“Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1 Falters, Straining His Relationship with a Renowned Actor”
Kevin Costner’s ambitious Horizon: An American Saga was poised to be a sweeping epic, but instead, it left Luke Wilson visibly shaken. Costner’s grand project didn’t just miss the mark; it plummeted into disaster territory. Now, it seems one of his Hollywood peers is seriously questioning his future endeavors. It’s rare for a film’s failure to cause such a stir, but Horizon might just be an exception. The fallout from this flop is far from over!
Kevin Costner’s Horizon Flop Leaves Luke Wilson Seriously Rattled: Optimism Turns to Panic
Kevin Costner’s bold gamble with Horizon: An American Saga is causing ripples far beyond the box office—Luke Wilson is reportedly deeply unsettled. The Legally Blonde star, who was initially enthusiastic about Costner’s epic Western, is struggling to cope with the movie’s disastrous reception. Sources reveal that Wilson had high hopes for the film, expecting it to be a summer sensation. However, after Horizon bombed with critics at Cannes, Wilson’s optimism has turned into outright panic.
Wilson, who had hailed Horizon as a unique project, appeared shaken by the negative reviews. As one insider put it, “He’s been seriously spooked by how poorly the movie performed, especially with the critics. It just doesn’t make sense to him, and he’s deeply unsettled by it.” The source further speculated, “You have to wonder if other cast members are feeling the same way as Luke. The backlash has left him rattled.”
Despite the criticism, Kevin Costner remains resilient. With a track record of overcoming setbacks, including some of his past hits like The Bodyguard that were initially underestimated, Costner is staying hopeful. “He’s a man of faith and hope,” says the source, acknowledging Costner’s ability to bounce back from disappointment. Yet, with Horizon struggling to make an impact, questions linger about how this will affect his future projects.
Kevin Costner Addresses Horizon’s Rough Start
Kevin Costner is candid about Horizon: An American Saga‘s rocky debut. At the Venice Film Festival on September 7, he admitted that Chapter 1 did not achieve overwhelming success. However, Costner remains unfazed, noting that he has faced similar challenges before. “I’ve had a lot of movies that didn’t do well initially but have stood the test of time,” Costner remarked, staying optimistic (via Variety).
Originally set to release Chapter 2 in August, the studio decided to pause following the first film’s underwhelming performance. This delay turned out to be fortuitous for Costner, as it allowed him to present the film at Venice—a dream opportunity for him. He expressed gratitude to Venice’s artistic director Alberto Barbera for the chance, adding with a smile, “Venice keeps coming to my rescue!” Although Chapter 2’s release date remains unconfirmed, Costner is playing the long game, undeterred by the setbacks.
