He is the leading actor, director, co-author and producer: Now Kevin Costner’s heart project “Horizon: An American Saga” is getting closer and closer. The first two films will be released in cinemas this summer.

Hollywood star Kevin Costner (69) has released the first trailer for his long-standing passion project “Horizon: An American Saga”. The video, which is over three minutes long, provides insight into the epic Western series of four planned feature films. The first two chapters are scheduled to appear in quick succession, at the end of June and mid-August. The other feature films still have to be shot.

The first part takes place against the backdrop of the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865, when settlers move west in covered wagons. The trailer shows vast landscapes, fights between soldiers and indigenous people and family fates.

Costner is on board as a star, director, co-writer and producer on “Horizon: An American Saga.” He also stars Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Luke Wilson, Abbey Lee and Jena Malone in front of the camera. Costner most recently starred in the western drama series “Yellowstone.”

This is his fourth directing project after “Dances with Wolves” (1990), “Postman” (1997) and “Open Range – Wide Land” (2003). His hit Western “Dances with Wolves” won seven Oscars in 1991, including best picture trophies for Costner as director and producer.
