===2001–present === [[File:Майкл Манн на 69-м Венецианском кинофестивале..JPG|thumb|right|Mann in 2012]] With his next film, ''[[Ali (film)|Ali]]'' (2001), starring [[Will Smith]], Mann started experimenting with digital cameras. For his action thriller film ''[[Collateral (film)|Collateral]]'', which cast [[Tom Cruise]] against type by giving him the role of a hitman, Mann shot all of the exterior scenes digitally so that he could achieve more depth and detail during the night scenes while shooting most of the interiors on film stock. [[Jamie Foxx]] was nominated for an [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] for his performance in ''Collateral''. In 2004, Mann produced [[Martin Scorsese]]'s ''[[The Aviator (2004 film)|The Aviator]]'', based on the life of [[Howard Hughes]], which he had developed with [[Leonardo DiCaprio]]. ''The Aviator'' was nominated for an [[Academy Award for Best Picture]] but lost to ''[[Million Dollar Baby]]''. After ''Collateral'', Mann directed the film adaptation of ''[[Miami Vice (film)|Miami Vice]]'' which he also executive produced. The film starred [[Colin Farrell]] as [[Don Johnson]]'s character Sonny Crockett, and Jamie Foxx filling [[Philip Michael Thomas]]' shoes. Mann directed the 2002 "[[Lucky Star (advertisement)|Lucky Star]]" advertisement for [[Mercedes-Benz]], which took the form of a film trailer for a purported thriller featuring [[Benicio del Toro]]. In the fall of 2007, Mann directed two commercials for [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]]. The ad campaign "Leave Nothing" features football action scenes with former [[NFL]] players [[Shawne Merriman]] and [[Steven Jackson]], as well as using the score "Promontory" from the soundtrack of ''The Last of the Mohicans''.<ref name="Atkinson, Claire">{{cite news|last=Atkinson|first=Claire|date=October 27, 2007|title=Sure, He can Direct Movies, but Can He Do Commercials?|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/22/business/media/22adco.html?_r=1&oref=slogin|access-date=September 9, 2008}}</ref> Mann directed the 2008 promotional video for [[Ferrari]]'s [[Ferrari California|California]] sports car.<ref>{{Cite web|title=3 Thrilling Ads By Director Michael Mann|url=https://boldcontentvideo.com/2016/02/05/3-thrilling-ads-by-director-michael-mann/|last=Savage|first=Jonathan|date=February 5, 2016|website=Bold Content Video Production|language=en-GB|access-date=May 27, 2020}}</ref> Mann was producer with [[Peter Berg]] as director for ''[[The Kingdom (2007 film)|The Kingdom]]'' and ''[[Hancock (film)|Hancock]]''. ''Hancock'' stars [[Will Smith]] as a hard-drinking superhero who has fallen out of favor with the public and who begins to have a relationship with the wife ([[Charlize Theron]]) of a public relations expert ([[Jason Bateman]]), who is helping him to repair his image. Mann makes a cameo appearance in the film as an executive. In 2009, Mann wrote and directed ''[[Public Enemies (2009 film)|Public Enemies]]'' for [[Universal Pictures]], about the [[The Great Depression|Depression]]-era crime wave, based on [[Bryan Burrough]]'s nonfiction book, ''Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34''. It starred [[Johnny Depp]] and [[Christian Bale]].<ref name="Garrett">{{cite magazine | last = Garrett | first = Diane | title = Johnny Depp goes ''Public'' | magazine = [[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | date = December 5, 2007 | url = https://www.variety.com/VR1117977137.html | access-date = December 4, 2007}}</ref> Depp played [[John Dillinger]] in the film, and Bale played [[Melvin Purvis]], the FBI agent in charge of capturing Dillinger.
