Why Kevin Costner Wasn’t Worried About Yellowstone Being A TV Show

When Kevin Costner first signed on to play John Dutton in Yellowstone, many were surprised that a major film star would take a lead role in a television series. But for Costner, the format didn’t matter as much as the story. He saw Yellowstone not just as a TV show, but as a cinematic opportunity to tell a rich, layered narrative about family, power, and the American West. Costner wasn’t worried about it being a TV project because he was drawn to the script, the character, and the vision of series creator Taylor Sheridan. He believed in the storytelling and understood that television had evolved into a powerful medium that could rival film in both production quality and audience reach. For him, it was about the content — not the platform. In interviews, Costner has said that the scal...

Kevin Costner’s Best Movie Of The 2000s Was A Spiritual Predecessor To Horizon, But With One Key Difference

Before Kevin Costner poured his passion and vision into Horizon: An American Saga, he crafted a film in the 2000s that laid the thematic groundwork for what would become his most ambitious project to date. That film was Open Range (2003), a classic Western that quietly became one of his most critically praised efforts of the decade. Open Range tells the story of free-grazers who are forced to take a stand against a corrupt rancher threatening their way of life. Directed by Costner himself, the movie is steeped in the same sweeping landscapes, moral complexity, and reverence for the frontier that define Horizon. But while both films share a deep love for Western storytelling, they differ in one fundamental way: scale. Where Open Range is an intimate, character-driven drama centered on...

‘Waterworld’: The Kevin Costner movie that Steven Spielberg knew was doomed from the start

When Waterworld was released in 1995, it was instantly met with intense media scrutiny—not just because of its watery post-apocalyptic setting, but because it had already become notorious as one of the most expensive movies ever made at the time. With a budget that ballooned to an estimated $175 million, much of it spent on ocean-based filming logistics, the production quickly earned the nickname "Fishtar," a play on Ishtar, another infamous Hollywood flop. But long before the cameras rolled and headlines screamed "disaster," one of Hollywood’s most respected filmmakers had already predicted trouble. Steven Spielberg, who had himself shot Jaws on the open water and understood the challenges of filming on the ocean, reportedly warned that such a project would be a logistical nightmare. H...

Was Kevin Costner’s John Dutton Always Supposed To Die In Yellowstone?

From the very beginning of Yellowstone, creator Taylor Sheridan envisioned a tragic arc for John Dutton, the patriarch played by Kevin Costner. In early versions of the script, John was originally meant to die at the end of the first season, setting off a violent chain of events among the Dutton family and their enemies. However, Costner’s star power and the show's growing popularity shifted those plans. As the series became a cultural phenomenon, John Dutton remained central, with his fate delayed to build suspense and deepen character development. Despite ongoing off-screen tension and Costner’s eventual exit from the show, it appears Sheridan is returning to his original vision—John Dutton’s death may be the catalyst for the series’ final chapter. While the exact details are under...

Kevin Costner’s Argument with His Dog Bob Has His Fans Yelling

Kevin Costner's Hilarious Argument with His Dog Bob Has Fans in Stitches Looks like Kevin Costner isn’t just starring in dramatic showdowns on screen — he’s having them at home too, and this time, with his dog! In a now-viral video making the rounds online, Costner was caught in a mock “argument” with his lovable pooch, Bob. The actor, known for his calm cowboy demeanor in Yellowstone, tried to reason with Bob over a chewed-up boot — but Bob wasn’t having it. With dramatic head tilts, sassy barks, and some serious side-eye, the pup gave Costner a run for his money in the acting department. Fans are eating it up. Comments range from “Give Bob an Oscar!” to “I’d watch an entire series of Kevin and Bob bickering”. Even celebrities chimed in, with one writing, “This is the buddy comed...

The Clint Eastwood movie Kevin Costner was desperate to direct: “For eight years I chased it”

Kevin Costner, a longtime lover of Westerns, once revealed that there was a particular film he pursued with relentless passion — Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven. “For eight years I chased it,” Costner admitted, captivated by the raw, emotional power of the script. Written by David Webb Peoples in the late 1970s, Unforgiven told a gritty, poignant story that Costner believed he was destined to direct. But the project had already caught the eye of Eastwood, who bought the rights and waited until he felt old enough to embody the role of Will Munny. Though Costner ultimately didn’t get to direct Unforgiven, which went on to win four Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director for Eastwood, his pursuit of the project speaks volumes about his dedication to the Western genre. Years lat...

Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon’ Sparks Sprawling Legal Battle

Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon’ Triggers Legal Battle After Box Office Flop Kevin Costner’s ambitious Western epic Horizon: An American Saga has sparked a major legal battle following its poor box office showing. Costner personally invested over $50 million into the film, but Chapter 1 earned just $38.7 million worldwide. City National Bank is now pursuing arbitration against Costner’s production company and New Line Cinema, citing unpaid debts. New Line responded with a crossclaim, blaming Costner’s team for financial shortfalls. Despite the setbacks, Costner is pushing ahead with the four-part series, hoping future chapters find success through streaming. However, the project’s future hinges on resolving legal and financial issues.

Kevin Costner Reflects on Yellowstone and His Ongoing Love for Western Stories

Kevin Costner, a longtime icon of the Western genre, has opened up about his time on Yellowstone and what continues to draw him to stories of the American frontier.
