The actor and director, whose film β€œHorizon: An American Saga” has been in the making for decades, thinks of the Western as America’s Shakespeare.

Kevin Costner has been a leading man for more than forty years and has starred in all different genres of movies, but a constant in his filmography is the Western. One of his first big roles was in β€œSilverado,” alongside Kevin Kline and Danny Glover; he directed β€œDances with Wolves,” which won seven Oscars, including Best Director and Best Picture; and more recently, Costner starred as the rancher John Dutton in the enormously successful β€œYellowstone.” Perhaps no actor since Clint Eastwood is more associated with the genre. Throughout his career, Costner has also been working on a project called β€œHorizon: An American Saga.” Too lengthy and expensive for studios (Costner put up tens of millions of dollars to fund it), β€œHorizon” evolved over decades into a series of four films about the founding of a town in the West. Part 1, which involves the destruction wrought on Native communities by white settlement, comes out next week. Although the politics of the genre have evolved, β€œthere were certain dilemmas that [Westerns] established” which were timeless, he tells David Remnick. β€œThey talked to me about character and, just as important, lack of character.”
