According to Variety, Michael Mann, who is set to begin shooting 'Heat 2' in January, is pursuing legal action to reclaim the copyright to his screenplay for the original 1995 film 'Heat'. New Regency, which produced the original film, filed a lawsuit on Friday arguing that it still owns the copyright. Earlier this year, Mann’s lawyers sent termination notices seeking to reclaim the rights, but New Regency contends that the screenplay was a 'work made for hire' and is therefore ineligible for copyright termination.
