Academy Award-winner Kevin Costner’s latest directorial effort, his passion project “Horizon: An American Saga,” is opening soon in Philippine cinemas, simultaneously with the rest of the world on June 28.
Costner, who wrote and also stars in the film, famously spent some of his own money on the sweeping Western saga. “I have a giant love for my movies and what they can be,” says Costner. “I was interested in the story that I wanted to tell. I put on the hat of being a financier, using my own money, mortgaging my own property, taking that risk to follow my own dream. I think, in a way, that I’m somebody that just had to go west myself, and not know what was out there, and not be afraid of it. And that all the trappings of the things that were good to me were not things I was choosing to protect. I wanted to feed my imagination and expand my possibilities.”
