Yellowstone veteran Kevin Costner shared the first trailer for his ambitious Western epic Horizon: An American Saga on Monday.

The 69-year-old veteran movie star looks ragged as pioneer Hayes Ellison who treks West through dangerous territory in hopes of a new life.

The first movie is coming out in two parts this summer – in June then in August – and chronicles a 15-year span of pre-and post-Civil War expansion and settlement of the American west.

The clip was three minutes long and hinted at a romance between Costner’s character and the woman played by Abbey Lee, 36.

Also seen in the trailer were Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Jena Malone, Michael Rooker, Danny Huston, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jeff Fahey, Will Patton, Tantanka Means, Owen Crow Shoe, Ella Hunt and Jamie Campbell Bower.

This is Costner’s passion project that took him away from playing John Dutton on Taylor Sheridan’s smash hit series Yellowstone.

When Kevin introduced the trailer during a Zoom call with reporters he shared: ‘There was a great injustice incurred in the West, but it doesn’t minimize the courage it took for my ancestors to actually cut loose and go there. And I recognize the resourcefulness it took, the bravery it took, to leave and make this march across this country.’
