Kevin Costner has been hard at work on an epic, four-part Western film series called Horizon: An American Saga. The first two films in the saga come out this summer, on June 28th and August 16th respectively.

This labor of love has been years in the making, taking up so much of Costner’s time that he had to leave his starring role on the hit show Yellowstone. When I watched the first trailer, I could see why. Part 1 looks absolutely stunning, and in the second trailer we get a little bit more story to sink our teeth into.

Behold:

This is my part of the country, so I’m especially excited when I see the rugged plateaus and sweeping yellow aspen forests. Costner is filming the movies in Southern Utah, just north of where I live in Northern Arizona. I’ve passed through the area many times. The four-corners area of the country, where Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona meet is the perfect filming location for Westerns, with wide open spaces, red rock bluffs, mountain ranges, deserts, forests, canyons, rivers and lakes and radical changes from one biome to another.

This is definitely one of my most-anticipated movies of the summer (well, two of my most anticipated movies of the summer) and the most excited I’ve been about a new Western since . . . well I don’t actually recall. Deadwood maybe, and that’s a TV series.

I’m also very excited for Viggo Mortensen’s Western The Dead Don’t Hurt which he not only wrote and directed, but also composed the music—and stars, of course. It’s almost like we’re in the middle of a Western revival or something. As someone who grew up on John Wayne movies, who ranks Unforgiven among the best films ever made, count me in.
