  • I don't really care what anyone says. I'm 35, and I still find Kevin Costner to be gorgeous. My goodness! đŸ€€
  • Kevin M. Costner is one of a million perfect for every thing he does and his story telling, no one holds a candle to him. He is perfect on every thing he puts his mind on doing. â€ïžđŸŽ¶đŸŒč
  • @Av-vd3wk
    Did you know?: Kevin used to own a Pizza Restaurant called Pizza Pete’s!
  • I liked Horizon Pt1 a lot. It's sad to me that more people didn't see it or appreciate what Costner was trying to do.
  • @trooper1972
    Movie only made 11M (part 1) , and then was pulled out from theatres , he mortgaged his house (38M) .......still wants to make four parts .
  • I’ve been hearing “I have Nothing” for the last 2 days. Thank you.
  • It's a shame Horizon flopped immediately and Part 2, 3, and 4 will only be on streaming services and not in theatres. Kevin Costner had a lot of faith and enthusiasm in his movies but the times change, and today's movie audience won't go to see Costner lead his own movie. It's not the 1990's anymore. That's the brutality of Hollywood. If Horizon had starred Austin Butler or Timothee Chalamet, it would have made hundreds of millions of dollars at the Box Office. Sadly, that's the blunt honesty of show business. And for what's it worth, any of the "It-Actors" of today will all be struggling for any box office numbers when they're Kevin's age now as well, if they're even relevant in movies at all by then. Hollywood and the film industry can be downright brutal, unfortunately. And no, I don't even think it has to do with the fact that Horizon is a western. I truly believe there will always be an audience for them, even if they'll never reach the status they once had in the Golden Age Of Hollywood. For example, Young Guns was made in theblate 80's when the Western genre was all but completely dead. But since it starred actors from the "Brat Pack" who were the It-actors of that era, the audience then flocked to see it and it was a huge success. This is just one of many examples. Just my take. At the end of the day, we don't even know if movie theatres will even exist in a couple decades. My opinion is that they won't anymore. Sadly, Costner's hope that Horizon would be a box office movie theatre success was nothing more than a Pipe Dream, even though I really wanted it to be very successful as well.

    the sunrise will be reflected in the distribution for the enrichment of the film .
  • @USNAVDC
    The scenes make me want to see it....even if the story isn't that good.
  • Summer holidays are here, let's invite everybody enjoy open air cinema shows and enjoy good old music as best lessons of freedom of expression and get in action, get involved on making movies, get in business, let it happen â€đŸŽ‰â€
