Yesterday we learned that the first of two films into which it has been divided Horizon: an American Saga (WATCH THE TRAILER) will be presented out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival and that Kevin Costner will be on the Croisette to present the film on May 19th.
But during – our – night, Kevin Costner he also presented Horizon: an American Saga to American cinema exhibitors at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, during the Warner Bros. panel.
As things currently stand, only two of the four films scheduled have been completed, but the screenplays of the other two are still ready, waiting for the financing to be found to shoot them (which is not a given, as we explained to you here). This is why the two-time Oscar winner (for Best Film and Best Director for Dances with Wolves) explains:
Maybe in a year and a half, two years, if everything goes well, cinemas will offer 12-hour marathons of the four films.
Then he added:
When I think about the promise of America, there was promise in these lands, if you had the opportunity to leave. If you were tough enough, mean enough, resourceful enough, lucky enough, you could take whatever you wanted in America. However, this promise meant trampling on an entire group of people who had lived here for thousands of years. But that’s what happened in America… I don’t judge because I don’t want to judge people’s ability to make do.
The film is defined “a monumental project on the costs, in terms of war and violence, of building and expanding the United States of America”.
Chapter 1 of what has been defined by the studio as a “cinematic event” will arrive in cinemas on June 28, 2024, while Chapter 2 on August 16, 2024.
The impressive cast of Horizon includes, in addition to Costner, Jena Malone (Contact), Sienna Miller (American Sniper), Sam Worthington (Avatars), Abbey Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road), John Ribisi (Ted), Will Patton (Armageddon), Kathleen Quinlan (Apollo 13), Luke Wilson (Vacation), Isabelle Fuhrman (Orphan), Thomas Haden Church (Sideways), Jamie Campbell Bower (Stranger Things), Alejandro Edda (Narcos: Mexico), Tanka Means (Killers of the Flower Moon), Michael Rooker (Guardians of the Galaxy), She Hunt (Dickinson), Jeff Fahey (Wyatt Earp), Tom Payne (The Walking Dead).
