jpnn.comJAKARTA – The film directed by actor Kevin Costner, Horizon: An American Saga-Chapter Two will premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September, after its US release was canceled.
As written by the Variety page, Wednesday (31/7), the second chapter of this Western epic film was canceled earlier this month from its planned release on August 16 in American cinemas.
The cancellation came after the first part of the film, which cost $100 million, only earned $11 million in its opening weekend.
“My dream is to premiere ‘Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter Two’ at the Venice Film Festival,” Costner said in a statement.
Costner said the decision to show ‘Chapter One’ early and then have the world premiere of ‘Chapter Two’ that night demonstrated not only their belief in how the two films would work, but also their support for the director’s vision.
“I am indebted to Alberto Barbera for his courage and leadership in committing to this cinematic journey,” he said.
Barbera added that this latest addition to the Venice Film Festival’s line-up pays a sincere and respectful tribute to a visionary project by a great actor and director.
“He invested himself in the epic reconstruction of the years that were crucial to the founding of this country, delving deeper into the myths in search of an authenticity capable of recovering a piece of history in its complex and contradictory reality,” Barbera said.
