Warner Bros. Pictures has released a new trailer for Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga ahead of its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

The latest footage previews Costner’s sweeping epic about the Old West that’s set between 1861 and 1865. Costner’s Hayes Ellison travels to Horizon, a new town where he “might be able to see himself.” Expansion won’t be easy, as evidenced by the violent gun battles and fistfights in the trailer.

“Costner’s ambitious cinematic adventure will take audiences on an emotional journey across a country at war with itself, experienced through the lens of families, friends, and foes all attempting to discover what it truly means to be the United States of America,” the official synopsis reads.

Costner directed Horizon: An American Saga from a script he co-wrote with Jon Baird. It’s Costner’s first directorial feature since 2003’s Open Range. Horizon: An American Saga is a passion project and a huge gamble for Costner, who produced the film and mortgaged some of his land in Santa Barbara, California, to finance the film’s estimated $100 million budget. Costner famously won Best Director and Best Picture at the Oscars for his work on another Western, 1990’s Dance with Wolves.

Besides Horizon, Costner has been in the news recently for his comments about his unexpected departure from Yellowstone season 5. Despite leaving the series, Costner is still open to returning as John Dutton for the final run of episodes.

Horizon: An American Saga will be split into two parts. Warner Bros. will release Chapter 1 on June 28, 2024, with Chapter 2 arriving on August 16, 2024. Costner plans to make four Horizon films, with Chapter 3 expected to begin filming this spring.

3 underrated Netflix movies you should watch this weekend (June 14-16)
Three people stand and laugh in Wanderlust.

The Bad Boys have saved summer. Last weekend, Bad Boys: Ride or Die topped the box office by earning a healthy $56 million, which exceeded the disappointing openings of The Fall Guy and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Reports of cinema's demise have been greatly exaggerated it seems, and this weekend's Inside Out 2 is poised to make even more summer cash.

For Netflix, it's business as usual. The Richard Linklater action-comedy Hit Man is deservedly finding its audience, while the schlocky sci-fi movie Atlas continues to attract both the curious and masochists. The streamer also has an extensive library of hidden gems that are still worth watching. This weekend, check out these three underrated movies that should keep you away from the beach or the sun for awhile.

Chromecast or Google Cast? Google’s confusing wireless streaming tech explained

In 2013, Google debuted a small gadget called Chromecast. The device let you stream audio and video from your smartphone, tablet, or computer to your TV. At the time, when smart TVs were still a rarity, it was a far more affordable way to do TV streaming than dedicated streaming media devices like Roku and Apple TV.

The way you used that first Chromecast device was to "cast," the act of wirelessly sending content from your other devices. It didn't come with its own remote, so casting was the only way to get it to play audio and video on your TV. The technology that enabled casting from one device to another was given its own name: Google Cast.
