So, this is what I’ve heard. After Amazon failed in nabbing Kevin Costner’s “Horizon,” Netflix had now also made and offer to acquire the film. The streaming giant would partially help in funding chapters 3 and 4, but most of the budget would still be financed by outside parties. The plan would be to release each chapter, months apart, on Netflix, with potential plans to eventually, if Costner agrees, turn it into an episodic mini-series.
