Kevin Costner ‘Can’t Wait’ For Fans To See His New Movie, Horizon

While controversy still reigns over season 5 of Yellowstone, its lead star Kevin Costner is excited about his latest project. In an Instagram post, Costner, 68, wrote, “We’re deep into the production of #Horizonfilm.” He shared an image of his director’s chair, writing, “And, I have to tell you, I haven’t felt this way about a movie since we were making Dances With Wolves,” adding: “Can’t wait to share it with all of you.”

Kevin Costner and upcoming Western movie Horizon

As reported by Collider, Horizon will tell the story of 170 characters over a 15-year period, which will lead to multiple movies, being re-edited for TV. The movie was first announced in January 2022 and has been described as Costner’s passion project. In fact, not only will he direct the movie, but will also star in it, produce it and finance the movie through his Territory Pictures production company.

At the time, the Yellowstone lead star told Deadline that America’s expansion into the West was fraught with peril and intrigue. He said this was due to the natural elements, interactions with indigenous peoples who lived on the land and the “determination and at many times ruthlessness of those who sought to settle it,” adding:

Horizon tells the story of that journey in an honest and forthcoming way, highlighting the points of view and consequences of the characters’ life and death decisions.

Costner plans to break Horizon into “four different movies,” to be released “about every three months.”

Project comes at a difficult time in Costner’s personal life

Meanwhile, the excitement over his ambitious movie project comes at a time when Costner’s personal life is in turmoil. As recently reported, the Bodyguard star’s wife, Christine Baumgartner has filed for a divorce. Meanwhile, the couple shares three children, Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 12. While rumors did the rounds that Costner had cheated on his wife, this was slapped down, with the news that the actor is “deeply saddened” by the split.

Moreover, the cancellation of Yellowstone after five seasons has shocked fans, who are still awaiting part 2 of season 5 to air. At this date, production has still not started on the final episodes amid tension between Costner and the show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan.
