Kevin Costner recently shared his ambitious plans for the Horizon movie series at CinemaCon, where he revealed his vision of releasing four Horizon films for audiences to binge in theaters. While only two films have been completed so far, Costner expressed confidence in the success of the project, mentioning that he already has two more scripts ready to go.
The Horizon series delves into the historical backdrop of the American West, focusing on the Civil War expansion and settlement of the region. The storyline spans the years 1861-1865, exploring the challenges and triumphs of that era through the lens of various characters.
Costner, who not only stars in but also co-wrote and produced the films, aims to capture the essence of the Old West and its impact on American history. The star-studded ensemble cast includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, and many more talented actors.
Warner Bros. has set a dual theatrical release for the Horizon series, with the first part scheduled for June 28 and the second part following on August 16. The studio has high expectations for the films, aiming to make Horizon the cinematic event of the summer.
Costner's return to the director's chair for Horizon marks a significant moment in his career, as he last directed a film in 2003. The project holds personal significance for Costner, who views it as a culmination of a 35-year journey in filmmaking.
The upcoming world premiere of Horizon: An American Saga at the Cannes Film Festival on May 19 has generated excitement in the industry. Costner expressed his pride in unveiling the film at Cannes, highlighting the festival's longstanding support for cinematic art.
As anticipation builds for the release of the Horizon series, Costner's dedication to portraying the complexities of American history and the allure of the Wild West shines through in his latest cinematic endeavor.
