Kevin Costner Starrer Horizon 2 Set To Premiere At Venice Film Festival After Being Scrapped From US Release; DEETS

As a dedicated follower of Kevin Costner’s work, I must say that his passion for storytelling and dedication to his craft is truly inspiring. His announcement of “Horizon Chapter 2” premiering at the Venice Film Festival has filled me with anticipation. Having seen the first installment, I can only imagine how the sequel will delve deeper into the turbulent times of the Civil War and the settling of the American West.


The follow-up to Kevin Costner’s Horizon will make its debut at the Venice Film Festival, as it was previously dropped from U.S. release. Originally planned for a cinema release on August 16th, the decision on whether to accommodate the movie is still pending due to the underperformance of its predecessor.

Similar to the initial release, Chapter 2 of Horizon, starring the actor known from Yellowstone, is set to debut in September at the film festival. Not only will he be directing and acting, but Kevin Costner has also joined as a co-writer, collaborating with Jon Baird on the script.

To share the news about the movie’s debut at the Venice Film Festival, the actor publicly expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming premiere through a statement.

What did Kevin Costner reveal in his statements regarding Horizon Chapter 2?

Kevin Costner, known for his role in “Water World,” expressed excitement about his film “Horizon: An American Saga—Chapter Two” premiering at the Venice Film Festival. In his statement, he mentioned that the initial segment of Horizon would be screened during the morning hours, while the new movie will be presented later in the day. Costner added that it had been a long-held dream of his to unveil this film at the prestigious Venice Film Festival.

As a longtime film enthusiast who has spent countless hours analyzing and discussing movies with fellow cinephiles, I find it particularly intriguing when production companies release films as a two-part series. In my opinion, this approach demonstrates a deep understanding of storytelling and the power of cohesive narratives to captivate audiences. This strategy has been employed by some of the most successful filmmakers in history, such as Peter Jackson with The Lord of the Rings trilogy or Christopher Nolan with his Dark Knight saga.

As I stand here, I can’t help but express my deep gratitude to Alberto Barbera. His bravery and guidance have been instrumental in embarking on this captivating cinematic odyssey, a fact that is not lost on me.

What will Horizon Chapter 2 be about?

In Horizon Chapter 2, we delve into the era of the American Civil War and the colonization of the Western frontier. The storyline indicates that various families, allies, and adversaries find themselves drawn towards the allure of the Wild West, as the nation grapples with the turmoil brought about by the Civil War.

In the forthcoming movie, Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, and Danny Huston will reprise their roles as their respective characters.

The Venice Film Festival will run from Aug 28 to Sept 7, 2024.
