Horizon Will Be a Monumental Achievement — If Kevin Costner Can Finish It
The latest installment of Kevin Costner’s four-part western epic is darker and more intimate than the first.
The first chapter of Kevin Costner’s planned four-part western epic Horizon: An American Saga, which follows a cross-section of characters headed for the much-advertised Arizona Territory settlement of the title, premiered at last year’s Cannes Film Festival and opened in theaters later in the summer. Among the other central players in the saga, Costner’s own character Hayes Ellison is trapped in a different way, as he winds up stuck in a job as an enforcer at a small settlement, attempting to keep the peace while trying to deal with unhinged individuals on both sides of a nonexistent law. It also reveals that Costner is interested less in mounting a grand, old-fashioned western (a genre that has been good to him) and more in trying to embody America in all its contradictions, with its shattered and patchwork families, its heroes, its psychos, its drifters and charlatans and hapless leaders.
