00:00 "These people think they're tough enough, smart enough, mean enough. All this will be there someday."
00:10 The first full trailer for Kevin Costner's Horizon An American Saga is here.
00:15 The project is a wildly ambitious, for part, post-Civil War Western epic.
00:19 Costner co-wrote, directed, and stars in it.
00:22 "They're not taking the full measure of this, Mary.
00:25 I know the man I met was on his way to kill everyone in that house, so he might as well have been walking up to get the mail for all it bothered him."
00:32 During a moderated discussion about the Horizon trailer, Costner said of making the Western,
00:36 "These are real lives. People just making their way, women just trying to keep their families clean and fed. I'm drawn to that.
00:43 I'm always going to get to my gunfight, but I'm drawn to the little things that people had to endure."
00:47 The first film will be released in theaters on June 28th, followed by its second chapter just two months later.
00:52 The second two films in the four-part series haven't been shot yet.
00:55 "There's no army off this earth
00:58 that's going to stop those wagons coming, as little as they're wanted."
01:04 The project has been a 30-year journey for Costner, who even took out a loan on his Santa Barbara home to help finance it.
01:11 "You use that much this year?"
01:13 "Haven't had much need of it yet."
01:15 Much of Horizon's press has revolved around how the film has impacted Costner's work on the Paramount Network hit series Yellowstone.
01:21 The show's team complained that working on Horizon made Costner less available for the series,
01:25 while the actors' team has blamed Yellowstone's script delays.
01:28 In either case, it's very unclear if Costner will return to the show to finish patriarch John Dutton's storyline
01:33 when the show eventually returns for the second half of its fifth season.
01:36 Paramount has announced those remaining episodes will end the series.
