At the Los Angeles premiere of his latest film, “Horizon: An American Saga,” on Monday, the 69-year-old actor spoke with News about the length of time it took to create the movie and gave an explanation of why he’s so “proud” of the movement thus far.
“Well, this town is mine. This town is for companies. I love what Hollywood has been and can be. To have the opportunity to present a film and contribute to the legacy of previous film festivals at Westwood, the Chinese (Theatre). It’s a ritual, this. It’s something we experience. We may rejoice now.
I’m quite proud of the movie that audiences will see this evening. Long after I’m dead, people will still be able to see this since you let it fall into the river.”
Costner went on to say that being involved has been one of the hardest things he has ever done.
“You can look at the obvious, of how long it took [to finish],” he stated. “I believe I directed ‘Dances With Wolves’ in 106 days, and we completed ‘Horizon,’ which is possibly even more significant, in 52 [days]. The people who were with me were the only reason that occurred. We simply never took a break from our labor.”
