Since his last big-screen outing in the prohibition, era gangster flick Public Enemies, Michael Mann has focused his attention on the HBO mini-series Luck.
Not it seems, it wont be long before we look through Mann’s gritty hybrid-digital-celluloid lens once again as it has emerged that he has entered talks with Sony to develop detective thriller The Big Grid. Plot details are sketchy and subject to change but, according to Empire, the story follows ‘two hardened detectives who uncover a wide-ranging extortion ring that stretches across the underbelly of New York.’
Given Mann’s previous crime-thriller work like Heat, Collateral and Public Enemies, I personally, as a fan, cannot wait to see what he brings to this project. He will work on the project with screenwriter S. Craig Zahler to tailor the story to his liking.
It is unclear as to whether this will be Mann’s next feature-outing as he has many other projects waiting such as Go Like Hell the story of the Ford-Ferrari racing rivalry on the 1960s.
