Teaser Trailer for Kevin Costner's Two-Part HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA Western and Dual Theatrical Release Date

Warner Bros. has announced that Kevin Costner’s first two Horizon: An American Saga western films will get a dual theatrical release. The first film will be released on June 28, 2024, with the second film set to debut a couple of months later on August 16, 2024.

This is pretty cool! It’s rare for a sequel to a film to be released in the same year. I like it, though! I like that we won’t have to wait very long two see the story continue. It was also revealed that the films will be rated R for "violence, some nudity, and sexuality."

Horizon: An American Saga chronicles “a multi-faceted, 15-year span of pre- and post-Civil War expansion and settlement of the American West. Experienced through the eyes of many, the epic journey is fraught with peril and intrigue from the constant onslaught of natural elements to the interactions with the Indigenous peoples who lived on the land and the determination and at many times ruthlessness of those who sought to settle it.”

Costner previously talked about the story, saying: “It’s a really beautiful story; it’s a hard story. It really involves a lot of women, to be honest. There are a lot of men in it, too, but the women are really strong in Horizon. It’s just them trying to get by every day in a world that was impossibly tough. They were often [dragged] out to these places because that’s where the men wanted to go; women were following their men. They didn’t ask to be in these territories that were unsettled and dangerous, and life wasn’t easy. I’ve chosen to make sure that was really obvious, that that wasn’t easy, and how vulnerable people were.”

The movie also has a great cast that includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jamie Campbell Bower, Luke Wilson, Thomas Haden Church, Jena Malone, Michael Rooker, Alejandro Edda, Will Patton,, and Tatanka Means.

Coster is planning a total of four films in this saga.
