I hope both parts of this movie saga are good.

 

[Kevin Antonio (Kev)]

From the start of the teaser it looked like he was shooting in monument valley. I sure can't wait to see it on the big screen. I believe this is his first film as a director since open range, and that turned out to be a classic.

 

[Winston T. Boogie]

Curious if it has been done before where they release both parts in the same season with a month in between. Very ambitious. I admit, being a huge fan of Westerns, I am very excited for this. Costner is good at this kind of thing.

Love Costners' Westerns. Open Range is hands down my favorite. Looking forward to this one...

 

[Tino]

Dances With Wolves is my favorite Costner film and was imo better than Goodfellas that year and absolutely deserved all its Oscars. Open Range is my second favorite.

Loved them both. I can't really say one was better than the other because they are such different films. Good year though.

It looks like both parts are being released this summer. June 28th and August 16th.

 

[Josh Dial]

This looks absolutely epic. Love the natural shooting locations. You can always count on Kevin Costner to showcase natural beauty.

I'm really bummed that Costner won't be returning to his role as John Dutton for the 2nd part of the final season of 'Yellowstone'. But after watching the trailer for 'Horizon: An American Saga', I will happily trade a few episodes of Yellowstone for this 4-film series!

I haven't looked forward to a movie premiere this much in 4-5 years! Horizon appears to be right up my movie-loving alley.

It looks like both parts are being released this summer. June 28th and August 16th.

Almost like an old--fashioned '30s/'40s theatrical serial --- only much longer (per "chapter"), much bigger in scope, and in full color!

I can't wait to see this, but I did not realize it was going to be 4 films. Were all 4 parts shot at the same time or, if chapters 1 and 2 fail this year, does that mean we will never see the conclusion to the story?

It seems like they're committed to make all four parts. Supposedly the third film would already be shooting if not for the Hollywood strikes last fall.

Costner is reportedly also self-financing a fair share of the cost, so it's not all on the studio.
