The site described the incident as having occurred during a training exercise of some kind, with its sources saying the 83-year-old director had no intention of harming himself. Additional details are unclear.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">An ambulance ride to the hospital is probably not how Mann wanted to spend his Halloween in Los Angeles. While the accident took a bite out of his weekend, the filmmaker is currently putting the pieces of his <u>long-awaited Heat follow-up<\/u> together behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Our first big confirmation that the ball was rolling for Heat 2 arrived in February of this year when The Dark Knight star Christian Bale <u>confirmed<\/u> he was set to start filming the movie in Chicago soon. Inception&#8217;s Leonardo DiCaprio boarded the project in July, with both he and Bale then reportedly said to play Chris Shiherlis and Vincent Hanna, respectively. Filming was expected to begin in November, this month, at the time.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">The Best Al Pacino Movies<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"We've compiled a short list of Al Pacino's 10 Best Movies, from Mafia bosses to compromised detectives to short-tempered Army vets to...
