Kevin Costner’s Sequel ‘Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two’ to Premiere at Venice Film Festival

  • Kevin Costner’s sequel, ‘Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two,’ will premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September.
  • The film’s U.S. release has been canceled, with the premiere set for September 7, 2024.
  • The Venice Film Festival will also showcase the first installment of the saga on the same day.

Kevin Costner’s highly anticipated sequel, “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two,” is set to make a major splash at the Venice Film Festival this September. The film’s world premiere, scheduled for September 7, 2024, will replace its previously planned U.S. release, which was set for August 16. This shift follows a disappointing box office performance of the first chapter, which grossed only $11 million despite a $100 million budget.

The Venice Film Festival, known for its prestigious lineup and international cinema, will feature “Chapter Two” as part of its 81st edition. The film will be shown out-of-competition, underscoring its significant presence at the festival. On the same day, the festival will also present the first chapter of the saga, which was met with a seven-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.

Kevin Costner, who stars in the sequel, also directs and produces the film through his company, Territory Pictures. The sequel continues the epic Western saga of America’s expansion and settlement, with a cast that includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, and Danny Huston. Costner, along with Jon Baird, co-wrote the screenplay, aiming to preserve the depth and historical intrigue of the original film while delivering the grand storytelling and dramatic flair that characterized its predecessor.
