Kevin Costner’s Horizon Flop Leaves Luke Wilson Seriously Rattled: Optimism Turns to Concern
Kevin Costner’s gamble with Horizon: An American Saga is causing more than just box office trouble—it’s got Luke Wilson genuinely worried. Insiders say the Legally Blonde star, who initially backed Costner’s epic, is struggling to cope with the film’s disappointing reception.
Wilson was optimistic, believing it would be the surprise hit of the summer. Fast forward a few months, and that enthusiasm has turned into concern after Horizon was panned by critics at Cannes. According to sources, he’s been deeply unsettled by the negative reviews, stating:
“He’s really shaken by how poorly the film performed, especially with critics. It just doesn’t add up to him, and he’s freaked out about it.”
Wilson had described Horizon as a unique project, but after the critical backlash, he reportedly looked completely taken aback. It seems he’s not alone in his distress; the source noted:
“You have to wonder if the rest of the cast isn’t feeling the same way. Luke has definitely been rattled by the harsh criticism aimed at the film.”
Costner, a Hollywood veteran with an impressive collection of awards, has faced setbacks before. Despite the tough reviews, he remains optimistic. “He’s a man of faith and hope,” says the insider, pointing out that many of Costner’s biggest successes, like The Bodyguard, were initially underestimated. Still, one can’t help but wonder how this flop will affect his future projects.
Kevin Costner Speaks Honestly About Horizon’s Rough Start
At the Venice Film Festival on September 7, Kevin Costner addressed Horizon: An American Saga head-on. He didn’t sugarcoat the situation, admitting that Chapter 1 didn’t achieve overwhelming success. Yet, he remains unfazed, stating:
“I’ve had a lot of movies like that that have stood the test of time.”
Originally, the plan was to release Chapter 2 in August, but following the first film’s poor performance, the studio decided to hit pause. This delay turned out to be fortuitous for Costner, allowing him to showcase the film at Venice—a dream come true for him. He praised Venice’s artistic director, Alberto Barbera, for the opportunity, adding with a smile, “F—, Venice keeps coming to my rescue!” While Chapter 2 doesn’t have a release date yet, Costner is clearly committed to playing the long game.
