Kevin Costner ignored calls to make 'Horizon: An American Saga' a TV series as he treasures the big screen "experience".The first two chapters in the Oscar-winning star's Western epic will be released this summer (with two more to follow in the future) and Kevin explained that he has taken a gamble by releasing the saga in cinemas.Speaking to Empire magazine, he said: "I had somebody who said, 'Look, please don't do this, Kevin, let's do this.'"But I'm glad about what I'm doing. I believe in the big screen. I believe in that experience. I also believe in what will come to your television. You know, I'm not one of those guys that has a director's cut. The f****** movie I make is the director's cut."Kevin, 69, has contributed around $58 million of his own money to fund the film and hopes that the project leaves a lasting impression on audiences.

Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone counts among the rare few projects in Hollywood that have managed to not only garner love and respect among fans and critics but also shock and awe among industry experts for its sheer scale of storytelling. It comes as no surprise then that the ending of such a greatly beloved series would be met with a little resistance, even from its own cast members.

Their story which was supposed to stretch for no less than 7 seasons has been abruptly cut short and with the series already in its final leg, emotion cuts particularly deep knowing they have to forever leave behind the characters they nurtured to grow for the past 7 years.

Kevin Costner has been a very committed actor who continues to give his all with every film he does. His breakout role in The Untouchables led him to many acclaimed performances in films like Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, and A Perfect World among others. He has also established himself as a great filmmaker directing two impressive westerns Dances With Wolves and Open Range.

Costner has been dreaming about his passion project Horizon: An American Saga since the 90s, envisioning it as a four-film saga. Costner has already shot the first two films and recently premiered the first film at Cannes. Unfortunately, it received mediocre reviews which put into question the fate of the remaining three films, in addition to the actor/director finding problems filming parts 3 and 4.

Kevin Costner’s hugely ambitious western movie series Horizon – An American Saga still needs more money to get the last two films shot.
We’re just over three weeks away from the release of Kevin Costner’s passionate project – or at least the first part of it – Horizon: An American Saga – Part 1. This is Costner’s return to the director’s chair for the first time since Open Range over 20 years ago, in a project that he’s conceived, co-written, and takes the lead role in.
Already pretty much complete is Horizon: An American Saga – Part 2. But Costner has envisaged this as a four part movie series, and once he’d completed some promotional work for the first movie, he was off to Utah to start filming the rest of the saga.
Still, these films aren’t cheap, and while Costner has put a fair amount of his own funds into them,...

Taylor Sheridan may not have much to offer in terms of acting experience but when it comes to crafting masterpieces from words, he may as well be the Picasso of television. With a perception of human complexities and an understanding of the nature of human psychology, Sheridan has woven together an oeuvre of films and TV series unparalleled in their sheer scale and gravity.

Over the years, Matt Damon has turned into one of the biggest names in Hollywood. He was the protagonist of his own film series, has been in many Oscar-winning projects, has been nominated for the award five times himself, and even won once. It is safe to say that he is one of the most talented, respected, and recognized actors in the film industry.

While most know Kevin Costner for all the masterpieces he has led to date which include credits like Yellowstone and Dances with Wolves, not many know that the actor cum producer has led some epically disastrous projects as well. And while these projects didn’t necessarily drown because of his acting, one of them did, in fact, end up in the dump because of its bloated budget.

This dates back to the 1990s, when having budgets for a project in tens of millions was already considered high, let alone one in hundreds of millions, like Waterworld, which was, pretty much, one of the biggest disasters in Hollywood. The reason behind this was Costner himself, who ended up shooting up the budget by a whopping 35 times than what was required!

Disney and Pixar Animation are hoping to make a comeback with this sequel to Pete Docter‘s 2015 Oscar-winning animated blockbuster, which grossed $850.6 million worldwide after opening with $90.4 million domestically. Directed by Kelsey Mann, the sequel introduces a number of new emotions including Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, Envy voiced by Emmy winner Ayo Edebiri, Paul Walter Hauser voicing Embarassment, and Adèle Exarchopoulos as Ennui (because it’s a French emotion). Mindy Kaling‘s Disgust has also been recast with Liza Lapira from “The Equalizer.” In the “before times,” there was little reason for this not to open with more than $100 million,...

The big question that keeps popping up amid Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone fallout is whether the Oscar-winning actor will ever return to the Paramount series without further escalation of the already overblown drama.
As fans, critics, and studio execs watch the unfolding situation that can arguably rival the plot of Yellowstone itself, Costner remains divided over his attachment to the series that very much propelled him to the forefront of fame and relevance as an A-lister.

Taylor Sheridan established himself as one of the finest Western storytellers in an era when the genre was on a decline. Sheridan carved a name for himself in the television business by creating mega-hit shows like Yellowstone and its various spin-offs while his Western films such as Wind River also received critical acclaim.

Kevin Costner’s upcoming film and his passion project, Horizon: An American Saga enjoyed a promising debut at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. The audience’s enthusiastic response, including a seven-minute standing ovation, moved the director to tears, as he thanked the audience and promised a similar epic journey with the upcoming three sequels of the film series.

However, the same response is not reflected in the film’s critical reception, as the epic western saga opened to a disappointing 30% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes with critics sharing their mixed reaction to Costner’s passion project, for which the actor has risked it all.

If there’s one thing many fans don’t know about Kevin Costner, it is that he’s the funniest guy to be around on movie sets. At least, that’s what costar Dane Cook told the press. The actor is widely recognized for his role in Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone.

Kevin Costner made headlines for the Cannes premiere of his directorial magnum opus Horizon: An American Saga. The actor-filmmaker received a seven-minute standing ovation for the epic Western, which will be released in two parts in June and August. The actor also clarified many aspects of his feud with Yellowstone and its creator Taylor Sheridan.
While Costner deals with his controversial exit from the show, his father reportedly warned him not to do the series in the first place. The actor mentioned in an interview that his father was not a fan of the show and how his character was depicted and hence did not want Costner to join the cast.

After proving his worth in Taylor Sheridan’s neo-western drama Yellowstone, Kevin Costner has continued his tryst with the genre with his latest film Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 which he has written, produced, directed, and starred in. Set during the American Civil War period, the movie is the first installment in a 4 part film series that premiered in the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

But the drama does not seem to have caught the fancy of critics, ahead of its US release at the end of June, and has also currently earned a poor Rotten Tomatoes rating following its premiere. But fans of Costner are standing firmly by their icon’s side and have quoted another legend who also faced a similar fate last year, but quickly made up the numbers with his iconic film.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are unforgettable actors. And even early in their careers, they stood out in a sea of extras, according to Kevin Costner.
In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Costner recalled his memories of the young stars working on Field of Dreams.
“They were sitting in the stands, like college guys, and they came up, and they both leaned in at the same time, leaned back at the same time, looked at each other at the same time as we talked,” he says. “And they had this big enthusiasm. They were on fire. I do remember them, absolutely.”
Jimmy Kimmel then read a text message from Damon, who recalled the moment from his perspective.

Romantic comedy used to be a thing of the past, but Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney managed to bring it back to the mainstream with Anyone But You. In this world where cinema has been saturated with superhero films and blockbuster franchises, a rom-com movie is perhaps people’s last option.

Few periods on the calendar mean more to cinephiles than the two weekends in May occupied by the Cannes Film Festival. Since its founding in 1946, the French festival has been a launchpad for some of the most artistically significant films of all time. The Palme d’Or is one of the most coveted film awards on the planet, and the festival’s ability to balance subversive arthouse work with major Hollywood premieres has led many to view it as the world’s most significant celebration of cinema.
The 2024 lineup featured a mix of buzzy premieres from New Hollywood titans like Francis Ford Coppola and Paul Schrader alongside exciting new works from emerging directors. Between the Main Competition, Un Certain Regard, special screenings, and sidebars like the Directors’ Fortnight and Critics’ Week, the onslaught of new films can be overwhelming for anyone who isn’t able to give the festival their 24/7 attention.

Kevin Costner has been connected to a lot of projects throughout his tenure as an actor, with one of his most remarkable performances being that of John Dutton in Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone lore. This is why, when fans found out the saga was going to get cut short because he was leaving to helm his own Horizon saga, they were nothing short of devastated.

That being mentioned, there has been a lot of controversy about how Costner was going to leave the lore and what was to happen to his character. And, the most recent solution to this problem, shared by the John Dutton portrayer himself, is a completely different one than the ones told before and is one that might as well end up upsetting the Western’s fans.

Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 is officially out. The movie he’d risked so much for, his dream project that the actor was cooking for many years, trying to get the funding for it… In the end, Costner took a massive gamble and poured tens of millions of his own money into making Horizon — but we severely underestimated just how much money it was.
Kevin Costner Spent a Fortune on Horizon
There are two major ways in which Costner took immense risks to make Horizon come true. The first one is, of course, his career: the Western star lost his lead part in Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone to work on Horizon and likely rejected some other offers to make time for his own project. But that’s not even the main thing.
For many years, Costner was failing to find production companies willing to fund Horizon.

Talking to Kevin Costner after the Cannes premiere of “Horizon: An American Saga,” IndieWire’s Anne Thompson asked the filmmaker if he thought he could improve on Taylor Sheridan’s “Yellowstone.” Costner starred as John Dutton for five seasons; he is unmentioned in the press release for the sixth, which just began production.
“No, of course not,” he said.
However, Costner noted, it could be the other way around: During the second season of “Yellowstone” in 2019, he said, Sheridan was looking for writers. He and Baird sent him the “Horizon” script. Thompson noted that both “1883” and “Horizon” share a wagon train story.
“So I don’t know if there’s any duplications there,” Costner said. “Whether he borrowed something, only he’d have to admit to.” (Reps for Sheridan did not respond to multiple requests for comment.)
Vague accusations of “borrowing” aren’t new to “Yellowstone.” It’s a popular topic on fan sites,...

This year will mark the end of ‘Yellowstone,’ even though seasons 6 and 7 were originally planned for it. However, despair not, even though creator Taylor Sheridan says the ending was rushed, he did confirm that he was still able to wrap it up the way it would have been done even if there were subsequent seasons.
Prior to Kevin Costner exiting the series to work on his own Western drama ‘Horizon,’ the show’s first four and a half seasons have revolved around the Dutton family, with patriarch Costner’s John Dutton at the helm. However, Costner has agreed to return to wrap up the series. But what kind of ending will it now get?

The Yellowstone drama has been a serious part of the modern popular culture that has filtered out of the lives of the cast, crew, and director and into that of the audience. For more than a year now, Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan have nipped at each otherʼs heels trying to resolve the issue via compromise, but while misconceptions have muddied the water for the viewers, the relationship between the showʼs director and his lead remains very much the same.

Sheridanʼs inability to stick to his promised timeline and finish filming the series finale made the actor back out of the deal to fulfill his passion project, Horizon: An American Saga.

So this is what economizing looks like in Cannes.
The rosé still flowed, though not as freely, and it was easier to get a reservation at the Michelin-starred restaurants that are usually booked months in advance of the film festival. There were still rooms to be had at the Hôtel du Cap, the posh resort where studio chiefs and movie stars typically stay. Most troubling, the deals — both for completed films that premiered in Cannes and the packages that hit the Côte d’Azur searching for financing — are taking much longer to close.
Even in the shimmering south of France there’s no escaping that the movie business, having endured Covid shutdowns and two devastating labor strikes, has lost much of its luster. Donna Langley, the chairman of NBCUniversal Studio Group, was blunt during a talk, noting that the domestic box office is down 20% and the global box office has...
