Kevin Costner’s sprawling western “Horizon” premiered at the festival, the imagined first part of a four-part epic (its subtitle, appropriately, is “An American Saga”), and received a response just as grand as the movie’s huge cast and gargantuan runtime: a 13-minute standing ovation that left the director and star visibly moved. “I’m sorry you had to clap that long,” Costner said, choking back tears. “Such good people. Such a good moment. Not just for me, but for the actors who came with me, the people who believed in me. It’s a funny business and I’m so glad I found it. There’s no place like here. I’ll never forget this. Neither will my children. It’s not mine anymore, it’s yours.” He also promised three more installments in the franchise; there was a trailer for Part 2 that played at the end of the screening.

The series is billed at the top of every episode as a true story. “I have no doubt that the character of ‘Martha’ in ‘Baby Reindeer’ was intended to be a portrayal of me,” Harvey said. “The problem for Richard Gadd and now for Netflix is that ‘Baby Reindeer’ is not a true story at all. I am not a ‘convicted stalker.’ I have never been charged with any crime, let alone been convicted, still less pleaded guilty and of course I have never been to prison for anything. This is how Gadd and Netflix chose to portray me in a TV show, for their own financial gain.” [Read More]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Scarlett Johansson attends the Clooney Foundation for Justice's 2023 Albie Awards in New York City]( [Scarlett Johansson Says She Declined ChatGPT's Proposal to Use Her Voice for AI – But They Used It Anyway: 'I Was Shocked']( [Amal Clooney attends The Fashion Awards 2023 in London]( [Amal Clooney Calls for War Crime Arrests of Benjamin Netanyahu, Hamas Leaders Because No ‘Perpetrator Should Be Above the Law’]( [cannes-so-far-furiosa-megalopolis]( [Cannes So Far: Filmmakers Go Mega in a Muted Festival]( [Common The Faith of Long Beach]( [Common Boards Social Justice Thriller ‘Grassland’ as Executive Producer | Exclusive]( --------------------------------------------------------------- [Wrap Pro logo] Discover why entertainment executives and professionals rely on the WrapPRO platform daily for exclusive coverage, analysis, deeper reporting, and access to VIP events & screenings throughout the year.
