‘You Wonder If You Can Still Ride the Bike’: Kevin Costner on Directing Again After Two Decades

Kevin Costner is an esteemed actor, but also a critically acclaimed director. Having won an Oscar for his directorial debut in 1990’s Dances With Wolves, the actor took a two-decade break from directing until 2024’s Horizon: An American Saga.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Kevin Costner addressed what made him get back in the director’s chair after two decades, and praised his upcoming film. Dances With Wolves is one of Costner’s most acclaimed and famous films, and he returned to directing two more times since, once with 1997’s The Postman, and another with 2003’s Open Range. With a two-decade break, Costner felt like he believed enough in the story to get in the director’s chair again for the fourth time.
Costner acknowledged that, “There are people that are more talented than myself, I’m sure that [there are] directors [who] really understand the camera, but I believe in the story and I believe so much in it that for me I think that comes shining through my movies. I don’t really blow anybody away with my technical understanding of things, I just film the moments and try to put my actors in spots where they can succeed, and I try to shoot them against backgrounds that are undeniable.”
