Kevin Costner thinks his Strong Female Characters are why he has such a 'good following'

Kevin Costner “couldn’t conceive of a scene that didn’t involve a woman” when he was writing Horizon: An American Saga , he said on a recent episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. On the press tour for his big swing, self-financed movie which he co-wrote, directed, and also plays the lead, he has waxed poetic about the lack of women in Westerns and how the female presence shaped and defined that period of American expansion.

I think that’s why I have a good following. I thank you women for dragging your men here. It was a Western after all. I just can’t conceive of a movie without having .” In this way, it seems Costner has created a Western that’s also a metaphor for his fanbase—male-driven, but upheld by the tireless efforts of women. The fangirl is one of the pillars of society, after all. Let’s hope the Costner fangirls come out in droves because Kev’s got a lot riding on this one.
