Costner's 'Horizon' Hit By $440K Lawsuit Over Unpaid Costumes
23 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Costner's production company sued for $440,000 in unpaid costume rentals.
- Lawsuit also alleges damage to some of the rented Western costumes.
- Mounting financial woes impact 'Horizon' film series completion efforts.
Kevin Costner's production company, Territory Pictures, has been sued by Western Costume for approximately $440,000. The lawsuit, filed in California state court, alleges breach of contract for unpaid costume rental fees and damage to some rented outfits for 'Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2'. This legal challenge arises as Costner struggles to secure financing for the completion of the 'Horizon' film series.
Funding for subsequent 'Horizon' installments has proven difficult, with past discussions with Saudi officials not resulting in a deal. The release of 'Chapter 2' is currently without a date, following the underperformance of the first film, which grossed $38.7 million against a $100 million budget. Earlier this year, the production settled another lawsuit concerning unpaid rental fees for both chapters.
Adding to these challenges, Costner faces an ongoing arbitration with Horizon's bondholder and distributor over a co-financing agreement. Furthermore, a separate lawsuit from a stunt performer on 'Chapter 2' alleges sexual discrimination, harassment, and retaliation related to an unscripted scene filmed without an intimacy coordinator.
