According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kevin Costner’s newest film, Horizon: An American Saga, is set to be screened during the Cannes Film Festival this year.
The Civil War-spanning film, according to the official logline, “explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won — and lost — through the blood, sweat and tears of many.” Costner, who is both directing and starring in the picture, has recruited a large cast for the historical epic, including Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Abbey Lee, Michael Rooker, Danny Huston, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jeff Fahey, Will Patton, Tatanka Means, Owen Crow Shoe, Ella Hunt, and Jamie Campbell Bower.
In a statement about the premiere, Costner said “I’d like to thank the Festival de Cannes for including my film Horizon, An American Saga in this year’s selection. It’s been 20 years since I’ve had the pleasure of being on the Croisette. I’ve been waiting for the right time to return and I’m proud to say that this time has come. Horizon, An American Saga is a story that began 35 years ago, and I can’t think of a better place than Cannes to reveal to the world the result of such a wonderful adventure. The French have always supported films and believed deeply in filmmaking. Just as I believe deeply in my film.”
Horizon: An American Saga is not the only film set to debut at the prestigious festival. Furiosa, the George Miller Mad Max: Fury Road spin-off starring Anya Taylor-Joy, is also set to make its grand debut.
Horizon: An American Saga will be screened at Cannes on May 19, 2024. It is the first of two Horizon films that will be released this summer. The first releases on June 28 while the second releases on August 16.
