No Costner For Dances With Wolves Sequel

By Josh Tyler: 2007-11-02 16:29:54

Yesterday the news broke here that a sequel to Dances With Wolves called The Holy Road was going into production. Kevin Costner, who directed and starred in the first film, was already out as director with Simon Wincer hired to helm Dances 2. But what everyone wondered was whether Costner might be back to star in the film as Dunbar/Dances?

The answer to that question is no. We contacted Costner’s representation today, and were informed by his publicist Arnold Robinson that he’s out. Mr. Robinson told us quite plainly, “Mr. Costner is not involved in this project.” It doesn’t get much clearer than that.

It also doesn’t get much more disappointing than that. Word is there’s a huge part of Costner’s character in the movie. The book it’s based on begins 10 years after Dances with Wolves, and finds Costner’s Dunbar and his family now completely integrated into Comanche life. The movie is about him, and if they’re making a sequel we’ll have to watch some other actor attempt to be Kevin Costner. No thanks.

Making a sequel to Dances with Wolves is a dicey proposition to begin with, but doing it without any involvement at all from Costner makes it an instant disaster. The Holy Road is a road to nowhere as long as Kevin Costner isn’t part of it.

TO ME DANCES WITH WOLVES WAS AN AWESOME MOVIE AND I AGREE KEVIN COSTNER SHOULD BE APART OF THE SEQUAL EVEN IF ITS FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND WHAT IS THIS ABOUT COMANCHES, THE MOVIE WAS BASED ON THE LAKOTA'S AND STILL SHOULD BE BASED ON THE LAKOTA'S. IF YOU CHANGE IT TO ANOTHER TRIBE KNOWING THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WATCHED IT BECAUSE OF IT BEING BASED ON THE LAKOTA'S WOULD NOT ONLY ANGER PEOPLE BUT ALSO DISAPPOINT THEM AND ISN'T MAKING MOVIES SOMETHING TO PLEASE THE PEOPLE. IF YOU DO THE SEQUAL BASED ON THE COMANCHES I FOR ONE WILL NOT BE WATCHING IT. YOUR SEQUAL ONCE AGAIN NEEDS TO RESUME WHERE IT LEFT OFF AND THATS WITH JOHN DUNBAR AND HIS MATE LEAVING THE LAKOTA'S AND ONE DAY THEY SHOULD RETURN TO THEM. THEY DIDN'T CHANGE MAN CALLED HORSE, EVEN IN THE 3RD MOVIE RICHARD HARRIS WAS IN IT EVEN IF IT WAS FOR A LITTLE WHILE. AND THEY DIDN'T CHANGE THE TTRIBE THERE EITHER, I REST MY CASE.

OK, the tribe that JD/Dances was involved with was the Lakota (Souix). so what is this about Comanches?

Costner needs this part, and I was hoping all of the major characters would return, Cosnter, Greene and Mcdonnell.
