After spending so much time on Horizon, the western saga he’s releasing in 4 parts, does Kevin Costner need to lighten up? During his visit to the presentation of the first part at the Cannes Film Festival, the director talked about turning to comedy.
A Kevin Costner comic?
“I can not Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in front of me and have clear ideas”Kevin Costner joked during the interview Collider. The artist said this with a smile as journalist Steve Weintraub wore a T-shirt featuring the two Brotherhood comedians.
While discussing a possible turn to comedy, Kevin Costner made a surprising announcement: “Listen, my kids really want me to play with Will Ferrell. That’s what they want. If I ever play with him, that would mean a lot to me.”he pointed out.
Clearly, the 69-year-old actor’s family has already pushed him to take a 180-degree turn towards comedy, which seems to be tickling his fancy. Will Kevin Costner reunite with Will Ferrell for a screwball comedy in the future? So the door is open!
“Yes, if the script is good”The actor explained, confirming that he had never explored the territory of comedy, but was not at all closed to the idea; According to Collider, he has a genuine interest in the genre.
An ambitious saga
Meanwhile, Kevin Costner has a very busy schedule! The first two parts of his Horizon saga will hit theaters on July 3 and September 11, 2024. Meanwhile, the director continues to struggle to raise funds to make the remaining two installments. At Cannes, the artist revealed that he spent $38 million out of his own pocket for these westerns.
After this project, which is close to his heart, the actor has yet to finish the series Yellowstone, the plot of which remains unresolved after the 5th season. Will he have time to do comedy with Will Ferrell in the future closing? We hope! The prospect of seeing Kevin Costner in a comedic role remains very interesting on paper.
In the meantime, we can find him in the first chapter of Horizon: An American Saga, in theaters on July 3.
