“Yellowstone” star Kevin Costner gives important update on the future of his epic western series

Kevin Costnerthe legendary actor and director, known for his work on Yellowstonerecently announced some encouraging news about its epic western series horizon. Despite the challenges the project has faced, Costner remains committed to bringing the entire saga to life. In a recent interview with Today, Costner spoke about the journey of horizon and the mixed response it received upon publication of the first chapter, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1.

Although the initial box office numbers weren’t exactly stellar, Costner isn’t letting that deter him from his vision. He emphasized his passion for the project, saying, “I love the journey this thing is going through. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I love this movie… I made a promise to myself and I’m desperately trying to keep it and bring people these kinds of huge stories and I hope people fall in love with these characters.”

Costner’s determination to see the project through is evident when he talks about the next installments. He revealed that the second chapter of the saga will premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September, a development he describes as a “nice surprise.” The positive turn of events is, in Costner’s eyes, a testament to the quality of the work and the commitment of everyone involved.

Kevin Costner believes in the power of storytelling

Despite the criticism, Costner believes in the power of storytelling and that films can resonate with audiences over time, even if they don’t resonate immediately. He mentioned that some of his previous films, such as Field of Dreams And Dances with Wolvesalso took time to be fully appreciated. “Often the things you want to do don’t resonate with anyone right away,” Costner noted. “It’s only when you’re done that people start to understand what it was about and they almost take ownership and say, ‘I love this movie. I love these characters. I didn’t know where the story was going.'”

Looking ahead, Costner confirmed that he has already done some shooting for the third chapter and plans to shoot the third and fourth installments back to back next spring. He is determined to complete the story the way he envisions it and ensure the saga is told in its entirety.

For fans of Costner’s work, this update is a reassuring sign that horizon will continue to unfold and bring the epic story to life in a way that only he can. As Costner himself said, “It’s nice to be surprised in life,” and it seems horizon has many more surprises in store. Stay tuned to Collider for more.
