As a long-time fan of Kevin Costner‘s work, I can’t help but admire his unwavering dedication to his passion projects. The man is a living testament to the power of perseverance and the pursuit of one’s dreams, even in the face of adversity.
As a passionate gamer, I’m thrilled to share that after a 20-year hiatus from directing, I, Kevin Costner, have dived back into the film industry with my heartfelt project titled “Horizon.” This epic saga is planned to unfold across four parts, and this year saw the debut of “Horizon: An American Saga Chapter One,” which delves into the expansion of the American West during the tumultuous times of the Civil War. I’m excited to announce that we’ve wrapped up production on “Chapter Two” and it’s slated for release later this year. Now, here’s a sneak peek at what’s next: “Horizon: Chapter Three” and “Horizon: Chapter Four,” both of which I can’t wait to bring to life!
The teaser for “Horizon: An American Saga” clearly demonstrates the grand, sweeping scope of the movie, suggesting that Kevin Costner invested all his efforts into crafting a visually stunning and entertaining Western film. However, when it hits theaters in 2024, the movie received mixed reviews from critics and had an underwhelming opening weekend grossing $34.3 million against a production budget of $50 million. Despite these challenges, Costner expressed his pride in “Horizon” during an interview with TODAY and is eager for the series to carry on.
I love the journey of this thing. It’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I love this movie. I love the second one – and the third one’s even harder than the first two, and the fourth one completes the story. I made a promise to myself, I’m trying desperately to keep it, and to bring it to people, these kind of giant stories, and I hope that people fall in love with these characters.
Despite the postponement of its initial August 16th release due to poor box office performance of “Horizon: Chapter One”, the sequel is still set to debut at the 81st Venice International Film Festival. This development has come as a pleasant surprise for star Kevin Costner, who praised it as such. Alberto Barbera, the artistic director of the festival, chose “Chapter Two” for inclusion in his lineup because he believes in the visionary project of Costner as both an actor and director. It is anticipated that the film will be released globally later this year.
The initial chapter of the “Horizon Saga” may not have delivered the desired outcomes that Kevin Costner anticipated, but he remains optimistic about further installments in his Western movie franchise. He recently disclosed some exciting updates on the progress of both “Chapter Three” and “Chapter Four”.
Often, the projects I envision don’t seem to strike a chord with others at first. It’s only when I’ve wrapped up that they start to grasp its essence, even claiming it as their own, saying things like “I adore this movie. These characters are my favorites. I didn’t see the ending coming. It’s great to be surprised. The plan is, I’ve already started working on part three. Maybe I’ll shoot them consecutively next spring.
Given our latest information, it’s exciting to learn that filming for Chapter Three will begin soon, and there’s a possibility that Chapter Four might be filmed simultaneously next spring. It’s truly inspiring to see Kevin Costner persevere on his creative endeavor despite the negative impact of disappointing box office figures or critiques on his previous work.
Production on both the third and fourth installments of “Horizon,” titled “Chapter Three” and “Chapter Four,” has begun, potentially filming them back-to-back next year. As Kevin Costner continues to craft his Western saga, fans can look forward to an additional three movies immersed in the lives of his characters. Current subscribers can stream “Chapter One” right now.
