Premiere at Cannes
Kevin Costner’s passion project ‘Horizon: An American Saga’ is all set to debut at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. The idea for this film had been brewing in the esteemed actor’s mind since 1988, with him pitching it to various studios since the onset of the 2000s. Getting the green light from Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema in January 2022, the film is finally ready for its grand premiere.
Costner’s Notable Runtime Choices
‘Horizon: An American Saga’ has announced its runtime of 3 hours & 1 minute, eerily similar to one of Costner’s most celebrated films, ‘Dances with Wolves.’ Released in 1990, ‘Dances with Wolves,’ a Western classic, bagged several prestigious accolades, including Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director. Its original runtime of 3 hours and 1 minute is just as unforgettable as the film itself, prompting fans to express their anticipation for ‘Horizon: An American Saga.’
Costner, known for his storytelling prowess, is not one to shy away from long films. Fans seem ready to invest their three-plus hours in his latest project, expecting nothing less than an Oscar-worthy film. Their excitement for Costner’s upcoming two-part film is palpable, with one fan even mentioning the four-hour extended cut of ‘Dances with Wolves,’ stating every second will be worth watching.
Kevin Costner’s Acclaimed Directing History
The award-winning actor and director made headlines when ‘Dances with Wolves’ triumphed over Martin Scorsese’s ‘Goodfellas’ at the Oscars. With a budget of only $22 million, Costner’s film raked in $424.2 million at the global box office.
However, the journey of ‘Dances with Wolves’ wasn’t devoid of skepticism and rejections. Three directors passed on the project before Costner took the reins as the director. Known for his unwavering dedication, he invested his own money and stuck to his vision for the film, not bending to altercations suggested by other directors.
While some fans have reservations about ‘Horizon: An American Saga’ overshadowing his role in Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Yellowstone,’ Costner has demonstrated time and time again his knack for turning skepticism into success.
Upcoming Screenings and Releases
Horizon: An American Saga is due to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 19, 2024. The two-part film will have its first chapter released in theaters on June 28, 2024, while the second chapter will follow on August 16, 2024.
It’s undeniable that Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon: An American Saga’ is a highly anticipated film of the year. Drawing from his past successful ventures and his penchant for crafting engaging narratives, the film promises to capture the audiences just as ‘Dances with Wolves’ did over three decades ago.
