Kevin Costnerrecently revealed that he is prepared to shell out $98 million for the first three films of Horizon: An American Sagaand a fourth film will take him over the $100 million threshold.
On Monday, one day after the premiere of Horizon in the Cannes Film Festivalthe two-time Oscar winner spoke about banking on his own vision with his own property at a press conference in Cannes.
“I’ve acquired… I don’t need four houses,” Costner said of how he used his own funds to finance the photographs. “I will risk those houses to make my films. I want to leave them to my children, but my children will have to live their own lives”.
“I don’t know why it’s so hard to get people to believe in the movie I wanted to make. … I don’t think anyone’s movie is better than mine. “I did it for the people.”
“It’s a pattern that happens with me, the things I want to do are harder to do”said.
“My problem is that I don’t fall out of love with something that is good,” said the filmmaker-actor about the projects that he keeps in long development.
“I’d like to come back here with my third movie,” Costner said of a future return to Cannes with Horizon Chapter 3.
