Kevin Costner heads west in his new movie Horizon: An American Saga, which chronicles the journey and struggles of a wide range of characters as they attempt to make their lives in the 19th-century Old West. One of the key elements for Costner to bring the Old West back to the big screen in his epic is finding the perfect locations to film Horizon: An American Saga.
Sweeping vistas are a trademark of classic westerns — think John Ford and his frequent use of Monument Valley in Arizona for movies like The Searchers. One look at the trailer for Horizon: An American Saga previews expansive deserts, luscious forests and more to depict a West that was still free and full of possibility. So where did they go to create that look?
