Kevin Costner's highly-anticipated western movie franchise faces a setback as the release of the sequel to "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1" is postponed. The decision to delay the film's release date from August 16 was made to allow audiences more time to discover the first installment in theaters and on streaming platforms. The multi-film franchise, a longtime passion project for Costner, is a labor of love that he has invested heavily in, both creatively and financially. Despite concerns about audience attention spans, Costner remains dedicated to delivering compelling and unique storytelling in his epic western saga set during the American Civil War. With the success of the first film and ongoing production of the third installment, Costner's commitment to bringing his vision to life remains unwavering.
