ScreenRant: I liked the primary Horizon film and I’m nonetheless ready to see Half 2 due to the entire theatrical launch shakeup. If I’m not mistaken, are you filming Half 3 proper now?

Glynn Turman: They began filming Half 3. I don’t know in the event that they’ve continued it. I feel there was a short lived shutdown and I don’t know in the event that they went again, however Half 2, I can’t wait to see. It’s type of irritating on my half, everyone’s half that’s linked, however I really like Half 1 as properly. I’m glad you probably did as properly. It takes us again to old school moviemaking and watching tales and Kevin is without doubt one of the finest at doing that, so my hat’s off to him. What a daring transfer he made.

ScreenRant: Have you ever heard any updates on the discharge of Half 2?

Glynn Turman: Not a factor.

They Show The Franchise’s Future Stays Bleak

Turman’s feedback assist the continuing lack of readability surrounding the Horizon: An American Saga franchise that has been endemic ever since Chapter 2 was pulled from its unique theatrical launch date in summer time 2024.

Chapter 2 debuted on the September 2024 Venice Movie Pageant, however as Turman mentions, there may be nonetheless no plan in place for a large launch.

Principal pictures on Chapter 3 notably started earlier than Chapter 1 was launched in theaters, but it surely was certainly paused (as a result of writers’ and actors’ strikes), as Turman famous to ScreenRant‘s Liam Crowley.

On high of every thing, the newest lawsuit in opposition to Costner entails a stunt performer being compelled into an unscripted sexual assault scene. It appears much less and fewer probably that Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 3 ever will get accomplished, and Chapter 4 looks as if a pipe dream at this level. Sadly, with solely two elements of a four-part collection accomplished, the challenge basically turns into moot, as not one of the tales arrange within the first six hours of content material will ever ship the supposed payoffs. Turman’s feedback paint the image of an unlucky end result for the Horizon: An American Saga collection.
