Academy Award winner Kevin Costner spoke exclusively with Fox News Digital about the premiere of his highly anticipated film "Horizon: An American Saga." Costner shared his deep pride for the project, highlighting the immense time and effort invested in its creation.
Kevin Costner, a renowned actor, producer, and director, graced the red carpet of the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles for the premiere of his latest cinematic endeavor, "Horizon: An American Saga." The film, a passion project decades in the making, holds a special place in Costner's heart, and his words at the event reflected the profound emotions associated with its completion.
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Costner expressed his admiration for the filmmakers who have contributed to the legacy of Hollywood, particularly in the Westwood area. He stated, "This is a company town. I adore what Hollywood can be and what it has been. To be able to bring a movie and be a part of the history of everyone else who's brought movies to Westwood, to the Chinese (Theatre). This is a ceremony. It's something that we go through. We get to celebrate. I'm really proud of the film that people will see tonight. When you let it go, it's now in the river and people can watch this long after I'm alive."

Costner further elaborated on the challenges encountered during the production process. Despite its undeniable scale, "Horizon" was remarkably completed in just 52 days, a testament to the dedication and relentless work ethic of the team. "You can look at the obvious, of how long it took [to finish]," Costner remarked. "I directed ‘Dances With Wolves' in 106 days I think, and ‘Horizon’ is arguably as big as that, and we did it in 52 [days]. The only reason that happened was because of the people that were with me. We just never stopped working."
The film boasts an impressive cast, including Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Luke Wilson, Abbey Lee, Jena Malone, and Giovanni Ribisi. Costner, in addition to starring in the film, also directed it, working from a script he co-wrote with John Baird. The ensemble nature of the project fostered a sense of camaraderie among the cast, who lauded Costner's leadership qualities.

Isabelle Fuhrman, who plays a pivotal role in "Horizon," expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to work with Costner. She stated, "Kevin is such a visionary. I've looked up to him for so many years. When he asked me to be part of this, I had a full-body reaction of excitement. Western films were sort of a dream that I never thought I'd get to have a moment in."
Luke Wilson echoed Fuhrman's sentiments, commending Costner's hard work and open-mindedness. "He's just one of those guys, Kevin Costner leads by example," Wilson said. "He's a really hard-working guy, totally prepared, but he's also open to there being little moments that he hadn't thought of and trying to capture those. He's a top-notch filmmaker."

Costner's close-knit family also attended the premiere, including his five children. He spoke with pride about their involvement in the film, particularly his son Hayes, who plays a role in the first installment of the post-Civil War drama. Costner shared, "That he did it, that he was good in it, that he listened, that he was worried, that he cared… I'm just so happy that he has that now the rest of his life. I haven't pushed my children into this, and this might be his only dabble in it, but he's memorable. And for me to have him, I'll never forget it."
While Costner's portrayal of John Dutton on "Yellowstone" has been widely acclaimed, he recently announced his departure from the series. In a heartfelt message on Instagram, he expressed his love for the show and the audience but stated that he would not be returning for Season 5, Part B.
