Kevin Costner, known for his role in Yellowstone, is now focusing on his new project, Horizon: An American Saga. The actor, aged 69, recently released the first full trailer for the movie on February 26. In a video shared on Instagram, Costner expressed his excitement for the project, stating that it's something he has been contemplating for a long time and made it for his audience.
The trailer for Horizon promises an epic cinematic experience, showcasing breathtaking views of the American West and a star-studded cast including Danny Huston, Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, and Costner himself. The first chapter of the movie is scheduled to premiere on June 28, with the second chapter following on August 16.
This project marks Costner's return to the director's chair after a hiatus of 20 years. He envisions Horizon as a four-part series, with the third and fourth chapters yet to be filmed. Costner's ambition for the movie dates back to the late 1980s, and production finally commenced in 2022.
Costner's dedication to Horizon is evident as he revealed that he mortgaged his home to finance the project, emphasizing his belief in the story and idea behind the movie. Despite the financial risks involved, Costner remains steadfast in his commitment to the project, acknowledging that he may not be the best businessman but has no regrets about his decision.
Horizon aims to offer a fresh perspective on Westerns by delving into the origins of a town and portraying real lives rather than simplifying the narrative. Costner's passion for the project led to his departure from Yellowstone, as he prioritized directing Horizon over continuing his role in the popular TV series.
While Yellowstone is set to conclude with its final episodes airing later this year, fans are hopeful for Costner's return to wrap up his character's storyline. Despite his exit from the show, Costner's focus remains on bringing Horizon to life and delivering a compelling cinematic experience to audiences.
