Michael Mann greeted guests via video at a retrospective screening of Heat, saying he’d tested positive for Covid so had to stay away.
Producer Art Linson and stars Al Pacino and Robert De Niro took the stage at the United Palace Theatre in Washington Heights without the writer/director of the iconic crime drama.But not without a few words: “I’m incredibly disappointed not to be with all of you this evening,” Mann said in a recorded message. “At the Broadway Deli in 1994, I told Art, let’s produce my screenplay and find a director, because maybe I wouldn’t direct it.
He told me I was crazy — so this is all his fault,” he joked. “I tested positive for Covid two days ago. I am feeling great and will be out of isolation in a few days.
I was so anticipating sitting with good friends, family and fans of the film to experience watching the 4k ultra high-def restoration of Heat.”Mann is quarantining in Italy where he’s working on his next film, the biopic Ferrari with Adam Driver.Making an appearance in NYC, however, were early copies of ‘Heat 2,’ the novel Mann wrote with Edgar-winning scribe Meg Gardiner that’s coming out in August.
