Kevin Costner will make a splash with his new western

Known primarily as an actor, Kevin Costner he also proved himself behind the camera. He demonstrated this in particular with Dancing with Wolves (1990), a cinema classic awarded 7 Oscars. An ambitious film, of impressive dimensions, which are no longer made today. But the director intends to prove us wrong by offering us a new western that is impressive on all levels. With Horizon: An American Saga, Kevin Costner will in fact return to the post-Civil War era, in full expansion of the West. Except that it won’t be a single film, but a work in two parts that promises to be monumental.

The project seems crazy, yet Warner Bros. agreed to follow Kevin Costner in his business. The result could be worth it, if we want to believe it the first trailer revealed by the study. Superb images with magnificent landscapes, but not only. We feel the director’s desire to propose a work in the tradition of the great Hollywood westerns, with obvious influences. Obviously we are forced to reflect on it The prisoner of the desert (1956) by John Ford in front of the second shot of the promotional video.

But for Kevin Costner it’s not simply about paying homage to these films. The director has this desire to tell a great epic that lasted 15 years, involving many characters. Thus in these images we discover different protagonists whose paths should cross. It is difficult at this time to fully understand the involvement and problems of each person, but some profiles can still be discerned.

Among other things, we can see Siena Miller, attacked with her family by the Indians. Her son should die there. Which gives you an idea of ​​the tragic tone of Horizon: An American Saga. Kevin Costner also plays an important role in this adventure. He plays a man who knows how to handle the colt and who will take a liking to Abbey Lee. Finally, we get to see an entire group led by Luke Wilson, determined to travel to the West to find a new place to settle (recalling the plot of The Western Road). Without forgetting the presence of Native Americans, with Kevin Costner’s evident desire to adequately highlight these people – this was already the case with Dances with Wolves.

In addition to the previously mentioned names, the casting ofHorizon: An American Saga also features Sam Worthington, Luke Wilson, Thomas Haden Church, Jena Malone, Michael Rooker, Isabelle Fuhrman and Ella Hunt. So this is all pretty impressive. And Warner Bros.’ choice to exit both parties during the same summer it is even more so. In the USA, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 will go out June 28. Then Part 2 will be released on August 16th. Proof of the studio’s confidence in this memorable project.
