Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon’ Film Is a Flop — and He’s ‘Taking the News Pretty Hard’


Kevin Costner invested almost $40 million into Horizon: An American Saga, but the film tanked at the box office, and the actor’s ‘taking the news pretty hard.’

The BBC’s Nicholas Barber called Kevin’s passion project a “three-hour slog … full of stultifying slow dialogue scenes,” while Entertainment Weekly’s Jordan Hoffman branded it “dull as dirt.” The New York Times’ Manohla Dargis couldn’t help but notice that “no one seems to know how to spit tobacco, and to judge from the women’s perfect updos and tidy eyebrows, everyone on this frontier has a stylist in tow.” Though New Line insisted that their decision to delay the release of the second film was to allow audiences a chance to discover the first one, Kevin, 69, is worried that the sequel and its subsequent follow-ups might never end up seeing the light of day, says a source.
