Chris Hemsworth recently shared with Entertainment Tonight that he made a sincere effort to secure a role in a project directed by Kevin Costner. To his surprise, Hemsworth discovered that Costner had ultimately chosen to cast himself in the character instead. Although the “Thor” actor did not disclose the specific movie, he did mention that it was an intriguing and unconventional tale centered around a man and a woman.
Kevin Costner has expressed his desire to complete the TV series ‘Yellowstone’ after facing contract disagreements. In an interview, he revealed, “I’d love to finish it.” The actor had initially anticipated the show to run for a total of seven seasons, but the recent contract issues have caused uncertainty. Despite this setback, Costner remains hopeful that he will have the opportunity to see the series through to its intended conclusion.
Chris Hemsworth shared an anecdote about a movie script he had read and loved. He expressed his desire to be a part of the project, but found out that Kevin Costner had already secured the role. Hemsworth also mentioned his admiration for Costner as a director. Despite his efforts to convince Costner otherwise, Hemsworth was unsuccessful in securing the part.
Hemsworth mentioned that he was drawn to star in the movie because the character he will be playing is a horse wrangler. He also revealed that there will be horses involved in the project.
“My wife was really interested in the script because she loves horses,” Hemsworth shared. “Back home, we have around 10 or 11 horses, so she encouraged me to take on this project.”
Kevin Costner wowed audiences at CinemaCon by unveiling captivating footage from his latest project, “Horizon.” The acclaimed actor expressed his desire for viewers to fully immerse themselves in the multi-part Western film, urging them to experience it in theaters. With its sweeping scenes and compelling narrative, “Horizon” promises to be a cinematic journey that audiences won’t want to miss.
Costner himself also discussed his decision to turn down Hemsworth in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. He expressed his admiration for Hemsworth’s talent and good looks, but made it clear that he still feels young enough to play the role himself. Costner jokingly remarked that Hemsworth will have to wait his turn and find his own love story. However, if there comes a time when Costner feels he can’t portray the character, he would be open to reaching out to Hemsworth. Costner also praised Hemsworth as one of the great leading men in Hollywood today.
According to reports, the mystery project that Kevin Costner is working on is described as “abstract” and a “small story.” It is speculated that this project may not be one of the four installments that Costner has planned for his upcoming Western epic “Horizon.” The filmmaker has already completed shooting two films in the series, with the first one scheduled to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month. Warner Bros. is set to release the first installment in theaters on June 28, followed by the second film on Aug. 16. If these initial movies perform well at the box office, Costner intends to continue the Western franchise by making two more films.
Kevin Costner’s “Horizon” features an impressive ensemble cast including Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Abbey Lee, Michael Rooker, Danny Huston, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jeff Fahey, Will Patton, Tantanka Means, Owen Crow Shoe, Ella Hunt, and Jamie Campbell Bower.
