As Horizon: An American Saga filmmaker Kevin Costner recently told Deadline that he’s on schedule to shell out $98 million for the first three movies in his Western series, and a fourth film will take him over the $100 million threshold.

On Monday, the day after Horizon premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, the two-time Oscar winner expounded on gambling on his own vision with his own property at a Cannes press conference. “I’ve acquired — I don’t need four homes,” said Costner about how he used his own funds to bankroll the pics. “I’ll risk those homes to make my movies.

I want to leave them to my children, but my children will have to live their own lives.” #Cannes2024 Kevin Costner on his love for the name ‘Hayes’ since 1988, a name shared by his son and the main character of his new film ‘Horizon: An American Saga’ pic.twitter.com/dqxC3i8mhE “I don’t know why it’s so hard to get people to believe in the movie I wanted to make. … I don’t think anybody’s else’s movie is better than mine.

I made it for people.” “It’s a pattern that happens with me — with Dances With Wolves, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Open Range — the things I want to make are harder to make,” he said.
