Horizon, which returns Costner to the Civil War backdrop since his multi-Oscar winning Dances With Wolves, chronicles a multi-faceted 15-year span of pre-and post-Civil War expansion and settlement of the American west.  Experienced through the eyes of many, the epic journey is fraught with peril and intrigue from the constant onslaught of natural elements, to the interactions with the indigenous peoples who lived on the land, and the determination and at many times ruthlessness of those who sought to settle it. Costner stars, directs, produces under his Territory Pictures banner, and co-wrote Horizon with Jon Baird.

Patton’s 60-plus feature credits include Remember the Titans, Armageddon, The Mothman Prophecies, and the Oscar-winning Minari. In addition, he starred in Alexandre Rockwell’s Sweet Thing for which he received a 2022 Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Actor, Boaz Yakin’s Boarding School, An Actor Prepares with Jeremy Irons, Megan Leavey with Kate Mara and Edie Falco, and American Honey the indie favorite and Cannes Festival prizewinner directed by Andrea Arnold. Other movies include Hammer, Blood on Her Name, Radioflash, The Scent of Rain & Lightning, The Girl, The November Man, Meeks Cutoff, Brooklyn’s Finest, A Mighty Heart, The Fourth Kind, Gone In 60 Seconds, After Hours, The Rapture, Inventing the Abbotts, The Client, In the Soup, and Desperately Seeking Susan.

Patton’s recent TV credits also include the Amazon series Outer Range opposite Josh Brolin. He starred as Avery Sunderland in DC Comic’s Swamp Thing and in the acclaimed Fox series Shots Fired. Patton played the role of “Captain Weaver” for five seasons of Steven Spielberg’s Falling Skies on TNT.

He is repped by APA and Kate Edwards at Grand View Management.
