- Kevin Costner’s new movie “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
- Costner left “Yellowstone” and spent $38 million of his own money to make the movie.
- Critics were not kind to the movie, saying the movie felt more like a TV series.
Kevin Costner’s upcoming western movie, “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1,” which he mortgaged a house to fund, was battered by critics after its premiere at the Cannes film festival.
Costner has invested a lot in “Horizon,” a four-part movie the actor-director has been trying to make since 1988.
Costner told GQ that he spent $38 million of his own money and mortgaged his seaside estate in Santa Barbara, California, to fund the movie.
Last year, Costner also testified in court during a child-support hearing that his sudden departure from “Yellowstone” in 2023 was influenced by “Horizon.”
Costner directs, stars in, and cowrote “Horizon,” where the first part premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday.
(The second part is also ready for release soon, while the rest are still in production.)
However, critics were not impressed, and the movie’s Rotten Tomatoes score currently stands at 20%.
Here’s what critics have said about “Horizon: An American Saga — chapter 1,” which premieres in theaters on June 28.
