After premiering Horizon: An American Saga – Part 1, Kevin Costner confirms that he’s definitely going to be making the rest of the story.
Debuting at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday decades after he first conceived the project was Horizon: An American Saga – Part 1. Directed and co-written by Kevin Costner, with Costner also taking on the lead role, this has been a huge gamble for him, to the point where he’s had to put up a good chunk of the funding himself.
The big question then: would it be any good? Mixed reviews, granted, have come out of Cannes, but there’s a general feeling that Costner has managed to pull this off. A lengthy Cannes Film Festival standing ovation followed, and a clearly emotional Costner promised in his speech afterwards that “I’ll never forget this”.
He also affirmed that his plan is still to make four parts of the series,...

For the last two years in a row, one of the major premieres at the Cannes Film Festival has been a mainstream film that works with the trappings and tropes of the Western genre. But there’s not much connection between Martin Scorsese’s Oklahoma-set 1920s period piece “Killers of the Flower Moon,” one of the hits of last year’s festival, and Kevin Costner’s “Horizon: An American Saga,” which had its premiere at the Grand Theatre Lumiere on Sunday evening.
For Scorsese, approaching that location and time period meant thinking hard about what he could bring to a genre that he felt had peaked with directors like John Ford and Howard Hawks in the 1940s and ’50s, and essentially been ended by Sam Peckinpah’s revisionist Western “The Wild Bunch” in the late 1968s.
Costner, though, has little interest in revisionist thinking about the genre; “Horizon” is proudly,...

Kevin Costner was unable to hold back tears at Cannes on Sunday night after his Western epic “Horizon: An American Saga” was celebrated with a lengthy standing ovation.
The three-hour film is the first of a proposed four Costner has planned. The long-gestating passion project premiered at the Grand Theatre Lumiere and stars Costner (who also directed) alongside Sienna Miller, Alejandro Edda, Jena Malone, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Georgia MacPhail, Ella Hunt, Isabelle Fuhrman, Wasé Chief, Luke Wilson and the actor’s son Logan Costner.
The actor was reported as having told the audience, “There’s no place like here — I’ll never forget this. I made this [movie] … It’s not mine anymore, this is yours, and I knew that the minute it was over.”

There can be no doubt if there is one person bound and determined to keep Hollywood’s long history of Westerns alive it has been Kevin Costner. Okay, well Clint Eastwood too. And that has been true right from the beginning of his career when he played the freewheeling scene stealer Jake in Lawrence Kasdan’s Silverado in 1985, and he also made an impression as title star of 1994’s Wyatt Earp. But his real mark on the genre has been not just as an actor but also as director and producer behind the scenes, first with his Oscar-winning 1990 Best Picture Dances With Wolves and 2003’s terrific Open Range with co-star Robert Duvall. For the past few seasons he has prominently been involved in a more contemporary take in his hit TV series, Yellowstone. But without question his most ambitious and sprawling swing yet, Horizon: An American Saga, which kicked off...

Kevin Costner’s Western epic Horizon: An American Saga had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, getting an 11-minute, 40-second ovation after the credits began rolling at the Grand Theatre Lumiere.
The three-hour movie is the first chapter of a planned four-part series directed by and starring Costner, who soaked in the applause along his fellow stars including Sienna Miller, Alejandro Edda, Jena Malone, Abbey Lee, Georgia MacPhail, Ella Hunt, Isabelle Fuhrman, Wasé Chief, Luke Wilson and Costner’s son Hayes Logan Costner.
Costner waved at the crowd and seemed humbled by the applause tonight. “There’s no place like here — I’ll never forget this,” he told the audience in brief remarks. “I made this [movie] … it’s not mine anymore this is yours, and I knew that the minute it was over.”
“I feel so lucky, so blessed,” he said, adding after a pause, “There’s three more.

“Horizon: An American Saga,” Kevin Costner’s risk-it-all Western epic, rode into Cannes on Sunday, earning a seven-minute standing ovation.
Costner was visibly emotional as the film received huge applause and chants of “Kevin! Kevin! Kevin!” During his speech, Costner thanked the audience and promised “three more” installments of the “Horizon” franchise, which is already due to get a sequel in August.
“I’m sorry you had to clap that long for me to understand that I should speak,” Costner said to laughter. “Such good people. Such a good moment, not just for me, but for the actors that came with me, for people who believed in me who continued to work. It’s a funny business, and I’m so glad I found it. There’s no place like here. I’ll never forget this — either will my children.”

Kevin Costner has been in the saddle long enough to know the difference between a big-screen feature Western like Dances With Wolves, a miniseries like Hatfields & McCoys or a longform like Yellowstone. All those projects have done well by him and he’s done well by them. His connection to the quintessential Americana genre and the rugged lands it calls home is indubitable. So why is his sprawling new frontier tale, Horizon: An American Saga, such a clumsy slog? It plays like a limited series overhauled as a movie, but more like a hasty rough cut than a release ready for any format.

The summer box office is supposed to be the time of year when popular movies can flourish, but this May has not been an ideal start to the season, with another highly anticipated film falling below expectations. Read on for the weekend box office report.
With the general lack of family films in theaters — allowing movies like “Kung Fu Panda 4” and even “Godzilla x Kong” to do very well — Paramount Pictures had very high hopes for John Krasinski‘s “If,” opening it in 4,041 theaters nationwide. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Cailey Fleming (with Krasinski in a small role as the latter’s father), the movie received poor to mixed reviews with just 49% on Rotten Tomatoes, critics not having been swayed by the film’s sweet family-friendly sentimentality.

If you thought the first trailer was intense, it’s not intense compared to the second one, which suavely showed off Costner’s gun-slinging and tough-talking character. And that stand-off with Jamie Campbell Bower is sure to give your goosebumps goosebumps.
Kevin Costner – Shares New Look At His Upcoming Two-part Western Movie
The first trailer showed us the chaos that envelopes a town when settlers move in, and the second one is taking us deep into the heart of the whole process that led to the massive unrest.
While you may claim to have seen Kevin Costner in a western movie for many years – re ‘Yellowstone’ – you haven’t seen him in this one.
Let’s just say he’s a tad more brutal within this new environment.
Apart from showing us the breathtaking landscapes, we’re also introduced to more characters and we get to see and understand more of Costner’s character.

Luke Wilson "appreciated" taking almost a year to shoot 'Horizon: An American Saga'.The 52-year-old actor plays Matthew Van Weyden in Kevin Costner's two-part Western - which is set to be followed by another four movies - and he enjoyed spending a huge chunk of time making the films because it is so "rare" to work at a slower pace in modern Hollywood.He told Deadline: “It’s a long shoot. I mean, I was saying that I’d always kind of envied reading about those movies like 'Apocalypse Now', where it would last a couple of years where it really became your life. "Because the way the movie business is now, the first movie I did was 35 days, and that was considered low-budget, but now they’ve got it whittled down to 22-day shoot.

Kevin Costner‘s two-part western epic passion project is just over the horizon. The first part of Horizon: An American Saga premieres next month and Warner Bros. has just released the new official second trailer for the film. The Yellowstone actor has returned to the director’s seat for the first time in over twenty years for these films. Costner began work on this story in 1988 and he has more movies planned. The main character that he invented for this film in 1988 was so important to him that he even named his son, Hayes, after him. He hopes the movies can be a big franchise and that years from now, people can binge-watch hours of Horizon in theaters.
In addition to directing and starring in the two-film saga, Kevin Costner also produced the project and co-wrote the script alongside Jon Baird. “In the great tradition of Warner Bros. Pictures’ iconic Westerns,...

Yellowstone has been, for better or for worse, the most engaging show on television for the past few years, and Taylor Sheridanʼs intellectual property has given the audience a new format of entertainment far removed from the usual crime procedural and family sitcoms of the yesteryears.
Both contemporary and operatic in scale, Sheridanʼs series has only grown more beloved over the years with the Dutton clan parallelly spawning into an intergenerational story involving such parties such as Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and potentially Matthew McConaughey in the near future.
Yellowstone [Credit: Paramount Network]As Kevin Costnerʼs original arc slowly recedes into the background and the behind-the-scenes drama keeps unfolding, the actorʼs relationship with the director gets increasingly unstable, worrying the fans about the closure of the series. As such, emotionally invested fans of the series have been bingeing Yellowstone to awaken past nostalgia and revisit their beloved characters one last time.

The first chapter of Kevin Costner’s passion project Horizon: An American Saga is set to premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival ahead of its official release, and the actor is confident that the four-part film series will captivate audiences.

Do you think drama just stays on screen in the entertainment industry? Well, no…sometimes, it can seep into the behind-the-scenes operations of some of our favorite shows. Kevin Costner, the celebrated actor known for his roles in films like Dances with Wolves and The Bodyguard, has found himself at the forefront of some recent production troubles with his hit TV series, Yellowstone.
Yellowstone [Credit: Paramount Network]Apart from a few remarks made earlier this year, in which he delighted fans by expressing interest in returning for a potential sixth season, Costner has stayed silent about the conflict.

Kevin Costner’s two-part Western epic “Horizon: An American Saga,” which makes its world premiere in the Out of Competition section of the Cannes Film Festival, has been acquired in France by Metropolitan FilmExport, one of the country’s biggest distributors. Daniel Baur’s K5 Intl. is handling international rights.
The films star Costner, Sienna Miller, Abbey Lee and Sam Worthington. The writers are Jon Baird and Costner. Costner produced alongside Howard Kaplan and Mark Gillard. Warner Bros. is releasing the films in the U.S. on June 28 and Aug. 16.
“Horizon” takes place over the course of 15 years on America’s Western frontier, dramatizing the lives of settlers and Indigenous groups in the region. Costner shared footage from the project at CinemaCon last month.

Kevin Costner’s upcoming film Horizon: An American Saga is the embodiment of his lifelong ambition, a project he has nurtured for more than three decades. The actor’s tireless dedication to realizing his vision for this Western saga is evident, especially in his decision to step away from the popular show Yellowstone, which hindered the film’s production.

As one of the biggest TV show sensations, Yellowstone took a serious hit when its lead star Kevin Costner left. For over a year, we were led to believe that Costner stepped over his contract and put his upcoming Horizon movies over the hit series — but now, the Western star shares his side of the story… And it’s wildly different from what we’ve been getting from the other side all these months.
Costner Didn’t Drop Yellowstone for Horizon
Recently, Kevin Costner sat down with Deadline at the Cannes Film Festival and talked about Horizon and Yellowstone. For the first time in many months, the actor commented on the drama surrounding his hit series, and according to him, he didn’t deserve the backlash he’d got. Costner didn’t sacrifice Yellowstone at any point.
“I fit [Horizon] into the [Yellowstone production] gaps. They just kept moving their gaps.

We've been hearing for years about the death of DVD and Blu-ray. The physical media market is not what it once was, with hardcore collectors driving new business and impressive new 4K releases of classics and new movies aimed at a small but loyal section of consumers. Sales of DVD and Blu-ray discs were down 25% in 2023, even though home entertainment -- driven in large part by VOD -- was up 16.8% to $43 billion. Heck, even Disney is shutting down the Disney Movie Club this year while handing its physical media business to Sony. But the death of DVD has been greatly exaggerated, at least according to Oscar-winning "Dances With Wolves" director Kevin Costner.
The acclaimed actor and filmmaker is gearing up to release the first part of his ambitious, four-part Western "Horizon: An American Saga" this summer. During a recent interview with Deadline, the filmmaker was asked about risking $100 million (likely...

As he promotes his new film, Horizon, Kevin Costner has come out fighting for physical media, declaring DVD not dead.
With his new film, Horizon: An American Saga – Part 1 debuting at the Cannes Film Festival shortly, Kevin Costner has given a lengthy interview to Deadline, where he’s been talking about the road to making the movie. In it, there’s quite a lot of discussion about the moviemaking ecosystem in which he’s put the project together, and a chat over the path to the film making money.
The interviewer puts to Costner towards the end of the conversation that “the death of DVD” – news to us who still avidly collect physical media – is a problem. Kevin Costner?

Kevin Costner, 69, has broken his silence about the speculation around his rumored feud with Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan and his departure from the hit show in its fifth and final season. Sheridan publicly stated that he was “disappointed” with Costner’s exit.
Costner addressed the behind-the-scenes conflicts on the Paramount ranch drama and set the record straight in a new interview.
Costner emphasized that Yellowstone was of utmost importance to him. “If you know me well enough, I made Yellowstone the first priority, and to insinuate anything else would be wrong,” he told Deadline. “I did not initiate any of those things. They did.”
“I have taken a beating from those guys,” Costner said of the show’s producers.

The Cannes Film Festival red carpet is notoriously strict about its black-tie dress code (one man in a blue tuxedo who committed the fashion travesty of wearing white socks was almost turned away). But on Tuesday night, France welcomed a national hero to the opening night of the 77th edition — Messi, the four-legged scene-stealer from last year’s Palme d’Or winner “Anatomy of a Fall.”
The canine phenom helped brighten things up even as dark clouds gathered over the Palais des Festivals, site of Cannes’ biggest premieres. Despite the foreboding weather and light drizzle, Lily Gladstone, Greta Gerwig, Omar Sy, Jane Fonda, Juliette Binoche and other stars added some glamour and sparkle to the evening.

Kevin Costner would often like to imagine himself as a one-man army, if possible, who is capable of handling almost every single hurdle and blockade thrown in his direction with utmost precision and decisiveness. This character trait may also be the reason why the Hollywood actor makes choices bold enough to surpass even Quentin Tarantino when it comes to sequel treatment in films.

Kevin Costner’s exit from Yellowstone last year proved to be a huge shocker for everyone as the series was going great up to that point. Since 2018, the show has become one of the best TV shows, and everyone tuned in to the Paramount network to see what’s next for John Dutton and his Yellowstone ranch.

However, all intended plans were scrapped and the series is now ending with season 5 part 2. The reported reason for the mess was alleged creative differences between Costner and Sheridan, plus financial disputes. Now, Costner is coming out of the gate and telling the truth about how the studio is the main culprit behind his exit and not Sheridan.

Kevin Costner’s career arc has led him from the dredges of the ’80s to the highest peak in the present. His journey from Malibu Hot Summer (1981) to becoming the star of the biggest television show, Yellowstone, to breaking the internet with his self-financed American Western, Horizon: An American Saga, it has simply been one news-making moment after another for Costner.
However, the movie star-turned-director’s passion project would have meant nothing if not for Taylor Sheridan’s mega-successful Paramount show. Costner investing a portion of Yellowstone’s salary alongside putting his Napa Valley property up as collateral puts him at a similar mad-genius spectrum as Francis Ford Coppola when it comes to making one’s passion projects come true.

Kevin Costner Slams Yellowstone Producers ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Kevin Costner is finally breaking his silence on the Yellowstone contract dispute that led to his premature exit from the hit Paramount Western Drama. The 69-year-old’s shocking exit from the biggest show on Paramount Network dominated headlines last year after reports surfaced. Costner was walking out following a dispute over the shooting schedule with the producers. Shortly after, showrunner Taylor Sheridan announced that the series would end with Season 5, split into two parts.
Kevin Costner has remained tight-lipped about the dispute save for a few comments earlier this year where, to fans’ delight, he expressed interest in returning for a potential season 6. As he prepares to premiere the first part of his western epic Horizon: An American Saga at Cannes, Costner, in an interview with Deadline, provided a detailed account of what went down with the show’s producers, including Taylor Sheridan.

After years of starring as the iconic head of the Dutton family, i.e. John Dutton in Yellowstone, Kevin Costner has left the fan-favorite show, though it wasn’t without much drama intervening in between. However, this twisted tale is even more complex than Taylor Sheridan’s saga, considering how it has taken yet another surprising turn about whom to blame for his exit.

We’re big champions of physical media here at JoBlo, and despite ongoing claims that it will soon be going the way of the Dodo, we’ve yet to see its demise. Kevin Costner is also a big fan of physical media, and when asked by Deadline about the supposed “death of the DVD,” he was quick to jump to its defence.
“Death of the what? DVD is not dead, at all,” Kevin Costner said. “That’s what they’d have you believe. Maybe it’s not making the same amount of money, but just try to go ask for that from the studio. They won’t give that up. A lot of people that like my movies, they can’t get to a theater, and they’re waiting for that moment. You can’t make your film for the opening weekend. You have to make it for its life.

Kevin Costner says he was ready and willing to move ahead with Yellowstone in accordance with his contract on the show — but that the production wasn’t ready at the appointed time.
Save for a few comments at April’s CinemaCon, Costner has kept quiet about his apparent departure from the Paramount Network hit. As he prepares to premiere the first part of his western epic Horizon: An American Saga at Cannes, however, the actor and filmmaker is offering a much more detailed account of his side of the dispute with Yellowstone’s producers, including showrunner Taylor Sheridan.

For well over a year, Kevin Costner and the producers of “Yellowstone” have been at a stalemate about Costner returning to the top-rated drama on all of cable. Anonymous sources on the producers’ side have blamed Costner for the hold-up, accusing him of bailing on “Yellowstone” so he could make his passion project, the Western film series “Horizon.”
Now, with the Cannes premiere of “Horizon” imminent, Costner has given his side of the story about what happened with “Yellowstone” in the greatest detail he has yet shared.
In a new interview with Deadline, Costner said that mismanagement from Paramount and production company 101 Studios is to blame for the chaos around Season 5B, which has been delayed since early 2023. After Season 4, he signed on for three more seasons, but then the producers kept renegotiating contracts and changing schedules, which frustrated him Costner said. He added that he was willing to...

It’s been almost a year and a half since “Yellowstone” fans have been able to watch a new episode of Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western family drama. And in the time since, a lot of the blame for the delay has been heaped upon the show’s lead, Kevin Costner.
When the show returned for Season 5 in 2022, it was announced that the season would be split in two and labeled 5A and 5B. But despite the initial batch airing in November 2022, the second half still has yet to be filmed. Once Costner began production on his own Western opus “Horizon: An American Saga,” the prospect of him returning to finish the series became more and more tenuous and rumors began to circulate about the show’s fate. Speculation ranged from Matthew McConaughey potentially taking over as a new lead to Costner only being willing to commit to one week of...

Once Costner began production on his own Western opus “Horizon: An American Saga,” the prospect of him returning to finish the series became more and more tenuous and rumors began to circulate about the show’s fate.

It takes a veritable village of vendors to make a movie theater as appealing as possible, and if ever cinemas need to sparkle — from floors to seats to bathrooms to you name it — it’s now, as the summer box office gets underway. The one-two punch of the pandemic and Hollywood’s labor wars created a perilous slowdown in content that, which means 2024 will have a very tough time matching the $9 billion grossed last year.

Kevin Costner has turned his Santa Barbara home into a fully-fledged post-production facility. In one room, editors are cutting the first leg of Horizon: An American Saga he’ll premiere in Cannes. In another, an editor is working on Part Two. In a third, there is an assemblage of a documentary on the making of the four-film series. Down the road is the 10 acres of property that Costner put on the table to make his dream post-Civil War project a reality. Here, he discusses this adventure in serialized storytelling, following a group of characters riding west, and the drama surrounding his pending exit from Yellowstone.
Deadline: You’ve risked a lot of money here on a film you’ve ruminated on for decades. How does it feel, having one finished and headed to Cannes, and a second close to being done?
Kevin Costner: That’s kind of an interesting question.

Kevin Costner’s falling-out with Taylor Sheridan and leaving Yellowstone might prove to be one of the biggest turning points of his entire career. An iconic Western actor, Costner put everything on making his own movies instead of finishing Sheridan’s saga, and since that decision, fans have been wondering whether it was worth the price he paid himself and made everyone else pay as well.
Kevin Costner Risked It All for Horizon
Costner is one of the most — if not simply the most — well-established actors in the Western genre. In the past years, Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone was his biggest project, having him play the lead role of John Dutton, the show’s ultimate patriarch. But being the lead star in someone else’s series didn’t seem good enough for him.
