DISCOVER UNVEILING THE FRONTIER: Kevin Costner's "Horizon" Series Revives the Epic Western

Certain genres never die – they merely bide their time, only to eventually gallop back into view. Movie screens are once again darkening with tawny grasslands, Prohibition-era whiskey, and prairie dogs on the run at the behest of Kevin Costner’s name. That’s because the cinematic icon is at the forefront of a bold new return to one of Hollywood’s most illustrious genres: the Western. Costner’s new series, Horizon, is a return to the American frontier not as it once was, but as it might be today. A series, yes. An epic, also yes. Two more hours? Will wonders never cease.

DISCOVERING "Horizon": A New Dawn for Westerns

The Release Dates: A Summer Spectacle Awaits

‘Horizon’ is not one movie, with a single narrative stuck in a silo, but instead a series presented in parts, each of which will be a cinematic event unto itself. The first chapter arrives on June 28 of 2024, with the saga continuing into a second part on 16 August. Costner promises more ‘chapters’ but, for now, we know that calendar dates to which we can warmly look forward to tales of drama, emotion and the West.

Plot: A Tapestry of Trials and Triumphs

Much about Horizon still remains unclear, but titillating details indicate that the tale will offer a story of human hubris and effort set during the tumultuous period of the Civil War (1861-65) and of the ‘Old West’ that flourished under the violence and hardship of that conflict – which lasted four years and killed about 10 per cent of the country’s fighting men. The ‘horizon’ explores the contradictions of America’s West – the dreams that inspired it and the sacrifices it exacted – in order to discover what the United States is, seen through the eyes of the people who lived there – for better or worse.

The Ensemble: A Constellation of Talent

The cast is or should be the stuff of genre lore: Sienna Miller and Sam Worthington, with costars Luke Wilson and, of course, Costner himself, and, as yet unannounced, others to come. If they don’t manage to screw it up, the drama will well be there, the action far from campy, the sex slightly thrilling, and the step beyond racism from fanciful and preposterous to complex. If even only some of this comes to fruition, we might be saying the word ‘horizon’ without a trace of irony.

Trailers and Teasers: Glimpses into the Saga

Guardian. Yes. Even when the full trailer of the Western series Horizon: An American Saga is horribly vague, it lets the imagination know what’s deep within Kevin Costner’s head, and it works. Finally. ‘From the creator of Yellowstone.’ The trailer for Warner Bros. Pictures’ six-episode saga dropped on 26 February. This nearly three-and-a-half-minute swoop gives the whole sense of its scope, and establishes why it will likely be a cinematic experience unlike any in history.

Runtime: An Epic Unfolding

Horizon: An American Saga totals up to roughly 11 hours across four films, each as immersive as the last – a testament to the magnitude of Costner’s ambition for the story and the experience that he wants to share with his audience.

A Passion Project Comes to Life

Costner doesn’t just want to make another enviro-tech car – this was an idea he’d been honing for years, with a lot of personal investment and pure, resolute effort, and it represents a quintessential Costner quality – that willingness to dream big.

DISCOVERING "Horizon" at Cannes 2024

We can only make you more impatient by stating that Horizon: An American Saga will be previewed at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024, that chapter 1 will compete out of the festival’s official selection – and that this really is the right place to bring Costner’s masterwork to the world.

The Road to "Horizon": Discovering the Journey

By the time Costner starts shooting Chapter 3 in May 2024, ‘Horizon’ was no longer just a dream. It was an actual, physical scope. It was not only the defining moment of Costner’s career, but a new top of the curve on the tradition of Western film.

DISCOVER

On one level, Horizon is a story of discovery – of lands, dreams, and the heart. But it is also the story of a discovery of passion and creativity. What Costner is selling – the continent of Horizon – is something much more expansive than traditional western canon-style ‘frontier’ odes, promising a series that dares ‘to cross the divide between genres – to do something magnificent’.
