Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 Gets Promising Update for Theatrical Release

As a seasoned film enthusiast with a soft spot for epic Western sagas and Kevin Costner’s cinematic journey, I can hardly contain my excitement about the potential theatrical release of “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2.” Having grown up watching Costner’s classic Western films like “Dances with Wolves” and “Open Range,” it’s truly heartening to see him return to this genre.


Title update for “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2” hints at a potential theatrical release, as per Deadline. Kevin Costner’s latest production is set to debut at the Venice Film Festival, a surprising move given the subdued reception of the first chapter in cinemas. Nevertheless, this provides another opportunity for Costner, as “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2” will have its moment on the big screen. The film also boasts an impressive cast including Sam Worthington, Sienna Miller, Jena Malone, and Danny Huston. However, it’s worth noting that the movie will be shown out of competition on September 7. Interestingly, “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” may also be screened earlier in the same day. The original release date for the sequel was August 16.

“Instead of premiering ‘Horizon: Chapter 2’ on August 16, Territory Pictures and New Line Cinema have chosen to delay the release. This decision aims to provide more time for audiences to explore the initial chapter of ‘Horizon’, available on PVOD, Max, and in cinemas over the next few weeks. We appreciate the cooperation of our theater partners as we expand the reach of this film during its theatrical run.”

The reception to ‘Horizon’ and anticipation for the next chapter, ‘Horizon 2,’ has been heartwarming and rewarding for us at Territory Pictures. As Kevin created this film with movie enthusiasts in mind, offering a captivating journey, it’s been truly inspiring to see the support from both cinephiles and cinema owners as they immerse themselves in the first installment of our saga. We are grateful for their backing on this exciting adventure, and we look forward to further expanding that experience with ‘Horizon 2.’

More Horizon Is Coming Anyway

When the trailer was initially released, Costner made a jest about launching these two movies in the same year. Many speculated that the popularity of his show Yellowstone would boost the success of Horizon. In response to the initial reluctance to make the first movie, he humorously stated, “When no one was keen on making the first, I came up with the bright idea to make four.”

As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the genre of Western films, I find myself yearning for a fresh perspective. Tired of the familiar trope of a fully-formed town waiting for the lone stranger to stumble upon it, I’ve grown curious about the origins of these settlements. The stars have recently expressed a similar desire, aiming to break away from the conventional narrative. In this new take, we find ourselves introduced to an enigmatic figure emerging from the horizon, his past shrouded in mystery. His arrival coincides with a struggling town that desperately needs the unique skills he seeks to leave behind. It’s refreshing to see a hero’s journey unfold without relying on tired cliches, as it offers a more authentic portrayal of the hardships faced by early settlers and frontiersmen.
