fascinating the dialogue is complexed matching the character’s style and personalities the plot is huge and complexed the suspense is riveting and compelling and the story is flawless. just one word to describe HEAT outstanding.
THIEF is a philosophical crime thriller. Thief embues the crime story genre with fresh sophistication and style Not just the best film of your career, but one of the best American mob films of the whole of the 1980s. COLLATERAL is a first rate intense taut stylish crime thriller that shoots to thrill. Every bit as satisfying as a crime thriller should be, keeping us hanging at every turn. As the credits roll, we are out of breath. MIAMI VICE A highly satisfying piece of stylish pop entertainment. This somber action picture bravely defies expectations and gives us something wholly new Crime drama it’s visually enthralling a relentlessly stylish crime drama one of your most accomplished and richest works to date. so my suggestion to you sir is you should develop the project of THE BIG STONE GRID underground crime thriller and satisfy us with an original and fresh story which will create history and impact like HEAT did. you are the most suitable director for the crime thriller genre because no director can make a crime thriller like you. you are regarded as the king of crime thrillers and cops and robbers films and they are many directors imitating your style you do justice to the crime thriller genre and we are expecting you to make this movie eagerly. we are all hoping and anticipating for THE BIG STONE GRID to be your next film released in 2014.
