“I brought them with me to France, but they’re anxious to see it with no subtitles,” he said with a laugh.

During a panel following the movie’s screening at the festival, Costner spoke about how he’s made a point to emphasize the more emotional, human moments inHorizon, marking a contrast from typical western fare that highlights gun fights and the like.

“It’s the little things in our life that catch us, that we never forget. We’re bound to get those big things. But movies are the same way,” he continued. “They’re about details that somehow you never, ever forget, and you try to build them in, if you’re lucky, there’s people who catch them, and the only way to catch them is to try to logic and behavior. I mean, I’m not talking about science, but just stick with behavior. It’s pretty damn entertaining.”

Costner also briefly spoke about finally bringing his epic, multi-filmHorizonproject into fruition after first trying to launch it more than 30 years ago.

“I started this in 1988 and I couldn’t make it then, and it didn’t seem like anybody liked it too much. So I thought, ‘F— it, I’m going to write four,’ " he said, adding, “I love Hollywood — I do. I’m a romantic about what we can be and what we are.”
