In addition to Pacino, Mortensen, and Travolta, this film will also star Shia LaBeouf (Honey Boy), Rebecca Pidgeon (Heist), and Courtney Love (The People vs. Larry Flynt). On top of directing the film, Mamet also co-wrote the script with Nicholas Celozzi, and the production will kick off in Vancouver, Canada this fall.

Assassination will retell the story of John F. Kennedy’s murder from the mob’s point of view, shifting the focus to the Chicago mob kingpin Sam Giancana. Conspiracy theorists often speculated he was the one who ordered JFK’s assassination as payback for trying to undermine the mob.

Arclight Films’ chairman Gary Hamilton described this film as an absolutely fantastic project, brilliantly crafted by Mamet.

“Assassination is a riveting and gripping thriller set in a pivotal period in American history… With the undeniable talent of David Mamet at the helm and our stellar cast led by Viggo Mortensen, Al Pacino, Shia LaBeouf, and John Travolta, the stars have truly aligned,” said Hamilton.

While attending the book promotion at the United Palace Theater in Manhattan’s Washington Heights, Pacino was asked who should play him in Heat 2 and his answer was met with bursting applause. He suggested Timothée Chalamet should take over his role, and described him as “a wonderful actor”.

The original Heat movie came out in 1995, and it followed obsessive police Lieutenant Vincent Hanna (Pacino) tracking down master criminal Neil McCauley (Robert DeNiro) and his gang. DeNiro joined Pacino at the book promotion, but Mann had to miss it after being diagnosed with Covid and only tuned in via video call.

Heat 2 marks Mann’s debut as a novelist, and it serves as both the sequel and the prequel to the original film, tracking the backstories of the characters before 1995, with a projection of where their lives would take them after. Meg Gardiner co-wrote the book with Mann, but Hollywood studios are yet to buy movie rights for a potential adaptation.

Sniff takes place at a high-end luxury retirement community, where two residents died under suspicious circumstances. The title of the film stands as an acronym for Senior Nursing Institute & Family Foundation, and it follows the adventures of a retired detective (Freeman) and his former partner (DeVito) as they try to solve this crime.

This exciting project will launch worldwide sales at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival, and it’s been described as a stylish reinvention of the film noir genre. Adam Goodman, whose producing the film alongside Matt Skiena through their Dichotomy Creative Group, is hoping Sniff will hit the theaters in the fourth quarter of 2022 and give the veteran audience a good reason to hit the theaters.

“Adult audiences are wildly underserved right now, and it feels like there is a great opportunity here. This film can play broadly but it can be a real event for that community. We really haven’t seen this type of cast since the Ocean’s Eleven movies,” Goodman told Deadline.

The conspiracy thriller drama was created by David Weil and executive produced by Jordan Peele. The first season premiered on February 21.

Hunters follows a band of Nazi hunters living in 1977 New York City who have discovered that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials have been living amongst them and conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the United States.

Al Pacino, Logan Lerman, Jerrika Hinton, Josh Radnor, Kate Mulvany, Tiffany Boone, Greg Austin, Louis Ozawa, Carol Kane, Saul Rubinek, Dylan Baker, and Lena Olin starred in the first season.

Weil’s inspiration for the series was from his grandmother who was a Holocaust survivor. “She would tell us (my brothers and I) about her experiences during the war. They were stories of great good versus terrifying evil. But they were stories of hope and courage and survival,” he said. “Growing up, I could see those stories through the prism of superheroes and comic books. That’s how I understood who she was, this superhero in my mind,” Weil told Deadline in June.
