Kevin Costner's 'Horizon: An American Saga' to Premiere at Venice Film Festival

Kevin Costner's 'Horizon: An American Saga' will premiere on September 7 at the Venice Film Festival. The multi-part film covers the 15 years around the Civil War and portrays the westward movement of settlers. The 2024 edition of the festival will see many celebrities after the 2023 Hollywood actors' strike.

Kevin Costner's much-anticipated film 'Horizon: An American Saga' will have its world premiere on September 7, marking the closing day of the Venice Film Festival.

The multi-part western saga, which covers a 15-year span around the Civil War period, will be showcased in the out-of-competition section. Notably, the screening will include the first part of the series, 'Chapter One,' which premiered in Cannes earlier this year.

Oscar-winner Costner, taking on roles as the star, director, and producer, has already completed the first two parts and plans to produce two more. However, he has voiced financial uncertainties regarding the project's future, which he discussed at Cannes. The Venice Film Festival, running from August 28 to September 7, is poised for a significant turnout, rebounding from lower attendance last year due to the Hollywood actors' strike in 2023.
