Kevin Costner Gets Crowded by Fans, Hugs Susan Sarandon as ‘Horizon 2’ Gets 3-Minute Venice Standing Ovation


Kevin Costner's second 'Horizon' film earned a standing ovation at its Venice Film Festival premiere on Saturday.

Kevin Costner ‘s second installment of his Western franchise “Horizon: An American Saga” earned a three-minute standing ovation at Venice Film Festival on Saturday. This is likely because the festival’s awards ceremony is taking place in Sala Grande on Saturday night, but made it so Costner was rushed out of the theater shortly after credits started to roll. The film continues the events of the first chapter in the epic, which is described as a “multi-faceted depiction of the Civil War expansion and settlement of the American West.” In addition to directing and starring, Costner served as a co-writer with Jon Baird (“The Explorers Guild”) and produced through his Territory Pictures.
