À propos de cet audio
Kevin Costner has had a dramatic and headline-grabbing week that continues the fascinating and sometimes turbulent story of his life and career. Most notably, Costner is making major news as a judge has denied his bid to dismiss a harassment lawsuit related to an unscheduled rape scene filmed during production on Horizon Chapter 2. Variety confirms this legal setback, meaning the case will proceed. This story, which originated with a lawsuit filed by a stunt performer in May 2025, has become a significant part of the ongoing saga of Costner’s relationship with the Horizon films and could impact his professional legacy.
In business and career development, Costner is reportedly pursuing a very unexpected venture after the disappointing reception of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 and amid rumors of his contentious exit from Yellowstone. According to a Page Six source reported in The News, he is deeply involved in a “deep-sea diving binge to discover sunken treasure,” an adventure with shades of his Waterworld days and previous attempts at ocean exploration. The same source says he is shopping around a TV series based on these exploits, but industry insiders suggest the commercial failure of Horizon Chapter 1 has made investors hesitant to come on board. While none of this has been officially confirmed by Costner himself, it fits with his pattern of bold if unpredictable career moves.
On the public appearance front, Costner has some much-needed uplifting news. He is scheduled to host a free public screening of Field of Dreams at Scottsdale Stadium in Arizona on October 25, a rare opportunity for fans to watch the classic film with the star in attendance. This event, highlighted in both the Phoenix New Times and AZ Central, underscores his enduring connection to roles that have inspired generations. It’s also part of a larger celebration linked to the Western Wiffle Ball Classic and marks another recent visit by Costner to Arizona after receiving a Western Spirit Award in February.
Adding to the mix of public life, last weekend saw Prince Harry and Meghan Markle make a surprise appearance at a benefit concert hosted at Costner’s Summerland home to support Santa Barbara County’s first responders, according to AOL. While the spotlight was largely on the royal guests, the event reinforced Costner’s ongoing philanthropic involvement in his community.
Costner’s presence on social media has been relatively quiet, he acknowledged on Threads earlier this week that fans had noticed his recent digital silence. That hiatus was briefly broken when he honored his late Bodyguard co-star Whitney Houston with a heartfelt Instagram post Friday afternoon, as Town & Country reported.
One other note from the entertainment world this week: The Untouchables—Costner’s star-making turn as Eliot Ness—has surged into the global top ten on Paramount Plus, as Collider reports, a reminder of how enduring some of his earlier work remains even as his current projects prompt new controversy and speculation.
