Luke Wilson has expressed disappointment following the underwhelming performance of Kevin Costner’s ambitious project, Horizon. The highly anticipated western epic, which Costner not only directed but also starred in, was expected to make waves in the industry. However, its lukewarm reception has left many surprised, including Wilson, who was reportedly close to the project.
Horizon was a passion project for Costner, who invested years of work and a significant amount of personal resources into its production. Luke Wilson, a fellow actor and friend, was among those who admired Costner’s dedication to the film and his vision for reviving the western genre. Wilson, known for his roles in both indie films and major blockbusters, expressed how disheartening it was to see the film underperform after such effort.
“I know how much this meant to Kevin,” Wilson shared in a recent interview. “He poured his heart and soul into Horizon. It’s tough when something with that much passion behind it doesn’t hit the mark you hoped for.”
While the film had a strong ensemble cast, sweeping visuals, and a storyline reminiscent of classic westerns, it struggled to connect with critics and audiences alike. Some speculate that the film’s lengthy runtime and pacing might have contributed to its downfall, while others believe it was simply a case of timing in an already competitive market.
Despite the disappointment, Wilson remains hopeful for Costner’s future endeavors. “Kevin’s a fighter. He’s been in this business long enough to know that not everything will land perfectly. He’ll bounce back from this, no doubt,” Wilson added, emphasizing his respect for Costner’s resilience and creativity.
While Horizon may not have met expectations, both Wilson and Costner’s fans are optimistic about what’s next for the veteran actor-director.
