“Kevin Costner Reverses Stance After ‘Horizon’ Underperforms”
Kevin Costner Reportedly Disappointed After ‘Horizon’ Falls Short
Kevin Costner is said to be feeling down after his passion project, Horizon, failed to resonate with audiences.
Despite receiving positive reviews from critics like Nicholas Barber and Entertainment Weekly’s Jordan Hoffman, the film’s lackluster performance has reportedly taken a toll on Costner, according to Life & Style.
An insider revealed, “He had a deep belief in these movies and still does, but he’s struggling with the news.”
This reaction contrasts with Costner’s earlier comments, where he expressed that while the success of Horizon would boost his ego, its underperformance wouldn’t affect him too much. He stated, “I’ve experienced the ups and downs of movies and their opening weekends. Putting too much pressure on that can lead to disappointment.”
Costner had previously said, “I’m really pleased that Horizon looks the way I envisioned it, and that’s what matters most to me. Of course, I would love for it to be a massive success; who wouldn’t? But I’m happiest that the film aligns with my vision.”
In summary, while Costner initially downplayed the impact of the film’s performance on his personal satisfaction, the recent reports suggest that the reality of its reception has been more disheartening than he had anticipated.
