For a great actor who has shown his chops and paid his dues, he richly deserves material a bit more interesting than what he's being offered. But if he has to be a hitman, just simply has to be, then how about a continuation of "Body Heat" alongside original cast members William Hurt and Kathleen Turner (Ted Danson and J.A. Preston). Toward the end of that film, Hurt went to prison in 1981 for murder; Mickey's character also, for two-counts of arson resulting from his foolish involvement (separately) with Hurt and Turner. Now it's almost 30 years later and Hurt has been released. Once he's on the outside, he hires Mickey, who's been paroled, to track down and take out Turner, the self-made widow/billionaire having murdered her way into becoming a prominent doyenne of fashionable society. But there's a twist.... "Body Heat" is just what Hollywood is looking for: a brand name with a built-in audience; a sequel that offers both old and new panting fans of Mickey Rourke something old and new to pant about.
