Fans will recall Will Patton, who enjoyed a recurring role in Yellowstone seasons 3 and 4 as Garrett Randall, Jamie Dutton’s (Wes Bentley) biological father. Now, Patton is set to join the cast of Kevin Costner’s Western movie, Horizon. According to Deadline, this will mark the fourth time Patton and Costner have worked together.

The cast of the movie will also include other well-known actors, including Isabelle Fuhrman, Jena Malone, Luke Wilson, Michael Angarano, Michael Rooker, Thomas Haden Church and more. As with Patton, none of the actors’ roles have yet been revealed.
What is the plot of Horizon?
So far, we know that Horizon tells the story of America’s expansion into the West over a 15-year period, pre- and post-American Civil War. It will reveal the people’s grueling trek through the elements, as well as their interaction with the indigenous peoples. Among them, some will take ruthless measures to be able to settle on the land.
Meanwhile, it turns out Horizon is Costner’s fourth time of directing a movie. Besides The Postman and Open Range, he also directed the 1990 movie, Dances With Wolves. Moreover, he is also producing the movie through his Territory Pictures production company. He also co-wrote the script of Horizon with Jon Baird.

Filming started on Horizon in southern Utah on August 29. Meanwhile, it is expected that production will wrap by the end of November. Moreover, Costner has revealed that Horizon is planned as four movies, in order to connect as an overarching saga. In fact, he aims to release a new Horizon movie quarterly. Meanwhile, the Yellowstone star said the project was sold as “an event television movie.”
While having to await news of the release of Costner’s movie, Horizon, fans can catch season 5 of Yellowstone on November 13.
