At the age of 69, Kevin Costner recently premiered his film, “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One,” despite its disappointing performance at the box office, making only $32 million on a $100 million budget. Costner spent $38 million of his own money on the film, which was met with scathing reviews from critics.
In an interview with E! News, Costner expressed pride in the film, emphasizing its historical significance and the legacy he wants to leave for his children. The film, part of a four-part series, was initially set up for release in theaters, but after the failure of the first installment, plans were changed, and the sequel will now premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
Costner defended the film against critics who found it underwhelming, stating his commitment to creating original and meaningful content for audiences. He also addressed speculation about leaving the hit series “Yellowstone” to work on “Horizon,” clarifying that the latter was secondary and that he prioritized making room for both projects in his schedule.
Despite its shortcomings, Costner remains dedicated to his vision for “Horizon,” which he sees as a unique addition to the Western genre. He expressed a desire to create something enduring and impactful, even in the face of disappointment at the box office.
