‘Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2’ to Have Its World Premiere at Venice

While the theatrical release of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2 has been delayed indefinitely, Warner Bros. has announced that the latest installment in Kevin Costner‘s epic Western saga is to have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 7.

Written and directed by Costner, Chapter 2 will star Costner, Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Giovanni Ribisi, Danny Huston, Jena Malone, Luke Wilson, Ella Hunt, Will Patton, Isabelle Furhman, Thomas Haden Church, Kathleen Quinlan, Glynn Turman, Reed Birney, and Chad Lindberg. The movie will premiere out-of-competition at the festival, following a screening of the first chapter.

In a statement, Costner said, “My dream was always to show Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter Two at the Venice Film Festival. The fact that now they have decided to show Chapter One earlier in the day and then the World Premiere of Chapter Two that evening shows not only their belief in how the two films work together but their support of a director’s vision.

I’m indebted to [Venice Film Fest director] Alberto Barbera for his courage and leadership in committing to this cinematic journey. It is with gratitude and excitement that I return to the Venice Film Festival. Long live the movies and those willing to stand for them.”

The Venice Film Festival will run from August 28 to September 7, 2024.
