As the actor’s fans know, Costner, 68, is currently busy with a new project that allegedly took him away from Yellowstone. The actor has reportedly been planning the Western movie series, Horizon, which will feature four movies relating to the Civil War. According to Deadline, Costner is starring, directing, writing and producing the movies and even put up his own money to finance the project. Meanwhile, besides the Yellowstone actor, Kathleen Quinlan, Glynn Turman and Giovanni Ribisi are also set to star.
