The teaser trailer for Horizon: An American Saga was released on October 5, 2023. Here is the clip released by Warner Bros. Pictures.

The teaser opened with a wide shot of a humongous canyon, possibly situated somewhere in the American West. The release dates of both parts are then revealed, and Kevin Costner is finally shown riding his horse through a massive open field.

He is dressed as a rugged cowboy, and he turns around and fires three rounds into oblivion. The gun he is carrying is extremely powerful and gives the hint that he is an authority figure, like a war hero or sheriff. Information about his character will be revealed over time.

Part 1 of the film will be released on June 28, 2024, and part 2 on August 16, 2024.

One of the lead actors, Isabelle Fuhrman, was recently interviewed by MovieWeb. She opened up about her wonderful experience working with Kevin Costner.

She said,

"I love him. He is wonderful, kind, sweet, generous. I really do think that he is a genius. And he has such a great eye for talent, but also good people, like our entire cast and crew. It doesn't happen all the time that you work with people that you not only love while you're working with them, but you keep in touch after because making a movie is like this big petri dish."

She ended her statement by saying,

"He's put like all of his own money behind it. And you can tell every day, he feels like he's 23 years old. He has such a happy, youthful energy about his work, and the passion exudes from every frame of the movie and how he treats everyone on set. He is a wonderful class act, and I absolutely adore him."

Some of Kevin Costner's other iconic directorial projects are The Postman, Open Range, Dances with Wolves, etc.
