Lawsuit Filed Over Unpaid Horizon Chapter 2 Costumes

Kevin Costner and the production companies behind his Western epic Horizon: An American Saga are facing a new lawsuit over unpaid costume rentals for the film's second chapter. Western Costume Co. filed the breach-of-contract suit on Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, accusing the defendants of failing to pay approximately $134,000 in fees and returning damaged items used during filming of Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2.

The complaint details that the North Hollywood-based company provided costumes under an agreement with Costner, 70, and his banner Territory Pictures, among other entities. Invoices from 2024 show the outstanding balance, which the suit claims went unpaid despite no disputes over receipt or quality of the items. The production allegedly did not compensate at the agreed rate and returned some costumes in poor condition, leading to replacement costs. Western Costume is seeking a total of about $440,000, including $150,000 in economic damages, $200,000 in attorney fees, $40,000 in accrued interest and $100,000 in punitive damages. The filing describes the actions as malicious, oppressive and fraudulent, without proper motive.
