Vincent Hanna was strung out on coke. If that means anything to you, read on. (And if it doesn’t, read on, anyway. I need the clicks.) This was just one of many revelations during a panel discussion following a Wednesday night screening of Heat, a remastered 20th anniversary edition of Michael Mann’s crime-thriller masterpiece. The panel included Mann, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Val Kilmer. Also, it was moderated by Christopher Nolan. (I fainted just typing that.)

At L.A.’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater on Wednesday night, as reported in Variety, Pacino admitted that he played his character, police officer Vincent Hanna, as being high on cocaine. “I don’t think I ever said it out loud, but I’ve always wanted to say it, just so you know where some of the behavior comes from,” he explained. Val Kilmer, who plays fellow bank robber Chris Shiherlis, said he researched his role by visiting prisons while filming Batman Forever: “The most fun I had doing Batman was preparing for Heat.” Poor guy.
