In other news, Kevin Costner, who is currently dealing with his divorce from Christine Baumgartner, has made a bold financial move for his Western film venture, the Horizon franchise. Costner mortgaged a 10-acre waterfront property in Santa Barbara, contributing up to $50 million of the project’s $100 million budget. Despite the financial gamble, Costner is confident in the vision, stating: “I believe in the idea and the story”. He also declared that this would be his final personal investment in a film, saying: “I’m never putting my money in another movie after these four”.
