āHorizon': Kevin Costner Wants to Shoot Chapters 3 & 4 in Spring 2025
Kevin Costnerās āHorizon: An American Saga ā Chapter 1ā will be available on Max in two days. The perceived goal would be to grow an audience on streaming so that the already-shot āChapter 2ā can be released theatrically in the very near future.
In May, Costner told me at Cannes that heād shot nine daysā worth of footage for āChapter 3ā and then had to halt production due to lack of funds. The goal was to shoot the rest of the film this summer, but those plans failed. Then word came out he was looking at a fall shoot. That clearly wonāt be happening either.
Costner has now widened the goal posts and is telling NBC that the plan is to shoot Chapters 3 and 4 back-to-back next Spring. I wish him the best of luck and really hope it happens. No matter how mixed I was on the first Chapter, we deserve to see the full and completed version of this story, and Iām already hearing that the second one ā set to premiere at Venice in Septemberā is superior to Chapter 1.
The plan is, Iāve already shot a little bit of the third. And to perhaps shoot them back to back next spring [ā¦] I love the journey of this thing. Itās been the hardest thing Iāve ever done, but I love this movie. I love the second one ā and the third oneās even harder than the first two, and the fourth one completes the story.
There is currently no release date for āHorizon 2,ā which was originally supposed to come out in August but was pulled from the schedule by Warner Bros after the first instalment failed to lure audiences. Streamers like Netflix and Amazon have made offers to acquire the films, but it doesnāt sound like Costner is budging. He wants theatrical rollouts.
