Costner's 'Horizon' Hit By $440K Lawsuit Over Unpaid Costumes

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.
