Kevin Costner's ‘Horizon: An American Saga' Star Gives Filming Update
Kevin Costner in "Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1." Danny Huston, who plays a major role in Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Saga has given a promising update about the beleaguered Western film series. Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 was released on June 28, 2024, and struggled for five weeks at the box office. When the film ended its theatrical run in early August, it only earned $29 million in North American theaters and $9.7 million internationally for a worldwide domestic gross of $38.7 million against a $100 million production budget before prints and advertising Variety reported. Costner spent $38 million of his own money to finance Horizon, per Variety, alongside two unnamed private investors. Horizon Chapter 1 not only prematurely completed its theatrical run on Aug. 8, 2024, but the planned Aug. 16, 2024, release of Horizon Chapter 2 was postponed by Costner's production company and distributor New Line Cinema, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. With an initial release date set a mere six weeks after Horizon Chapter 1 was released in theaters in late June of 2024, Costner still proceeded to complete Horizon Chapter 2 and held the film's worldwide premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on Sept. 7, 2024. After that, Costner staged Horizon Chapter 2's U.S. premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Feb. 7. While the release date of Horizon Chapter 2 remains in limbo, Huston — who plays Col. Albert Houghton in Costner's Western saga — has a positive update for fans who want to see the actor-director-producer see the film series through its completion. During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Danny Huston — the son of the late legendary director John Huston and brother of fellow actor Anjelica Huston — said that Costner has largely completed filming Horizon Chapter 3. "I think he's got a lot of Chapter 3 in the can, actually. But there's no stopping him,' Danny Huston told Screen Rant of Costner's progress on the third Horizon: An American Saga movie. 'He's just unbelievable, and this dream of his is coming to life in a spectacular way. It's just extraordinary what he does.' Kevin Costner Has Made No Secret That He's Looking For More 'Horizon' Investors Despite the setbacks surrounding Horizon: An American Saga Chapters 1 and 2, Kevin Costner has pressed on with completing his film series, saying during a Deadline Contenders panel for Horizon Chapter 1 on Nov. 16, 2024, that he was searching for more investors. 'I'm hoping, I'm dreaming, I'm meeting all the billionaires that we all hear about — they're all hiding in the shadows,' Costner said during the Deadline Contenders event, adding that he was working on Horizon Chapter 3 with an eye on making Chapter 4. 'I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'm going to make it and then I'm going to make the fourth one,' Costner said at the Deadline Contenders panel. 'And if you want to say 'the end' at that point, then that's the end.' Apart from the filming setbacks, Horizon: An American Saga has also been weathering some legal issues surrounding the production. The Hollywood Reporter reported in early May that Horizon Series (which is Costner's loan-out firm), New Line Cinema and City National Bank were involved in a legal battle. Then in late May, a stunt double filed a lawsuit against the production, 'alleging sexual harassment, hostile work environment and intentional infliction of emotional distress,' NBC News reported. According to NBC News, the stunt double alleges in the complaint that a ''violent, unscripted, unscheduled' rape scene unfolded during filming in Utah on May 2, 2023." Kevin Costner's Horizon: Chapter 2's release date is yet to be announced.

Pamela Anderson stuns Naked Gun fans with VERY raunchy scene (involving a brush!) with Liam Neeson
was totally game to perform a very suggestive scene, on her knees, alongside Liam Neeson in the first trailer for The Naked Gun, which dropped Monday. In it, a henchman hired by Danny Huston's villain gazes at the pair, who are seemingly performing a sex act, through infrared night-vision goggles. But it was all an optical illusion as the 57-year-old Baywatch alum's character Beth was on her knees cleaning a 'disgusting' oven as the 73-year-old Irishman's Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. stood nearby. Pamela portrays a nightclub singer, who comes to Police Squad for help following the murder of her brother, in Akiva Schaffer's slapstick comedy continuation. 'Please, take a chair,' Frank offered. At that, Beth literally grabbed a chair and dragged it out of the office. 'Our chemistry was clear from the start. We have the utmost respect for one another,' Anderson told EW last month. 'I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed "professionally romantic" during filming.' The Canadian-American beauty and Liam bonded over their shared 'love of literature and a good laugh' and she regularly left cookies, muffins, and homebaked sourdough bread in his dressing room. 'I am in awe of him, his experience, and work ethic. I soaked him in like a sponge,' Pamela gushed. 'I'm hoping people love it. We had so much fun making it. I think it's timely for a beloved comedy like this. I'm a fan of the originals. As Liam says, "We could all use a good giggle." I pray we do more.' And the feeling was definitely mutual for Neeson, who gushed to People last October: 'I'm madly in love with her. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.' The Naked Gun - hitting US/UK theaters August 1 - also features Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Busta Rhymes, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, and Eddie Yu. Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker wrote and directed the original trilogy spanning 1988-1994, which amassed a total $476.4M at the global box office, following the short-lived ABC series Police Squad in 1982. The Oscar-nominated actor is technically five years older than original Naked Gun star Leslie Nielsen was when he shot the third film. But it was all an optical illusion as the 57-year-old Baywatch alum's character Beth was on her knees cleaning a 'disgusting' oven as the 73-year-old Irishman's Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. stood nearby Anderson told EW last month: 'Our chemistry was clear from the start. We have the utmost respect for one another. I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed "professionally romantic" during filming' The Canadian-American beauty and Liam bonded over their shared 'love of literature and a good laugh' and she regularly left cookies, muffins, and homebaked sourdough bread in his dressing room Anderson previously worked with the late white-haired funnyman - who died, age 84, in 2010 - in Scary Movie 3 (2003) and Superhero Movie (2008), but they did not share any scenes together. This September, the Sonsie Skin co-founder will fly to England to shoot a mystery role in Sally Potter's upcoming funeral drama Alma alongside Dakota Fanning and Lindsay Duncan. In April, Pamela was in Australia filming her role as two-time divorcée Molly in Kornél Mundruczó's upcoming drama Place to Be alongside Ellen Burstyn and Taika Waititi. Last September, Anderson was hard at work on the Spanish set of Karim Aïnouz's dark satire Rosebush Pruning for Mubi alongside Elle Fanning, Callum Turner, Riley Keough, Jamie Bell, and Lukas Gage. The 15-time Playboy cover girl experienced a full-blown career resurgence last year after starring in Gia Coppola's drama The Last Showgirl, which earned her Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations.

Consecration review – creepy nuns deliver the classic moves of holy terror very effectively
This is the way the world ends, not with a bang but a wimple. In this well-crafted horror movie, a young woman called Grace (Jena Malone) finds herself up against a bunch of nuns who may or may not be trying to do something extremely dodgy with an unknown relic, and as with last year's Omen prequel, there's a nice line in casting here from the Ladybird Book of Horror Nuns. There's dotty young nun who pops up going 'peekaboo' (Eilidh Fisher), an arrogant mother superior (Janet Suzman), a hardliner weapon-of-Christ sort (Jolade Obasola), and the rather rarer spooky nun with one eye hidden behind an ominous white bandage (Alexandra Lewis). Their acting is uniformly excellent, as is that from Danny Huston, who plays a priest who introduces himself thusly: 'I'm Father Romero, I'm here from the Vatican,' which announces him as probably up to no good from the get-go. Grace arrives to identify the body of her brother (Steffan Cennydd), seemingly involved in a murder-suicide, has reasons of her own for being less than a fully paid-up God squad member, and while the reasons may not be much of a surprise if you've seen a few of these kinds of films, this is a very nicely put together example. Sure, it's purest hokum, but real pride has gone into crafting it.. Cocooning the treats of the storytelling in natural splendour, Consecration boasts some gorgeous location work; filmed on Skye and other scenic areas, there are rolling highlands, vertiginous cliff-tops, a tumbledown abbey on the crest of a hill – which you just have to accept as the site of the Knights of the Morning Star, an ancient dark force in the church. The world of the film feels real, a splendid argument for less green screen, more green fields – kudos to veteran British horror helmer Christopher Smith (Severance). Consecration is on digital platforms from 16 June.

Child star who went nude with Nicole Kidman has ditched fame for fishing in shocking transformation
The former child star Cameron Bright has undergone a dramatic transformation in the years since he starred in a nude scene with Nicole Kidman in a controversial film. The actor, now 32, appeared in a 'creepy' bathtub sequence with the actress, now 57, in the 2004 psychological thriller Birth, and was later involved in smaller projects, and starred in three installments of The Twilight Saga. But he has since stepped away from the limelight and taken up fishing as he occasionally shows off his catches on social media. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Around four years ago, he opened up about wanting to become a film producer and shared an Instagram post of a script he was working on with a friend. But he has since moved into video game streaming on Twitch, lives in Vancouver Island, Canada after leaving Hollywood behind. In February, he shared photos of himself fishing and showing off his haul on a boat as he bundled up against the chilly weather. Over two decades ago, the film he starred in alongside Kidman was the subject of controversy due to the bathtub scene, which many critics called 'creepy'. Birth follows Kidman's character Anna, a widow who is planning to marry her boyfriend Joseph (Danny Huston) about 10 years after her late husband Sean's death. But on the night of her engagement party a young boy also named Sean arrives to tell her his her late husband reincarnated. At first, she ignores him but when he reveals his uncanny knowledge of her former husband's life, she starts to believe that he could be telling her the truth. Last year Nicole spoke about the movie directed by Jonathan Glazer and said she does not agree it was 'strange' and 'unsettling.' 'I just have an enormous amount of trust,' she told the Los Angeles Times in April 2024. 'I will just go places and align with people and go, "Here I am. I'm yours. We'll live and die together."' Cameron also played the Volturi vampire Alec, twin brother to Jane, who is played by Dakota Fanning, in the Twilight films New Moon (2009), Eclipse (2010), and Breaking Dawn, Part II (2012).

He split up with Anya ahead of her beating Daisy to the best actress at the Golden Globes in 2021. Meanwhile, Daisy split from her ex-boyfriend Tom Varey in late 2020 after two years of dating.

Speaking to Elle, Daisy explained: 'I have worked with basically all of the internet's boyfriends, and I'm lucky that every actor I've worked with has been incredibly supportive of me being the lead. Glen, Sebastian, Paul, all of them. 'I think that's why they're so successful and so loved and so good: that they are so generous, and they really serve the story and are not serving themselves. 'Glen was always like, "What's Kate's journey in this? Let's find it." And same with Sebastian; he was so completely invested in Noa's journey. 'Paul's like playing tennis with your best friend. I'm nervous for the point that it comes to working with someone who might not be so chill with it! Because there's so much ego that can exist in this industry.' Daisy is the daughter of leading British TV executive Phil Edgar-Jones. Branded the new English 'It Girl', the actress has set the internet ablaze in recent years, after earning Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations for Normal People. She has starred opposite Andrew Garfield in the crime drama Under The Banner Of Heaven, and was the lead in the film Where The Crawdads Sing. Daisy went on to discuss impostor syndrome and self-doubt, admitting: 'I remember when Normal People first came out and I was being interviewed loads, I talked so much about experiencing impostor syndrome. I really thought it would go away, and it hasn't. But I'm working on it. 'I don't want that fear of not being good enough to ruin my life.'
