Kevin Costner recently shared his excitement about his son Hayes making his acting debut in the upcoming project, Horizon: An American Saga. The 15-year-old will be starring in the film, marking his entry into the world of acting. Costner expressed his pride in Hayes' achievement through a heartfelt Instagram post, thanking fans for their support towards the trailer release.
Horizon is a significant project for Costner, as it marks his return to directing since 2003's Open Range and his departure from the popular series Yellowstone. The trailer for Horizon was unveiled on February 26, showcasing stunning visuals of the American West and featuring a talented ensemble cast.
The film is set to be released in multiple chapters, with the first installment scheduled for a theatrical premiere on June 28. Costner has expressed his vision for Horizon to be a four-part epic, with plans for future chapters in the works.
During a panel discussion, Costner revealed his long-standing ambition to bring Horizon to life, despite facing challenges in getting the project off the ground. He emphasized his desire to create a unique Western narrative that delves into the origins of a town, aiming to portray authentic lives rather than simplistic storytelling.
Costner shares Hayes with his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner, with whom he also has two other children. The couple reportedly finalized their divorce in September 2023 after a period of legal proceedings. Costner is also a father to five other children from previous relationships.
