Kevin Costner will debut the first part of Horizon, An American Saga as a World Premiere, Out of Competition, at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
The series will screen on Sunday, May 19, on the Croisette with Costner and the show’s cast in attendance.
“I’d like to thank the Festival de Cannes for including my film Horizon, An American Saga in this year’s selection,” said Costner. “It’s been 20 years since I’ve had the pleasure of being on the Croisette. I’ve been waiting for the right time to return and I’m proud to say that this time has come. Horizon, An American Saga is a story that began 35 years ago, and I can’t think of a better place than Cannes to reveal to the world the result of such a wonderful adventure. The French have always supported films and believed deeply in filmmaking. Just as I believe deeply in my film.”
Written by Costner and Jon Baird (The Explorers Guild), the multi-episode project explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won — and lost — through the blood, sweat and tears of many. Spanning the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, it takes audiences on an emotional journey across a country at war with itself, experienced through the lens of families, friends, and foes all attempting to discover what it truly means to be the United States of America.
Deadline was the first to report on the project, which marks Costner’s first behind the camera since 2003’s Open Range. The project sees him reengage with the setting of Dances with Wolves, his 1990 directorial debut, which grossed over $424M worldwide and won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Director.
