Kevin Costner Says Scrapped ‘Horizon 2’ Theatrical Release Was ‘Probably a Reaction’ to First Film’s Box Office Performance: ‘It Didn’t Have Overwhelming Success’


Kevin Costner spoke on the scrapped theatrical release of his second "Horizon" film on during its Venice Film Festival press conference.

Costner again directs and stars in “Chapter Two,” with a returning cast consisting of Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone and Danny Huston. 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. “My dream was always to show ‘Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two’ at the Venice Film Festival,” Costner said in a statement when the movie’s premiere was announced.
