Kevin Costner sued for huge sum over unpaid…
Kevin Costner is going through a new lawsuit associated to the sequel to his Western box workplace bomb, “Horizon: An American Saga.”
Western Costume Leasing Company filed a lawsuit Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court against Costner, 70, and his manufacturing banner Territory Pictures for breach of contract, claiming the defendants didn’t pay for rented costumes used in “Horizon: An American Sage — Chapter Two.”
The lawsuit is looking for roughly $440,000 from Costner and his producers, according to court paperwork obtained by The Post.

The criticism states that the defendants owe $134,256.82 in initial funds for the costumes. Costner and the producers allegedly “did not pay the agreed upon rate for the costumes and failed to return the costumes undamaged,” the lawsuit claims.
Western Costume Leasing Company is also asking for $150,000 in financial damages, $200,000 in attorney’s charges, $40,000 in accrued curiosity on the payments and $100,000 in punitive damages.
The lawsuit claims Costner and his producers “did not commit these acts out of any sincere or proper motive, but did so maliciously, oppressively and fraudulently.”
The company included alleged invoices of the rented costumes in the lawsuit to back up the claims.

The Post has reached out to Costner and Western Costume Leasing Company for remark.
Costner directed, produced and starred in “Horizon 2,” which didn’t get its deliberate theatrical release after the first movie in the Western franchise bombed at the box workplace.
Instead, the sequel premiered at the Venice International Film Festival in Sept. 2024 and screened at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in Feb. 2025.
Two more “Horizon” movies are in the works, though Costner is allegedly struggling to finance them.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, last 12 months the actor “met with top Saudi officials and pitched them on helping to finance the third and fourth installments,” but the deal didn’t go through.
Costner, who spent at least $38 million of his own money to make the first “Horizon,” beforehand spoke about the struggles of financing his blockbuster goals.
“I need some more money — I do. I need some of these big billionaires, with f – – king boats ‘from here to here’ who are fond of telling people they’re billionaires to come with me and make a movie,” he said last 12 months on The Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast.
“I don’t have the money they have and I’ve already made two of ’em. Where are you rich guys?” the “Yellowstone” alum added.

Costner is going through another lawsuit associated to the manufacturing of his “Horizon” sequel.
In May, stunt performer Devyn LaBella filed a lawsuit against Costner, claiming she was “the victim of a violent unscripted, unscheduled rape scene” that was directed by the Hollywood star.
LaBella also shared alleged textual content messages exchanged with the movie’s intimacy coordinator, Celeste Cheney, as evidence for her accusations.

Costner has denied LaBella’s claims.
“Ms. LaBella was doing a rehearsal on an Insert Shot for a scripted scene. There was no intimacy or anything inappropriate in the shot. There was tugging on a dress while she was fully clothed in a dress with long bloomers lying down next to a male actor. Numerous witnesses have contradicted Ms. LaBella’s meritless claims. She herself texted her supervisor after she wrapped stating ‘Thank you for these wonderful weeks,’” Costner’s lawyer, Marty Singer, told The Post in a assertion in June.
“We look forward to the swift end of this specious lawsuit,” the assertion added.
