Robert De Niro will reunite with Heat director Michael Mann on his new movie Frankie Machine.
The film is based on Don Winslow's novel The Winter of Frankie Machine, about a retired hitman who once more becomes involved in his former mob lifestyle when he finds out he has been set up to be murdered.
De Niro, who starred in Mann's 1995 film, signed up to the movie two years ago when Paramount bought the book rights. He will also produce the picture through his own company, Tribeca Films.
