Kevin Costner<\/strong><\/a> galloped away from Yellowstone<\/em><\/a> \u2014 but he\u2019s obsessively eyeing the hit\u2019s multiple TV spinoffs and griping the shows are doomed to fail without his valuable input, sources exclusively tell Life & Style<\/em>.<\/p>\n Kevin, 69, scored a Golden Globe for portraying patriarch John Dutton on the wildly popular Western, which lasted five seasons \u2014 but sources say he butted heads<\/a> with creator Taylor Sheridan<\/strong>, 54, over scheduling and left to shoot<\/a> the first installment of Horizon: An American Saga<\/em>, his widely panned Western<\/a> epic.<\/p>\n Now, sources say he is smarting over his passion project\u2019s lackluster reviews and poor box office returns.<\/p>\n \u201cKevin\u2019s well aware the likes of Taylor Sheridan and other turncoats are probably chuckling over Horizon<\/em>\u2018s bad viewing numbers, and it\u2019s only strengthened his bitterness and dislike toward them,\u201d an insider says.<\/p>\n \u201cIt would give him a lot of quiet satisfaction seeing those guys fall flat on their faces for even attempting to breathe fresh life into the show he sees very much as his baby \u2014 not theirs,\u201d the insider adds.<\/p>\n Entertainment sources say Taylor is expanding Yellowstone<\/em>\u2018s empire with The Madison<\/em>, which will star Michelle Pfeiffer<\/strong>, Kurt Russell<\/strong> and Patrick J. Adams <\/strong>\u2014 adding to the already existing prequels 1883<\/em>, 1923<\/em> and 1944<\/em>.<\/p>\n But the insider says, \u201cAt the end of the day, Kevin thinks the Yellowstone<\/em> bosses are running around like delusional headless chickens. His bottom line, however egotistical it may sound, is that without his genius \u2014 even on a consulting level \u2014 it\u2019s not going to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
