Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Utah

Horizon: An American Saga is a series of four planned American epic Western films. It is directed, co-written, produced by, and starring Kevin Costner, from a script he co-wrote with Jon Baird and based on an original story co-written by Costner, Baird, and Mark Kasdan. The plot centers on fictional characters and takes place in pre– and post–Civil War America, and details the exploration of the American West. Depicting a twelve-year span, the films feature an ensemble cast portraying various characters and their experiences pioneering into new territory from their homes.

Development

Kevin Costner began developing the script for the film series in 1988, which he based on his belief that its viewers should be inspired by the true history of America in the Old West. Costner continued to develop the script from originally co-starring two lead actors to featuring an ensemble cast.

In 2003, Costner negotiated production with The Walt Disney Company. During pre-production he discovered that the studio lacked his required production budget, so he abandoned Disney. In 2014, he expanded the series into a trilogy. Development continued until Costner collaborated with Jon Baird on the script in 2012 where it developed into four films; the contents and story of which would be darker than his previous westerns.

Contrary to some reports, Costner rejected the idea that the development of the film series directly influenced his departure from the Yellowstone television series. He explained that the final season had been restructured many times and was subjected to production delays, which conflicted with the production schedule of the film series.

When addressing the various festival debuts of each instalment (Cannes Film Festival for Chapter 1, and Venice Film Festival for Chapter 2) Costner expressed interest in returning to Cannes for Chapter 3. He later explained plans for additional monetary gains through licensing the series every few years through streaming and home video, regardless of their box office performance.
