Kevin Costner is continuing his pursuit of the ambitious project Horizon: An American Saga, a film he considers his crowning achievement. This undertaking has required significant financial investment from Costner himself, making it a personal and financial risk.

Unfortunately, the first chapter of Horizon: An American Saga did not meet expectations at the box office, failing to recoup its $100 million production cost. As a result, plans for the sequel, Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2, have been put on hold indefinitely, even though the film is already completed.

Despite this setback, Costner remains resolute. In a recent interview with Deadline, he reiterated his determination to see the project through, regardless of the obstacles. Though he is uncertain of the next steps, his commitment remains strong. Costner shared that creating the second chapter has proven more difficult than the first, particularly in the context of exploring the West. He also acknowledged the unique challenges posed by the third chapter, which he described as emotionally intense, as the characters face the stark realities of their lives.

He emphasized the importance of pushing the story forward, comparing his efforts to moving a rock uphill—an illustration of his dedication to completing the saga. While he admits he's unsure how to proceed with the third chapter, his passion for the project is undeniable.

A major question remains: where will Costner find the financing for the third chapter, especially given the lack of interested investors? While it's doubtful that he would risk his financial stability for the project, his passion for the story is clear.

As fans, all we can do is wish Costner success and hope that the second chapter, whenever it is released, will attract a wider audience. What are your thoughts on Horizon: An American Saga?
