Kevin Costner shared on Saturday that he’s determined to continue working on his ambitious four-part Western film series, Horizon: An American Saga.
Even though the first part didn’t do well in theaters in July, and the second part was delayed from its planned August release, he’s not giving up on the project.
I’m hoping, I’m dreaming, I’m meeting all the billionaires that we all hear about — they’re all hiding in the shadows
the Horizon director, star and co-writer said to laughter from the audience near the end of a panel discussion with a trio of collaborators on the movies: cinematographer J. Michael Muro, costume designer Lisa Lovaas and composer John Debney
Kevin Costner’s company, Territory Pictures, made Horizon, which is a big return to Western movies for him. He’s known for his famous Western films, like Open Range (2003) and Dances With Wolves (1990), which won an Oscar for Best Picture.
The first part of Horizon, which Costner co-wrote with Jon Baird, had a special premiere in May 2024 at the Cannes Film Festival. The crowd loved it so much that they clapped for over 11 minutes, making Costner cry.

The movie’s second part premiered in September at the Venice Film Festival. It was supposed to appear in theaters during the summer, but its release was delayed.
Kevin Costner, who left the popular TV show Yellowstone after four seasons, has said that work on Chapter 3 of his movie series has already started. On Saturday, he didn’t say how much progress has been made, but he promised, “I’m going to make 3.”
I’m don’t know how I’m going to do it, but I’m going to make it and then I’m going to make the fourth one. And if you want to say ’the end’ at that point, then that’s the end.
Costner said this project, which he first started thinking about in the late 1980s, feels like pushing the rock of Sisyphus up the mountain and sometimes like searching for proof of extraterrestrial life.
It’s my own private UFO. I’ve seen it, and I will never forget it, and I chase it as long as I can. … I will figure out a way to bring you 3 and 4, because you’ve gone to 1 and you’re gonna go to 2, and we’re all gonna go west together.
he said.
