Following the failure of the first horizon, Kevin Costner searches for money to complete his Western Saga

After the dances of wolves, Wyatt Earp or the Hatfields & McCoys and Yellowstone series, it is no longer necessary to claim that Kevin Costner has a special connection with the West! Moreover, its biggest project is still an epic saga about the American West, consisting of four chapters: the horizon.

The failure of strokes

Unfortunately, the first episode, released in July 2024, after presentation in the skin, did not meet the impending success, far from it. With a estimated budget $ 100 million, it allocated only $ 38.7 million around the world. Huge frustration for the actor and the director who received a particular mortgage loan to finance the film for $ 60 million.

After this commercial failure, the horizontal distributor, Warner, simply abolished the second chapter, which was already taken, which was supposed to come to the theaters a few months after the first. Nevertheless, he was presented at the Venice Film Festival in September 2024, where Kevin Costner said with emotion about this project, which is close to his heart: “This is a rope that I can’t let go. I don’t know yet how I’m going to three. But I’ll do it.”

Hopelessly looking for funding

Since then, the star has continued searching for money to finance chapters 3 and 4. Already in May 2024 on the Croissate, he rebelled with the announcement of a Hollywood reporter: “I need more money, it’s true. I need this great billionaire … to come with me and make a movie. I don’t have the money they have, and I have already done two. Where are you rich people?“

This bullet did nothing, Kevin Costner returned to another country, Saudi Arabia as Thr showed in a long article How Kevin Costner has lost HollywoodWho also watches his exciting departure from Yellowstone and echoes the actor and his screen son in Taylor Sheridan TV series, Vess Bentley.

Last year, the director went to Riyadh to receive a reward for all his careers at Joy Awards, but first of all, Saudi senior officials would meet in the hope that they would help continue his horizon.

And if, according to some sources, the latter was open to invest in the West, he would not defend Kevin Costner’s hope who left an empty hand. Hollywood reporter says in this respect: “The costner speaker confirmed the discussions, but lowered them and said that he had “surface” discussions with Saudi officials.“

Studio that was created for this case

But the star does not say his last word and continues to be firmly faith in his ambitious project, tirelessly looking for ways to finance it. At the beginning of the year, it was even announced that a film studio was built in Yuta to post Chapters 3 and 4, whose scripts were completed.

At the same time, it brings to a real estate developer who is responsible for the project that has just passed in front of the studio indicating: “They built the first structure that is completed by about 80%. Right now, nothing really happens. After the failure of the Costner film, everything changed and Kevin had not been available since.“

Legal actions

Keep in mind that in addition to his budgetary difficulties, Kevin Costner must face several complaints. In a few weeks, he will appear in the Los Angeles Supreme Court at a preliminary reading, which echoes the Stuntwoman, who claims to have been forced to take a rape scene without proper security protocols.

And then in March, another pre -hearing is planned, this time in the arbitral tract that concerned financial disputes between companies involved in the franchise. Under these conditions, it is hard to imagine a world where Kevin Costner can realize his dream of completing this long -term saga, but never said!
