Kevin Costner would make a great politician.
When he fired his best friend, Kevin Reynolds, and took over directing “Waterworld,” he managed to spin it in his favor.
When “The Postman” tanked, it was someone else’s fault. When “Horizon” sank beneath the horizon, again, someone else was to blame.
What about Kevin tried to turn the sacred land in South Dakota that he filmed “Dances with Wolves” on into a casino and hotel project? Oh yeah, that.
Today, Costner says he’s “surprised” his character, John Dutton, allegedly committed suicide on “Yellowstone.” He says he didn’t know anything about it. LOL.
Last year, Costner’s side in the “Yellowstone” promoted the idea that Taylor Sheridan couldn’t write him about because of a “moral exit clause” in his contract. Remember that? No. If people remembered what happened two days ago, they would have voted a lot differently, too.
Sheridan said he wouldn’t do anything untoward to John Dutton. Remember that? Well in June 2023 Sheridan told The Hollywood Reporter: “I don’t do fuck-you car crashes. Whether [Dutton’s fate] inflates [Costner’s] ego or insults is collateral damage that I don’t factor in with regard to storytelling.”
Uh huh. Except now John Dutton has “died” in a fuck you way. Suicide? Killed by his son, Jamie? Or what else? He said in an interview today: “They’re pretty smart people. Maybe it’s a red herring. Who knows? They’re very good. And they’ll figure that out.”
Costner knew exactly how Dutton would be “Killed.” He’s the one saying it’s a red herring, meaning he knows that John Dutton will somehow rise from the grave.
Will all this publicity help the ratings? Or keep fans tuning in? Did Costner come to terms with Sheridan? I’d say yes. But really, everyone, try and remember what was said last week, month, or year ago.
Honest reaction? Good grief!
