A new epic American Western film, Horizon: An American Saga, directed by Kevin Costner and co-written by Jon Baird, has been generating buzz online. The star-studded cast includes Costner, Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Michael Rooker, Danny Huston, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman, and Jamie Campbell Bower, among others. The film will be released in two chapters this year.
Warner Bros. recently released a teaser for the film on X/Twitter, hinting at the grand scale and impressive cast of the upcoming cinematic event. The full trailer is set to debut soon, building anticipation for the release.
Costner, known for his success in the Western genre with films like Dances with Wolves and Open Range, returns to the director's chair after 21 years with Horizon: An American Saga. The film has been a passion project for Costner, who plans to cast over 170 speaking roles across all chapters.
Horizon: An American Saga delves into multiple generations during the expansion of the American West before and after the Civil War. The ambitious project aims to revive the epic Western genre and promises to be a unique cinematic experience.
If the first two chapters of the film perform well, Costner intends to produce two more movies, with plans to shoot all four films back-to-back. Despite production delays due to strikes, the second chapter wrapped in the summer of 2023, setting the stage for the release of the first chapter on June 28, followed by the second chapter on August 16.
Horizon: An American Saga is a bold venture that showcases Costner's dedication to storytelling and the Western genre. With its stellar cast and ambitious scope, the film is poised to make a mark in the world of cinema.
