    Kevin Costner’s ‘Horizon’ Settles Lawsuit Over Unpaid Costume Fees Amid Financial, Legal Woes

    Kevin Costner‘s production vehicle for Horizon has settled a lawsuit accusing it of failing to pay for costume rentals.

    United Costume Corporation on Thursday informed the court of a deal to resolve the case. Terms of the agreement weren’t disclosed.

    Amid mounting financial and legal woes, Horizon Series, Costner’s loan-out firm, was sued in May for breach of contract for roughly $350,000 over unpaid fees across Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 and its sequel. The lawsuit bolstered the appearance of budget shortfalls for the sprawling productions. Before that, New Line Cinema filed an arbitration claim against the company for alleged breaches to a co-financing agreement, followed by a stunt performer suing for sexual discrimination, harassment and retaliation over an unscripted rape scene.

    United Costume’s lawsuit pointed to an invoice in 2022 for roughly $58,000 in costume rentals for Chapter 1. A year later, the production struck another deal, this time for an estimated $285,000, with the company to provide costumes for the sequel, according to the complaint.

    Costner designed Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1, which he directed, co-wrote, starred in and partly financed, as the first of four installments. An unusual rollout plan to release the sequel just seven weeks after the first was scrapped after the movie, made for roughly $100 million, grossed $38 million worldwide. Chapter 2 is being held to allow the audience for the franchise to grow.

    As of last year, Chapter 3 wasn’t fully financed and remains in limbo. Costner is believed to be looking for money to finish shooting the films.

    A representative for Horizon Series didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
