Cate Blanchett was, in Sienna Miller‘s words, “floored” by Joe Weiland and Finn Constantine’s short film Marion.
After premiering in Venice, the 13-minute-long film is now screening at its second international stop for the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s made Weiland and Constantine “the happiest boys in the world.” It’s made executive producers Blanchett and Miller just as elated — they see big talent in the two Brits.
Marion follows a real-life bull-jumper, Frenchwoman Caroline Noguès-Larbère, who sacrifices a lot for her sport. She is poked and prodded at by the men around her while juggling the stress of motherhood and pondering her own femininity. Noguès-Larbère had never acted before Marion and doesn’t speak a word of English, but that didn’t stop Weiland and Constantine from seeing what she could do in front of a camera. The final product is a gut-wrenching short film that...

How blessed are we to have a whole six hours of Kevin Costner’s mythopoetic Horizon already make their way to (some) audiences, especially when this project has been on his wish list since 1988? I often try to demystify festival viewing experiences by supplying an honest, sometimes critical lens through which a reader can see the cracks in their glossy surfaces. Nevertheless, in the case of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2, I’d own every bit of privilege that brought me to its Venice premiere––in a rather small venue, on the very last afternoon, with little fanfare––not least because Costner’s multi-chapter saga is so difficult to see on the big screen. It’s not just the scale of storytelling or the fact that the Hollywood legend sponsored a huge chunk of its production himself, not the runtime and two more planned installments to (hopefully) come––it’s...

Welcome back to the wide-open vistas and scattered settlements of Kevin Costner’s Horizon. This installment picks up where the last left off, continuing the story of Western expansion through interconnected tales. Costner wears multiple hats as director, writer, and star, juggling an epic scope across hours of landscape shots and pioneers’ travels.
Chapter 2 centers on wagon trains navigating plains and hardscrabble towns like Horizon, which sprouts from the dust on promises of opportunity. We rejoin favorites like resilient widow Frances and taciturn gunslinger Hayes, dealing with dangers native to the untamed frontier—from the elements and each other. Harsh realities especially face pioneer women, as some find independence while others fall victim to man’s brutality.
Costner plainly loves the Western genre, but ambition sometimes outpaces execution. Nonlinear editing between plots disorients, and character arcs feel rushed. Still, patient viewers can immerse in rich production design and performances that add nuance to stock archetypes.

Just a few months after the first three-hour installment of Kevin Costner’s legacy project had its lackluster premiere at Cannes, his second slab of Western fudge has launched in Venice. There are more snow-topped mountains in Montana, more bars bathed in golden gaslight, more shoot-outs, more lines of wagons moving ever westward ho. Costner obviously loves classic Westerns, including his own — he allows himself a callback to Wyatt Earp — and these are all treasurable, time-honored motifs of the genre. Piling them high over hours and hours does not, however, mean that the result will be all the more classically magnificent. It just means there will be a lot of it, whatever it is.
What it is, unfortunately, is a collection of anecdotes lying side by side, never cohering — so far, anyway — into the comprehensive panorama of the turbulent making of America that Costner and his co-writer, John Baird, must have envisaged.

The latest entry in Kevin Costner’s four-part Western, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2, premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, and select outlets have weighed in on whether the film is a project of progress or a bumpy ride along a dusty trail. Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 launched to mixed reactions, with many from its Cannes debut saying the over-long film lacked punch despite being a love letter to the Western genre Costner loves so much. After Chapter 1 failed to find its audience in theaters, New Line/WB rushed the film to digital platforms, hoping to recover dollars from an unexpected upset. To Costner’s credit, he’s determined to see his Horizon project through, though the latest reactions to Chapter 2 aren’t likely to convince others to saddle up for the long haul.

Kevin Costner’s second installment of his Western franchise “Horizon: An American Saga” earned a three-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, before the director and star was crowded by fans.
The applause for Costner’s “Horizon 2” had barely passed the three-minute mark when he became encircled by enthusiastic fans — holding up their phones to get selfies or take videos — and was therefore escorted out by security. The follow-up to June’s first edition of “Horizon,” “Chapter Two” debuted at the festival’s Sala Giardino — a much smaller theater than typical premiere-host Sala Grande, which was otherwise occupied on Saturday night with Venice’s awards ceremony. “Chapter One” of “Horizon” premiered at Cannes Film Festival back in May to a seven-minute ovation.

As vast and flat as its title, “Horizon: An American Saga” can carry many descriptions. Call it hokey or homespun, old-school or out-of-touch, all would apply. But don’t you dare say wistful, because star and director and producer and co-screenwriter Kevin Costner has not leveraged a good part of his fortune for mourning.
Costner has come to celebrate those old myths, not bury them – and that lends “Chapter 2” an unintentionally elegiac quality. Tumbling down the Lido once this year’s Venice Film Festival has become a ghost-town, and with an already canceled theatrical release, “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2” stands more as a monument to unmet ambitions, to the grand swings-and-misses more often than not left out of the Great American Narrative.

After debuting his Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 in Cannes last May, Kevin Costner is on the Lido today for the world premiere of the second installment in the Manifest Destiny epic. Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2, directed by and starring Costner alongside Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Giovanni Ribisi, Isabelle Fuhrman, Luke Wilson and more, will screen out of competition at the Venice Film Festival this afternoon. Prior to that, Costner met with the press.
Costner wrote the, so far, two-part epic, with co-writer Jon Baird and also produces under his Territory Pictures banner. A third and fourth film are scripted and ready to shoot. The Oscar winner has a lot of skin in the game on this passion project. He previously told Deadline that he’s projected to pay $98 million himself for the first three films, and that financing the fourth will take it to over $100 million.

There’s an enormous amount to describe, but very little to actually say about Kevin Costner’s bedraggled “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2,” the second of a planned four installments in his sprawling, multistranded Western, that plays, after the muted reception of “Chapter 1” in Cannes, out of competition on the final day of Venice. Doubling down on the first chapter’s intermittent triumphs but also on its grievous structural issues, it is an exercise in contradictions: incident-packed yet oddly sedate; replete with characters new and returning, yet largely lacking in compelling characterization; and, running to over three hours, simply too long a film to be so jarringly abrupt.
It’s hardly a surprise that it picks up where the last left off, given the last left off with, essentially, a preview-reel of part two. Viewers bewildered by that montage’s final image — a lingering close-up of a mustachioed Giovanni Ribisi,...

Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 2 is the latest installment in writer-director-star Kevin Costner’s planned four-part film series, which opened in the U.S. this past July to many poor reviews, bemused viewer reaction and disappointing box office numbers.
This second three-hour tranche of Wild West-themed soap-operatic drama, premiering at Venice, has basically the same problems as its predecessor: too much setup and not enough payoff; jagged editing that only highlights the lack of harmony between its disparate narrative strands; and cliché-tinged production values that often make it feel corny and old-fashioned, and not in a good way. And that’s allowing for the assumption that it’s aimed at the geriatric market who loved Costner’s pseudo-revisionist Western blockbuster Dances With Wolves back in the day and his return turn to Western-adjacent form with recent TV hit Yellowstone.

Despite setbacks, acclaimed actor and director Kevin Costner remains determined to complete his epic “Horizon” western film series. Costner has faced challenges getting the four-part film saga made, but spoke passionately at the recent Venice Film Festival about why he believes in the project. The second installment, “Horizon: Chapter Two,” had its surprise premiere at the prestigious festival.
The first “Horizon” movie underperformed at the box office last year, earning only $11 million its opening weekend. This led the studio to cancel the planned theatrical release of “Chapter Two.” But Costner saw an opportunity when the Venice Film Festival artistic director offered to showcase it. “Alberto bringing this here gave me my dream and didn’t allow it to be squashed,” said a grateful Costner.
While acknowledging the financial reality behind the studio’s decision, Costner believes “Horizon” deserves more time. He pointed out that some of his past movies weren...

Kevin Costner spoke on the scrapped theatrical release of his second “Horizon” film on Saturday during its Venice Film Festival press conference, saying that “it probably was a reaction” to the underperformance of the first movie at the box office.
“It didn’t have overwhelming success,” Costner said of the first film. “I’ve had a lot of movies that way, that have stood the test of time.”
He added that it was a “studio decision” to release “Chapter Two” six weeks after “Chapter One,” and “it became a studio decision to not.” However, Costner asserted that it all worked out for the best because he got to screen “Horizon 2” at Venice.
“For me, it fell back into my plan, which was I always wanted to come out with movies about five-six months apart. And that was going to allow me to come to Venice,” he said. “I would have never come to Venice,...

Exclusive: When Cate Blanchett received an “urgent, must watch” email with short film Marion by writer-directors Joe Weiland and Finn Constantine attached, she didn’t know quite what to expect. But Blanchett gave it a go and, she told Deadline here in Venice, ended up “literally flown back in my seat.”
Marion, which world premieres at the Venice Film Festival this evening as part of the Orizzonti Short Films International Competition, is a 13-minute story set against the backdrop of La Course Landaise – the French tradition of bull-jumping. It follows the journey of the titular character, a mother who is also one of the only women practicing the sport in France.
Blanchett, who ultimately joined Sienna Miller as an executive producer on the film, told Deadline, “You don’t see something as fully realized as this, and as visceral and as enticing and powerful and memorable… To be in dialogue...

36 years after the release of Ron Shelton’s steamy baseball romance “Bull Durham,” co-stars Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon got together again at the 81st annual Venice Film Festival.
“There’s nothing like catching up with an old friend,” Costner wrote on his Instagram Thursday, sharing a picture of himself with Sarandon. “Great to see you [Susan Sarandon] we’ve come a long way since our ‘Bull Durham’ days.”
Sarandon was nominated for a Golden Globe for best musical or comedy for her role in the 1988 hit.

Yellowstone star Kevin Costner will return to the Western genre with his film series Horizon: An American Saga, the first part of which is set to arrive in theaters June 28. The first film in a planned four-arc installment premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival to an 11-minute 40-second standing ovation, which brought the actor to tears.
Costner, who stars in and directs the Western installments, has been wanting to bring this project to the screen since 1988 when he started dreaming it up. He cowrote it with Jon Baird. The Dances With Wolves star revealed that production has begun for the third film and that he has plans to make a fourth. The second part of the series will follow the first with a theatrical release this summer.

Our top streaming pick this week, “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1,” is Kevin Costner’s spiritual sequel to his seven-time Oscar winner “Dances With Wolves.” The awards chances for “Horizon” look dimmer than “Dances,” though, especially after the passion project flopped in theaters.
The film is a Western epic following the arduous journeys of settlers and outlaws as they try to reach the frontier town of Horizon. In addition to Costner, who plays a stoic horse trader named Hayes Ellison, the sprawling cast includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Abbey Lee, and Luke Wilson, among many others. The release of in-the-can second part has been postponed indefinitely, but now that “Chapter 1” can potentially gin up some interest with its streaming release on Max, maybe “Chapter 2” will get a new date soon.

Larry David is no stranger to the Emmy Awards. He has been nominated a whopping 31 times now throughout his career, winning twice for writing and producing “Seinfeld” in 1993. Now that “Curb Your Enthusiasm” has wrapped up for good, it’s the last chance for David to finally win an Emmy Award for the long-running HBO comedy series. But what are his chances?
The funnyman received a pair of farewell nominations this year, for Best Comedy Actor and Best Comedy Series. This marks David’s seventh acting bid for playing a fictionalized version of himself, and he’s lost to some truly iconic TV stars over the years: Tony Shalhoub for “Monk” (2003 and ’06), Kelsey Grammer for “Frasier” (2004), Jim Parsons for “The Big Bang Theory” (2010), Jon Cryer for “Two and a Half Men” (2012), and Bill Hader for “Barry” (2018).

Kevin Costner’s new film “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” has faced challenges since its theater release in June. The western epic, directed by and starring Costner, has earned just $34.2 million worldwide on a reported budget of $100 million. In response, the film’s studios have changed their release strategy.
“Horizon” tells the story of American families during the Civil War period from 1861 to 1865. Costner aimed to explore different perspectives on the west’s expansion and the conflict’s impact on national identity. Despite its ambitious vision and cast including Sienna Miller and Sam Worthington, the film failed to find large audiences in theaters.
As a result, New Line Cinema and Territory Pictures postponed the August theatrical debut of planned sequel “Chapter 2.” They will instead focus on releasing “Chapter 1” through video-on-demand services and streaming. A Territory Pictures statement expressed gratitude for fan interest but said more exposure is needed.

Kevin Costner’s Western epic “Horizon” is finally coming to streaming. The filmmaker’s passion project “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” will stream on Max starting on Friday, Aug. 23.
The film, which is the opening salvo of a planned four-film franchise, explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won—and lost—through the blood, sweat and tears of many. The story spans the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865.
Costner co-wrote, directed, stars in and partially financed the film, which opened in theaters in June. “Horizon 2” is already completed and was originally set to be released in August, but after the lackluster performance of the first film at the box office, the decision was made to push the release of “Horizon 2” so more people could catch up with the first film. The sequel will now open later in 2024, but is...

Kevin Costner‘s period Western Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 has a streaming date.
The first chapter in the former Yellowstone star’s film saga will release on Max on Aug. 23.
Following the film disappointing at the box office — Chapter 1, which runs three hours and one minute, opened to just $11 million over the June 28-30 weekend — Costner’s Territory Pictures and distribution partner New Line Cinema decided to pause on releasing Horizon: Chapter 2. The second installment was pulled from a planned Aug. 16 theater release in order to give audiences the opportunity to discover the first installment on PVOD and Max.
Chapter 1 debuted in the home on Premium VOD July 16 while it remained in theaters, but at that time, a Max date had not been announced. The switch-up in what was an ambitious release plan was in hopes of allowing more time to grow the audience, as the first film sports a $100 million price tag.

Despite a recent surge in popularity due to the hit Yellowstone, Kevin Costner’s posse of grown-up, Western-loving movie-goers failed to show up at cinemas this summer to support the first part of his (partially) self-financed epic “Horizon: An American Saga.” When the wheels got stuck in the mud, the Emmy-winner and two-time Oscar-winner paused the release date of “Chapter 2,” originally set for August 16, and left the future of the project (it was originally intended as four movies) in doubt.
But reinforcements are on the way. “Chapter 1” will make its way to streaming service Max next week. Friday, August 23, to be exact.

The wild, wild west will soon be available from your couch: Kevin Costner’s “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” is moseying over to Max on Friday, Aug. 23.
Stream 'Horizon' On Max $9.99/Month
The first installment of his western series, which he starred in, co-directed, co-wrote, produced and co-financed, details the life of several characters in the American West during and after the Civil War. Costner planned for the “Horizon” saga to span four movies, the first two of which were shot back to back, but after the first film’s box office disaster it’s unclear how the series will continue.
The second movie in the “Horizon” franchise was pulled from its Aug. 16 theatrical release date, after the first film earned only $11 million at the box office its opening weekend despite its approximately $100 million dollar budget. Costner stated that he spent $38 million of his own money to finance the film.

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1, the first installment of an ambitious Civil War epic from Kevin Costner, has been set to begin streaming exclusively on Max on Friday, August 23.
The film hits streaming following its Cannes premiere and June 28 theatrical debut, which was regarded as a misfire for a big-budget title, at a gross of just over $34 million. While Warner Bros initially intended to release Chapter 2 just two months later, on August 16 — in an unusual move — the sequel’s release has since been delayed for an indefinite period, the hope being to give audiences who have not yet caught up with Chapter 1 a chance to do so. Chapter 2 will screen out of competition at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday, September 7, with Chapter 1 playing there earlier in the day.

In the very first action set piece of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, a chopper gets shot out of the sky, crashing in front of a truck carrying heroes that includes Duke (Channing Tatum) and Ripcord (Marlon Wayans). The scene which follow would set the tone for the rest of movie. After that fiery explosion, there is an all-out assault on the soldiers, who do their best to repel the black-clad Cobra troopers. Alas, the heroes’ weapons are no match for the terrorists’ superior tech.
A funny thing, however, is also occurring in this scene—an element which borders on distracting. The camera focuses less on the carnage circling around the heroes and more on the recognizable IP of their vehicles and uniforms. The lens flies past the nose of the Cobra ship attacking Duke and Ripcord in order to instead highlight the high-tech missiles on its side. Each...

The world premiere for Kevin Costner’s “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two” is back on the horizon. It’s just a little further out there than it initially had been.
The second “Horizon” film will make its world premiere out of competition at the tail-end of the 81st Venice International Film Festival of La Biennale di Venezia. It will screen on the final day of the festival, Saturday, September 7, 2024.
“Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter One” will screen there on the same day; it premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
Debuting his second installment at Venice has been the “dream,” Costner said in a statement.

“Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two,” the sequel to Kevin Costner’s epic Western that stumbled at the U.S. box office, will world-premiere at the Venice Film Festival this fall after its stateside theatrical release was cancelled.
Initially set for an Aug. 16 wide release, the second installment will premiere out of competition on Sept. 7. With a budget north of $100 million, the first chapter of “Horizon: American Saga” earned only $11 million on its opening weekend earlier this year.
The first film, co-written and directed by Costner and also starring Sam Worthington, Sienna Miller and Danny Huston, earned a long standing ovation for its May premiere at Cannes. Chapter One will be shown at Venice ahead of Chapter Two.

Horizon: An American Saga is a passion project of Kevin Costner’s that has definitely shaken up his life. With talks about how his self-financing the project and lengthy shooting schedule affected his personal life and his hit show Yellowstone, Costner put a lot on the line for this series of films. The drama would not end by Chapter 1‘s release, as the lackluster performance of that first film at the box office prompted Warner Bros. to suspend the planned release of Chapter 2. This decision is a devastating blow for both Costner and fans of the first movie as the story is largely a setup for future chapters.
While it remains to be seen how and when the studio plans to release Chapter 2, according to The Hollywood Reporter, this next entry in the saga will be getting a world premiere at the Venice Film Festival out-of-competition on September 7, which is...

The next bit of Kevin Costner’s western epic saga, Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 is heading to Venice for its premiere.
The US cinema release date of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 may have been thrown into doubt following the first film’s sluggish box office performance, but it’ll still get a glitzy debut in Venice later this year.
Actor, writer, director and producer Kevin Costner’s epic western will make its debut at the city of canals’ film festival on the 7th September, with the first chapter set to screen earlier on the same day. Chapter 1 weighed in at a shade over three hours long, while the sequel isn’t much shorter at around two hours 45 minutes. If you’re heading to the Venice International Film Festival this autumn and plan on catching both movies, we’d recommend taking a pillow with you, or perhaps a tub of saddle sore ointment.

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter Two, directed by and starring the Oscar-winning actor, boasts a star-studded supporting cast of Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone and Danny Huston. It is set to get its world premiere in the out-of-competition section in Venice on Sept. 7.
Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One will also be screened on the same day after the film received a 10-minute standing ovation in Cannes in May – though critics soon piled on Costner’s Western epic. Horizon was the first film in writer-director-star Costner’s four-picture gamble that he famously leveraged one of his homes to help finance (spending $38 million out of pocket). Chapter One is three hours and is largely focused on setting the stage — introducing a sprawling ensemble of characters.

Kevin Costner’s “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two” is set to world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September after its U.S. release was pulled.
The Western epic’s second chapter was scrapped earlier this month from its planned Aug. 16 release in U.S. theaters after “Horizon’s” first installment, which carried a $100 million budget, earned only $11 million on its opening weekend.
“Chapter Two” — which Costner again directs and stars in alongside Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone and Danny Huston — will bow on the Lido out-of-competition on Sept. 7. The world premiere will be preceded earlier the same day by a screening of the first “Horizon” movie, which launched from Cannes in May to a seven-minute standing ovation.

When "Deadpool" opened to $132 million in North America over Valentine's Day weekend in 2016, everything changed for Ryan Reynolds. Up until that point of his career, he'd been an immensely appealing B-level star with A-list potential. His best shot at hitting the blockbuster big time came when he slipped on the power ring as Hal Jordan in 2011's "Green Lantern." When that not-as-bad-as-its-reputation-but-not-all-that-good-either $200 million gamble stalled out with a $220 million worldwide gross, Reynolds was back to being the wisecracking comedic engine of mostly ho-hum action movies and, on occasion, a very interesting actor in pretty good indie dramas.
That he hasn't made anything in that latter category of movies post-"Deadpool" is a bummer for those of us who think Reynolds has more to offer as a performer than a shotgun spray of smug quips in forgettable four-quadrant product like "Detective Pikachu" and "Free Guy." The "Deadpool" movies are clearly personal for Reynolds,...

Cate Blanchett has boarded Venice-bound short film “Marion” as an executive producer.
Sienna Miller is also an exec producer on the project, which was written and co-directed by Joe Weiland (“Gorka”) and Finn Constantine.
The short film, about a female bull-jumper juggling motherhood and career, is set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival this fall as part of the Orizzonti Short Films International Competition.
Over 13 minutes, “Marion” focuses on the French tradition of bull-jumping at La Course Landaise.
“As Marion prepares, being the only woman in the team, the film explores her battle against misogyny and prejudiced attitudes,” reads the synopsis. “A journey of one woman through an all-male world – juggling motherhood and the contentious pursuit of her passion. The film blends fiction and reality, creating a captivating thirteen minutes of tension.”

Stardust, from director Matthew Vaughn, is making its 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray debut this autumn – more details on the release here.
After years of producing, Matthew Vaughn made the jump to feature directing with the impressive Layer Cake, released in 2004.
Yet his next feature was a very deliberate step in the right direction, and arguably stands as the finest movie Vaughn has directed to date. It’s 2007’s delightful fantasy adventure Stardust, a movie that brings together Claire Danes, Charlie Cox, Michelle Pfeiffer, ‘and’ Mark Strong, Rupert Everett, Peter O’Toole, a young Henry Cavill, and Sienna Miller.
Based on Neil Gaiman’s story, it was a relatively expensive movie at the time, particular for a British film, with a bill approaching $80m. Its box office return of $137m globally wasn’t enough to trigger a hoped-for sequel, and Vaughn would instead go off to pursue Kick-Ass instead.

At one time, Harvey Weinstein was the most influential and powerful Hollywood producer. Through his production company Miramax, various award-winning films were made and every actor/actress wanted to be associated with him. The studio was responsible for Oscar-winning films like Pulp Fiction, The Crying Game, Good Will Hunting, and Shakespeare in Love.

The studio was already among other prestige names in Hollywood by the late 90s. The studio supported both commercial films as well as indie filmmakers who were trying to make their name in the industry.
