(we’re not making this up)

It seems someone neglected to pay for all those chaps and 10-gallon hats.

The Details

Per The Hollywood Reporter , Western Costume seeks $440,000 from Costner and his Territory Pictures production company for unpaid costume fees and damages to the garments. It’s the latest legal battle for a series that has totally stalled out.

After Chapter 1 bombed at the box office, Horizon: Chapter 2 never received theatrical distribution, placing the finished film in limbo. Who knows if we’ll ever see what that dastardly Giovanni Ribisi was up to at the end of Chapter 1 , but Costner has faced numerous lawsuits since the film premiered at the Venice International Film Festival.

Why This Matters

Earlier this year, Costner and the production were sued by a stunt performer over an improperly staged rape scene . Meanwhile, Costner faces arbitration against Horizon ’s bondholder, City National Bank, and distributor, New Line Cinema, over co-financing contract breaches. And, THR reports that construction is underway on a $100 million studio in Utah to maybe, hopefully, possibly finish the last two Chapter s that we can’t imagine will ever see the light of day.

The entertainment world moves fast, and this is a prime example.

The Bottom Line

And, THR reports that construction is underway on a $100 million studio in Utah to maybe, hopefully, possibly finish the last two Chapter s that we can’t imagine will ever see the light of day. Still, Costner persists.
