Kevin Costner spoke on the scrapped theatrical release of his second “Horizon” film on during its Venice Film Festival press conference.
After Horizon 1 tanked at the Box Office, I was expecting a hot piece of unwatchable garbage, but was pleasantly surprised with an old school Western epic I thoroughly enjoyed. I like Costner when he keeps it simple, and gets it right. I loved Dances with Wolves, but found Waterworld and The Postman to be cookie cutter Dances rip offs.
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like Costner as a person to hang out with, but Horizon was really good, and I hope it goes directly to streaming soon. I also hope he gets to make H3 and H4, but that seems doubtful now.
With 1 being such a steaming pile of half-assed tropes just plastered together, it’s no surprise.
