Part two of Kevin Coster's Horizon: An American Saga is set to make its debut at the prestigious 2024 Venice Film Festival. Titled Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter Two, the film is directed by and stars the Oscar-winning actor himself. Joining Costner in this cinematic venture are acclaimed actors Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, and Danny Huston, forming a star-studded supporting cast.

The highly anticipated film will have its world premiere in the out-of-competition section at the Venice Film Festival on September 7. This follows the screening of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter One on the same day, after the film received a 10-minute standing ovation at Cannes in May.

Horizon marks the first installment in Costner's ambitious four-picture project, for which he invested $38 million of his own funds. Chapter One, with a runtime of three hours, primarily focuses on laying the groundwork by introducing a diverse ensemble of characters.

Expressing his excitement, Costner shared, 'My dream was always to showcase Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter Two at the Venice Film Festival. The decision to screen Chapter One earlier in the day and then premiere Chapter Two in the evening underscores the festival's belief in the cohesion of the two films and their support for a director's vision.'

The films, produced by New Line Cinemas, delve into the historical backdrop of the Civil War era and the expansion and settlement of the American West. Co-written by Costner and Jon Baird, the project is brought to life through Costner's production company, Territory Pictures.
