what does Kevin Costner say about its first box office collection at the Venice Film Festival?
On Saturday Kelvin Costner spoke on the Horizon Chapter 2 theatrical release during the Venice Film Festival press conference.
He said “ It was probably the reaction” to its first box office unsuccessful movie.
Costner also talked about his First film Horizon “That film didn’t have much success.” “I have made many films like that, which have done well according to the time”.
Costner also said that it was “a decision from the studio” to release Horizon Chapter 2 six weeks after Horizon Chapter 1. He also said that it was great to have the opportunity to screen Horizon 2 in Venice.
Then he also said that it was according to my plan, he also told me what the plan was, that they always release the film every 5 to 6 months.
He said that this gave me the chance to come to Venice. Kelvin Costner said that “I would never have come here if this film had been released earlier, I would not have got the chance to screen this movie”.
Costner thanked to Alberto Barbera (artistic director) and said for being “the biggest reason for this happening”.
He then says that “Alberto fulfilled my dream by taking it and didn’t let it go”, adding that “he, Venice, always helps me”.
Horizon Chapter 2 was an end-minute addition to the Venice festival lineup, with news coming on July 31 that the film would premiere out of competition on the festival’s final day.
The film was scheduled to be the first US release that month on August 16, but was dropped, as the first installment in the franchise, which had a budget of $100 million, grossed just $11 million in its opening weekend. But these setbacks “increased the desire” to continue his four-part series.
Costner said “Sometimes when things don’t come easy we tend to give up and run away from them. But there’s something in me that makes me want more when something isn’t working”, “It’s a story and a form of entertainment that can adapt to the times. When I’m down and I open my eyes to it, I want more and more.”
When asked if Horizon Chapter 2 holds any lessons for America as the US is about to have a presidential election, he says that “it has no political message for anyone”. Then he said, “Horizon is not a message for my country, it just gives the people of my country an idea of how difficult this journey was”.
Horizon is divided into a four-part series, which means two more chapters are left and in the process of making. photography for the third chapter began in May and maybe in the next year, it would be wrapped.
As the press conference ended, Costner said that the Horizon film was all written and that Chapter 3 was disastrous.
Costner then said, “You get to know all these people, and life is ahead of them”.” For the third chapter, he said they has to hurry up and stop the rock from falling”, and then he said, “I have to put my hand on it and push it up”.
Although the path forward for Horizon is not yet certain, he said that Chapter 3 “I don’t know how it’s going to be, but I’m going to make it”.
