Cannes Film Festival: Kevin Costner Will Guest on THR’s ‘Awards Chatter’ Podcast Live From the Palais

The Hollywood Reporter and Campari are pleased to invite attendees of the upcoming Cannes Film Festival to a very special event at the fest: a live in-depth interview with Kevin Costner, the legendary actor and Oscar-winning filmmaker, followed by a cocktail reception.

On Sunday, May 19, at 11:30am Cannes time, Costner will sit down with THR’s executive awards editor Scott Feinberg in the Campari Lounge of the Palais to record an episode of THR’s Awards Chatter podcast that will encompass his life, career and the film that brings him to the Croisette this year: Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1. He co-wrote, produced, directed and stars in the epic western. (The Warner Bros. film will premiere out of competition at the fest on May 19 en route to a June 28 theatrical release.)

Given the venue’s limited space, those wishing to attend are asked to RSVP via this link by Friday, May 17.

Costner, of course, has been one of Hollywood’s most admired leading men for 40 years, having starred in films such as 1985’s Silverado, 1987’s The Untouchables, 1988’s Bull Durham, 1989’s Field of Dreams, 1990’s Dances with Wolves (which he also directed), 1991’s JFK, 1992’s The Bodyguard, 2000’s Thirteen Days, 2003’s Open Range (which he also directed), 2005’s The Upside of Anger, 2014’s Black or White, 2016’s Hidden Figures and 2020’s Let Him Go, as well as TV programs including Hatfields & McCoys (2012) and Yellowstone (2018-).

Feinberg’s award-winning Awards Chatter podcast, which debuted in 2015, has welcomed more than 500 guests for career-retrospective conversations, including Hollywood A-listers Martin Scorsese, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Barbra Streisand, Daniel Craig, Jennifer Lawrence, Lorne Michaels, Carol Burnett, Jerry Seinfeld, Cate Blanchett, Bono, Penélope Cruz, Will Ferrell, Dolly Parton, Norman Lear, Nicole Kidman, Denzel Washington, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Adam Sandler, Tina Fey, Elton John, Sophia Loren, Jimmy Fallon, Billie Eilish, Tom Hanks, Jane Fonda, Spike Lee, Dua Lipa, Conan O’Brien, Julia Roberts, Robert De Niro, Angelina Jolie, David Letterman, Julianne Moore, Eddie Murphy, Olivia Rodrigo, Al Pacino, Ava DuVernay, Stephen Colbert, Selena Gomez, Jimmy Kimmel, Glenn Close, Jay Leno, Michelle Williams, Michael Douglas and Sydney Sweeney; and non-showbiz guests such as Malala Yousafzai, Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Buzz Aldrin, Gloria Steinem, Kobe Bryant, Fran Lebowitz, José Andrés and Dr. Ruth Westheimer.
