Kevin Costner opens up about Yellowstone to Yosemite with Kevin Costner

In a recently released statement, Academy Award winner Kevin Costner noted:

"Once in a while, you come across a story that has that truly special mix of elements; it’s stranger than fiction and happens against all odds. It results in something that legitimately changes the world for the good and, most importantly, it all really happened. The story of President Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir’s camping trip through Yosemite is one of those truly special ones, and I’m excited to dig into the next chapter of the preservation of the American frontier.”

In the same vein, Fox Nation President Lauren Peterson added:

"Kevin Costner has a unique ability to capture the American experience and captivate an audience through his extraordinary storytelling. With the enormous success of our first project together, there is no filmmaker that better embodies the spirit of America 250 than Costner.”

Costner served as the executive producer on the drama docu-series which was produced via his Territory Films in conjunction with Rod Lake and Mark Pierce on behalf of co-producing company Warm Springs Productions.

What's the latest buzz about Kevin Costner?

Costner has been fondly associated with the Western genre for a long time now. The last few months have been particularly busy for him as he was involved with the writing and direction of his long-awaited passion project Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 2.

Costner also served as the creator and the producer on this project, which is awaiting it's premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on February 7, 2025.

The entire project consists of four parts, the first of which was released back in June, 2024. Although the first and second parts of Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 2 were shot on a combined budget of about $100 million, the first chapter managed to return less than $39 million in revenue.

Costner was also the leading figure on Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone, portraying the family patriarch John Dutton III. Despite raking in rave reviews, Costner didn't return for the show's final season. When asked about the future of the flagship show and it's various spinoffs, Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler) had previously stated:

"We will see what happens over the next year or so and we'll see what's next. Hopefully, we can continue to get in people's living rooms and entertain them the way we have over the last seven years. For me, to be able to do that, to educate people, enlighten and entertain them is always the dream."
