Kevin Costner<\/strong><\/a> has a $100 million bill to pay after the dismal, ongoing failure of Horizon: An American Saga<\/em> \u2013 and a source exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em> he\u2019s being forced to cash in on a trove of precious assets, including one or more of his sprawling ranches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cKevin banked Horizon largely, but not entirely, on undeveloped California land he owns, and reality is starting to set in that he\u2019s likely going to have to part with this real estate and also reshuffle his other holdings to remain solvent after the disappointing showing of the first film in this saga,\u201d the source explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Even Kevin\u2019s costar, Luke Wilson<\/strong>, who played Matthew Van Weyden in the four-part epic Western film series, was \u201cseriously spooked by how badly the movie did, especially with the critics,\u201d a second source previously told Life & Style<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt just doesn\u2019t make sense to him, and he\u2019s freaked out by it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The first of four movies premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 19; however, the critical reaction hit almost entirely negatively<\/a>, which didn\u2019t bode well for the film ahead of its wide release on June 28.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n About the film, the BBC<\/em>\u2019s Nicholas Barber<\/strong> called it a \u201cthree-hour slog \u2026 full of stultifying slow dialogue scenes.\u201d While Entertainment Weekly<\/em>\u2019s Jordan Hoffman<\/strong> deemed the passion project \u201cdull as dirt.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Chapter 2<\/em> had its premiere at the 81st Venice International Film Festival on September 7, while the third and fourth parts\u2019 release dates have yet to be scheduled.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMake no mistake: Kevin is determined to make all four films and get them out to his fans,\u201d the first source continues, \u201cand Horizon: An American Saga \u2013 Chapter 1<\/em> did not do horribly when it went to home video.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tepid home video sales may not be able to make up for the $38 million of his own money the Waterworld<\/em> star poured into the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
