Yellowstone star Kevin Costner has secured a role in an upcoming dramedy, marking one of his first film projects since the opening chapter of his four-part Western epic Horizon flopped at the box office.
This follows his departure from his character John Dutton in the hit Paramount Network series by Taylor Sheridan midway through its fifth season. After leaving the show to focus on his personal passion project, the Hollywood heavyweight has now landed a part in the comedy-drama Honeymoon With Harry for Amazon MGM Studios.
Meanwhile, previously, Costner opened up about the film Horizon, which flopped at the box office. It got mixed reviews and only earned $11 million at the box office in its opening weekend on a $100 million budget. “It didn’t have overwhelming success,” the actor said.
Costner will star alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the production adapted from Bart Baker’s book and written by Dan Fogelman, known for his hit NBC series This Is Us.
Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are set to helm the project, following their previous collaboration with Fogelman on the beloved romantic comedy Crazy Stupid Love, plus This Is Us and Paradise, reports the Express.
The second chapter was showcased at the Venice and Santa Barbara film festivals but hasn’t seen a widespread release due to the commercial letdown of the first film.
The next part is currently in production, with the fourth and final chapter in its early development stages.
Besides his starring and directing roles in his ambitious Civil War epic, he revisited the same era of American history for the period spy thriller The Gray House, which he co-produced through his company Territory Pictures.
He’s also set to star in the upcoming surfer thriller Headhunters, alongside Chloe East and Daniel Zovatto, a film which Costner also co-wrote with director Steven Holleran.
Additionally, he’s slated to appear in an as-yet-untitled film from filmmaker Ariel Vromen, with whom he previously collaborated on the 2016 thriller Criminal, which also starred Gary Oldman and Ryan Reynolds.
On the other hand, Costner’s co-star Jake Gyllenhaal was most recently seen in the Apple TV+ thriller Presumed Innocent and Prime Video’s Road House remake, both of which were released last year.
Honeymoon With Harry does not yet have a release date. Yellowstone is available to stream on Paramount+.
