Kevin Costner isn’t afraid of taking risks. When will the filming for parts 3 and 4 of “Horizon” start?

Kevin Costner’s “Horizon” alongside Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” stands as one of the riskiest projects of recent years. As reported by the World of Reel blog, Costner isn’t waiting to see if his investment pays off. He plans to soon commence filming for the third and fourth chapters of the saga.

“Horizon”: Filming for parts 3 and 4 of the saga coming soon

The budget for the first two parts of “Horizon” amounted to $100 million. To finance the project, which is intended to be his magnum opus, Kevin Costner has invested $24 million of his own funds and even mortgaged his $50 million oceanfront estate in Santa Barbara. The rest of the money is expected to come from anonymous investors.

The first part of the saga will be presented out of competition at the upcoming Cannes festival. Warner Bros., the film’s distributor, plans to release both parts with a six-week gap – the first chapter will debut in June, and the second in August. The director and lead actor have no intention of waiting for box office results. Already in the summer, he plans to return to southern Utah, where he will work on material for the third and fourth chapters. Filming is set to conclude in December.
