He is trying to make a western next.


He said so in the imdb chat for Black or White. But he also said it will
be hard to get the money to make it. Many people don't know that the
great Open Range almost never happened because someone pulled their money just before filming.

I hope Costner gets the funding for this movie (or mini series). When it comes to the western genre he's an ace.

Hopefully he can tell us more when he is promoting his new film.

I saw Open Range again over the weekend. It is so great it's not even funny. So will someone please give Mr. Costner the money he needs to make more westerns.

reply

I really hope we get som news this summer.

If I had the money, I'd produce every single project Kevin desires to make because they're original and always try to swing for the fences.

Exactly, who would not, idiots i assume. The guy is a master at westerns and I do not need to sell that at all. You bring up a good question and has me thinking. If you were a billionaire, why would you not fund a western directed by Costner? I cannot even dare to say it would lose money and you could write it off if it did lose money. Another plus, westerns can be made pretty cheap these days with the right people and I just cannot imagine it failing after he did such great work on Open Range.

Studios are so chicken. They are afraid to take risks and only try and cater to audiences.

I mean, KC is a master director and he's proved it yet they're afraid of original, western.themes projects directed by him ?

They don't finance his films yet they give money to hacks like Bay and Rattner to go and do their crap ?!?!

Again, if I were a billionaire, I'd give him all the money he needs to make the films he wants.

Kevin Costner is the man.
