Movie Preview: Costner finally makes his “How the West Was Won” — a Two Part Western Epic, “Horizon: An American Saga”

If you’ve ever seen a Kevin Costner interview or heard an acceptance speech from him, you know his “movie that changed my life” was the big, bloated Cinerama Western “How the West was Won,” an all-star epic that took viewers from the post-War of 1812 frontier to a final showdown, “High Noon” style, at the closing of the frontier.

I’ve interviewed him a few times, and it’s never far from the conversation, especially when he’s talking about anything with horses and bad hombres.

This movie event from Warners, slated for next summer, will be released in two parts and will give the “Yellowstone” icon one last swing for the fence.

Sienna Miller, Jena Malone, Giovani Ribisi, Sam Worthington, Jeff Fahey, Dale Dickey, Luke Wilson, Danny Hiuston and Thomas Haden Church saddle up for this pre and post Civil War “saga.”

Fingers Crossed. But that…title. Ugh.
