“I have a giant love for my movies and what they can be. I was interested in the story that I
wanted to tell.” says Kevin Costner, who is gearing up for his upcoming film Horizon: An
American Saga and also stars in it.
This epic chronicle will take audiences on an emotional journey across a country at war with
itself, experienced through the lens of families, friends and foes all attempting to discover what it
truly means to be the United States of America. Costner says “History for me comes alive, and I
want to tell all of it. It’s tragic. It’s embarrassing. It’s shameful. There were only 30 million people
in the United States at the time of the Civil War, most of them on the east coast when the North
fought the South. This is about what people saw during that conflict and you have an entire
nation that was shocked; many of those people found themselves out west, taking their history
with them, good and bad. I try to make things pretty close to the bone. People were trying to
carve out a life, with cultures clashing with each other.”
Did you also know, Costner would often act out various roles from the script in order to get a
true sense of if a site was right for the scene. As this is a passion project of his, he wanted to
make it as authentic as possible and ensure he stays true to the atmosphere he wants to
portray. It’ll be interesting to see how this will pan out on the big screen… I’m sure it will be
amazing no doubt and will transport you back in time.
Costner stars alongside, Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington and Giovanni Ribisi Abbey Lee, Will
Patton, Jena Malone, Michael Rooker, Danny Huston, Luke Wilson, Jeff Fahey, Isabelle
Fuhrman, Ella Hunt, David O’Hara, Owen Crow Shoe, Tatanka Means, Tim Guinee, Scott Haze,
Tom Payne, Alejandro Edda, James Russo, Jon Beavers, Jaime Campbell Bower, and Michael
Anganaro, and more.
