Kevin Costner's Horizon Has a Similar Length to Martin Scorsese's Oscar-Winning Western
Horizon: An American Saga, starring Kevin Costner, will be shown on screens at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. Originally envisioned in 1988, the picture is a passion project of Costner's, and since the early 2000s, the Yellowstone star has been pitching the ambitious project to multiple studios. The movie ends at three hours and one minute, which is the same amount of time as Costner's Western Dances with Wolves, which won an Oscar.
The two-part movie, which will be released back-to-back in June and August, only has a runtime for Chapter 1. Lovers of Costner's western dramas are prepared to devote three hours to his passion project, expecting nothing less than a film deserving of an Oscar.
The duration of Kevin Costner's Horizon matches that of his Oscar-winning movie.
More than 35 years after Kevin Costner commissioned the idea for it, his dream project gets shown at Cannes. Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema joined the production of Horizon: An American Saga, which was only given the go-ahead in January 2022 (via Deadline). The film's lengthy runtime of three hours and one minute has now been made public.
The striking resemblance of the extremely precise runtime to another Kevin Costner film was noticed by fans. Dances with Wolves, a 1990 Western revival film, was both directed and starred by the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves star. A number of awards were given to the movie, including the Best Picture and Best Director Oscars.
X viewers commented that Costner was a great storyteller and that the plot needed time to be fully developed. Even Dances with Wolves' 4-hour extended edit, according to one fan, was breathtaking to watch. They revealed that even if some viewers seem reluctant to spend so much time in theaters, every minute of the upcoming movie will be worthwhile.
Several admirers expressed their enthusiasm for Costner's initiative and concurred with this statement. According to one comment, three hours wouldn't be an issue if the plot included some interesting twists and compelling parts. A few others brought up the director's infatuation with tack on an extra minute.
Given that Costner's previous film, Dances with Wolves, defeated Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas at the Oscars, it is well worth seeing. Box Office Mojo reports that despite a $22 million budget, Costner's 1990 movie brought in $424.2 million at the global box office.
Horizon also anticipates that Kevin Costner's Dances With Wolves will triumph against all odds.
Some of the actor's admirers are not pleased with his latest endeavor since they feel it undermined his performance in Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone. Nevertheless, Costner has a reputation for overcoming mistrust and hostility, even with his Oscar-winning picture. Several directors turned down Dances with Wolves before he made the decision to become a director as well.
In a Deadline interview, he disclosed that he had submitted the script to three renowned directors. They all attempted to force their opinions on the screenplay and insisted that Costner alter crucial passages. But Costner was unwilling to omit anything from the script and had invested all of his money in it. He revealed to Deadline:
I am aware that throughout the time I was creating Dances with Wolves, the project was referred to as "Kevin's Gate," despite the fact that I had invested all of my money in it. Actually, I requested that it be directed by three other people before me. Each of them had really strong opinions about what they wouldn't include in the film. I was aware that my skills were inferior to those of the other directors. However, I wasn't going to exclude anything.
You can now stream Dancing with Wolves on MGM+. On May 19, 2024, Horizon will make its world premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. On June 28, 2024, Chapter 1 of the movie will be released in theaters, and on August 16, 2024, Chapter 2.
