Kevin Costner is back in the director’s chair with Horizon: An American Saga, a Western so epic that it needs two films. The filmmaker loves his Westerns which he previously directed two including Open Range and Dances with Wolves. New Line Cinema recently dropped the first trailer for Horizon: An American Saga, which will hit theaters in June with the second film coming out in August.
