In what is his first feature project post directing his near $100M-plus western saga Horizon, Kevin Costner is set to star and co-write the tropical surf thriller Headhunters which will be the feature directorial debut of Missing DP Steven Holleran.
Costner’s Territory Pictures will produce with Scott Steindorff of Stone Village Films. Costner will play a washed-up American ex-pat with a mysterious past who winds up living in Bali, Indonesia.
