11-hour epic becomes real: Kevin Costner’s mega-Western reveals the cinema releases of parts 1 and 2 with the first teaser (and raises an important question)

Kevin Costner has been working on his extremely complex Western project: Horizon for a year. The superstar is planning a four-part series, it is said, which will have a total running time of up to 11 hours. Costner directs the epic himself. A megalomaniacal undertaking? No, now there are finally tangible results to marvel at.

Here is the first teaser for Kevin Costner’s Horizon:

When will the Horizon parts start in Germany?

The teaser announces the following dates as US starts:

German launches are likely to follow soon. It is very likely that the dates will not differ from the US starts, because Horizon is explicitly designed as a summer event. But wait, wasn’t there actually talk of 4 parts?

Will Kevin Costner’s mega western get 2 or 4 parts?

Currently everything indicates that Horizon only consists of two parts – contrary to what was previously announced. The otherwise well-informed trade publication Variety is also on the hook.

Of course, a four-parter of this magnitude would be risky, even for a big studio like Warner. Nobody knows whether the Costner Western will be popular with audiences. The final shooting of parts 3 and 4 may not begin until parts 1 and 2 have proven to be box office magnets. Either way, the running time is long. According to previous reports, the Horizon parts are each a good 165 minutes long.

What is the Horizon saga about?

Horizon follows settlers in the ancient American West over a period of 15 years. Particular focus should be on the deprivations of the female members of the community.
