'Yellowstone' star Kevin Costner is planning his next project as '4 different movies' released 'about every 3 months,' and wants to eventually edit them into a TV series

Kevin Costner is working on a western movie and he is thinking big.

The "Yellowstone" star and Oscar winner told Variety this week that he's planning the project, which will be his first directorial effort since 2003's "Outer Range."

The project is being produced by New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Insider requested a comment from Warner Bros.

Costner said it would be at Warner Bros.' discretion if "Horizon" was released theatrically or via a streaming service.

Movie studios have been experimenting with distribution strategies over the last two years during the coronaviruses epidemic.

Warner Bros. released all of its movies at the same time last year. The studio's movies will only be released in theaters for 45 days before they are available to stream.

The market for mid-budget, adult-friendly dramas is struggling as the market recovers from the Pandemic, and the theatrical industry is more focused on intellectual property.

It's difficult to say where the theatrical market will be by the time "Horizon" is done, and whether there will be an appetite for western dramas.

Costner said he initially pitched the project as a television movie. He wants to make the movies into TV shows.

Costner told Variety that at one point in TV, where he can get his largest audience, they'll get to see it the way he intended it to be seen. It will eventually be cut into 42 minutes or an hour-long episode. Four, two-hour-and-45-minute movies will be the first thing they see.
