Kevin Costner reveals why he chose to create the Horizon: An American Saga movie even after years of trying to get the project off ground. A duology of Western flicks, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 and Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2, highlights Costner's directing efforts this summer. The first Horizon movie will premiere on June 28 and the second one on August 16; both movies have already been finished and will be shown in a short period. The narrative highlights land disputes throughout the growth of the American West.
Costner told Empire why Horizon ended up being more than one movie following years of studio rejection. Costner responded, "Well, there are four of them. After the journalist pointed out that "American Saga" appeared as essential to the film's title as "Horizon," That's why this is a tale. The actor-director recalled all the times he attempted but failed to get even one Horizon film accepted by a studio. Costner decided to "write four more" instead of calling off the production since "nobody wanted the movie". Costner's whole quotation is below:
The comment from Costner emphasizes the passion project the Horizon: An American Saga films have been for him. Its publication follows decades after he first imagined the over thirty-year endeavor. The response also emphasizes Costner's incredible project confidence since he believes his story has enough substance to support four feature-length films. Along with advocating the publication of Horizon: An American Saga Chapters 1 and 2, Costner began shooting Chapter 3.
The audacious action by Costner begs the issue of whether the Horizon: An American Saga films would be profitable in terms of money back-generation. One element that might support their success is the comeback of the Western genre. One most notable example is the success of Yellowstone, a project Costner also starred in. Though television has been mostly responsible for the comeback of this genre, Costner and the American West might have attracted enough fresh viewers for the Movies to flourish.
Indeed, there are four of them. That is why this is a saga.
Actually, I never did; if you want to remember back to 1988, there is a fifth one since that screenplay was sufficient to shoot. I tried in 2003; in 2009; nobody would have it. I stayed interested in it. I basically resolved to do the unthinkable. Since nobody wanted the movie, I decided I would just write four more; hence, I most certainly should be in therapy. I ought should actually just shoot myself.
