Nibley and Kevin Costner during the filming of “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2” in Washington County George • However much money the next installment of Kevin Costner’s “Horizon” franchise makes Utahns who rubbed shoulders with the actor and director during the making of the film say the experience was priceless what stood out about the making of “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2,” was Costner’s kindness to Hollywood stars and extras alike it was singing and dancing with Costner by firelight and listening to him regale the cast about his love for Utah and the state’s moviemaking past Whatever the reason, the Utah actors and others involved in the second chapter of the four-part series, most of which was filmed in Washington County agree that the making of the epic Western defied expectations and was not the same old song and dance a member of a wagon train wending its way west in the movie said it became apparent to the cast early on that they were taking part in something extraordinary He remembers arriving on location for a costume fitting costume designer Lisa Lovaas marched him into a room filled with photos of more than 100 “Horizon” characters in 1860s-vintage outfits and had him try on a whole rack of handmade costumes before choosing the best fit looked in the mirror and there was my great-great grandfather staring back at me,” Nibley said about his ancestor a dentist by trade who made pioneer-prophet Brigham Young’s dentures an Orem resident who played Evie Kettridge on the same wagon train as Nibley said actors typically learn their lines at home and do a quick run-through on the set before filming begins invited all the wagon train cast to spend a week with him rehearsing their lines at a home he was renting north of St They also learned how to ride horses and drive wagons Even the filming went beyond the typical Hollywood feel Purser’s movie sibling in “Horizon,” said Costner also ensured crew members and equipment were not in the actors’ sightlines when filming to help the cast fully immerse themselves in the story “We were looking at the world we were supposed to be in rather than a bunch of crew members,” said Winder Purser remembers her first meeting with the famed actor “When I walked on the set I was so nervous that I was shaking because I had never met a celebrity before,” she said “But he gave me a hug and told me how excited he was to work with me I was shocked how welcoming he was to a Utah actor.” Costner’s kindness was not limited to established stars or actors with speaking roles but also extended to extras directors never deign to talk to extras on set That responsibility falls to the “second-second assistant director,” who is tasked with telling background actors where to stand and what to do But Nibley said Costner often spent an inordinate amount of time with extras giving them the backstory of an upcoming scene talking about their motivation and explaining what he wanted them to do just as “he would do with a Hollywood star.” Nibley remembers standing one day next to Oscar-nominated Kathleen Quinlan and marveling at Costner mingling with the extras ‘Have you ever seen a director work with extras like this before?’ ” Nibley said (Joyce Kelly) Kevin Costner stops by a booth to chat with residents and pick up a free cinnamon roll during the filming of “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2” in Hurricane was Costner’s complete mastery of the material and every character remembers spending the entire day with Costner on set and never seeing him glance at the script Said Nibley: “It’s difficult for directors to hold all the details for a single 90-minute feature film in their head But Kevin was holding four three-hour movies in his head and he knew every detail of every shot that we were working on One of Nibley’s fondest memories occurred during filming on the Santa Clara River on the Shivwits Band of Paiutes’ reservation west of St a 10-year-old Paiute girl visited the set and read a speech formally welcoming the cast and crew to the reservation Costner responded by inviting the crowd of extras on the site many of them children in frontier-era clothes to come forward and stand opposite the Paiute child clad in native dress meeting in friendship and welcoming one another rather than engaging in conflict and fighting,’” Nibley said Purser is impressed by the care Costner took in highlighting women in the second film about the hardships they faced and the husbands and children they lost “We see a lot in the second [movie] about the plight of women and how they were survivors,” the Utah Valley University graduate said “Kevin made it clear that this is an important part of the history that he wanted to share.” Joyce Kelly, sales manager for the Greater Zion Convention and Tourism Office who helped Costner scout locations was impressed by the director’s ability to connect with local residents During filming near a trailhead in Hurricane some residents set up a table emblazoned with a sign “If you build it they will come,” a nod to Costner’s movie “Field of Dreams,” and gave cinnamon rolls to the cast and crew talked with everyone and posed for pictures,” she said which speaks to the kind of person he is.” a bit bored as everyone waited for the crew to set fire to a wagon she and Winder began singing “Utah...This Is the Place.” Standing nearby and clearly amused British actor Ella Hunt asked the pair to turn around and face the light as they sang the state anthem “It took a few seconds for us to realize that Kevin was standing there smiling and laughing at us,” Purser said And he thought it was so sweet that he sang a song while me Naomi and actor Isabelle Fuhrman held hands and danced in a circle around him Costner was sitting under a canopy at his trailer telling the actors about how much he loved Utah and its landscapes “He turned to me and said he wanted to share something with us,” she said. “He then took out a recording device and played ‘Find Your Way,’ a song he and his band and keeping hope alive and your eyes on the horizon that song serves as an anthem for ‘Horizon.’ Being a part of the movie has been a life-changing experience.” The series’s second installment premiered February 7 at the 40th Santa Barbara International Film Festival to mixed reviews. Chapter 2 is expected to debut in theaters later this year, but an exact release has not been announced.

Columbia Wyoming; while finally settling down in Nibley they welcomed six children into their family and taught them to love much Tony taught by example in each of these areas He also cared deeply for those who were less fortunate than himself and had a knack for picking up hitch-hikers and offering them a place to sleep for the night (much to the dismay of Geli and the kids) As a testament to his great judge of character we don’t believe he brought home any serial killers and did maintenance at a variety of companies He loved learning how things worked and could get anything running again if you gave him enough time There just wasn’t any guarantee on how long it would run before it broke down again he could and would work the younger workers to the ground he was still eager to work with his children and prided himself on being “management.” He mastered the skill of sleeping with one eye open he could best any member of the family in a match He loved adding to his joke arsenal by reading joke books and then trying them out on unsuspecting victims He had a particular affinity for elephant jokes there are elephants hiding in the trees in his front yard you haven’t seen them because they are so good at hiding Don’t even ask why their toenails are painted red He and Geli would travel all over supporting their grandchildren in everything from athletics to the arts he often evoked “grandpa rules” which were any number of changes to the game that made the game easier for him to win but his thirst for victory made these changes more blatant and egregious as time went on when his grandchildren start playing a game they ask if we are going to play with “grandpa rules”.  he was known to stop a hymn mid-verse and remind the congregants that the song should be sung energeticallyor with spirit Though his highly trained ears could pick out hymns sung with too much melancholy within seconds they somehow were impervious to the embarrassed moans emanating from our family’s pew he developed the amazing skill of being able to sing an entire song 1/4 of a note too sharp he loved belting out the hymns of the restoration for which we loved him all the more.  At one testimony meeting he stood at the pulpit and energetically declared The gospel is true!” Though such comments embarrassed his teenage children to no end we all grew up with the firm knowledge that our father KNEW the gospel was true Whether it was salvaging a gym floor from a demolished church so he could build a racquetball court in the backyard or dreaming of quitting work so he could become a professional tennis player Tony never let convention stand in the way of his dreams he bought himself a mountain bike so he could ride with his grandchildren Tony shredded the single track of Bear Claw Poppie down in St George with his grandchildren while the rest of us watched through partially covered eyes.  a snowmobile mountain-climbing competition the first time riding a snowmobile (which also resulted in a rollover) an Evel Knievel-esque wreck on a dirt bike (which he was also riding for the first time) It finally took an ultra-aggressive lymphoma Tony was preceded in death by his parents Wallace and Marthane his baby brother Bradley and his daughter-in-law Wendy (Troy) We can guarantee that they had a 4th of July party in heaven for the ages this year He is survived by his precious wife Geli;

The mother-and-son duo played extras in the first installment of the Western film series who works for the tourism office of San Juan County has lived in Monticello for 15 years were extras on the first part of “Horizon.” For both of them it was their first experience on a film set driven by Orion’s interest in participating The mother-and-son duo went to an opening casting call in Moab in summer 2022 because Orion heard about it from a friend “We actually met some other Monticello people that we didn’t know that were out there filming,” Yamamoto-Sparks said She and Orion stayed in Moab in their RV camper for the week of shooting in which they were involved then more layers for filming in the desert “We’re sitting there in the shade of one of the wagons and we were looking at the tag of his jacket We could see really faintly there was a name written or typed onto the tag of the jacket,” Yamamoto-Sparks said a child actor known for his roles in such Western shows as “Little House on the Prairie” and “Bonanza.” They learned this after Googling the name “It was really cool to kind of see that connection,” Yamamoto-Sparks said Yamamoto-Sparks said it was fun to watch her son disconnect from screens and play in the dirt with the other children extras They would play tic-tac-toe in the dirt between shoots Because extras aren’t told too many details about the storyline she said they’re excited to watch the movie not only to see themselves he hand-wrote a letter to Costner to share how he spent the money — buying himself his first ever laptop Yamamoto-Sparks went back to the set after their extra gig was over with the Monument Valley Film Commision She was able to directly hand him her son’s letter it was fun … and that’s kind of the cool thing about them using so many local people,” Yamamoto-Sparks said John Raymer said working on “Horizon” is “one of the proudest moments” of his film career This is a story that’s been forming for over almost 30 years,” Raymer said [and] you’re working for a director that has that amount of passion you can’t help but be proud and passionate as well.” Raymer is originally from upstate New York He’s previously worked on Westerns in Texas “Westerns are kind of a breath of fresh air,” Raymer said sometimes that you’re really not running around a lot There are between six to 10 people on his team and they handle all the electricity needs for the film especially when the film is mostly taking place in the scorching desert “Sometimes it takes all day long to shoot a scene that really only occupies a minute-and-a-half of screen time,” Raymer said So one of the more difficult aspects of exterior work is controlling the sunlight and using the direction of the sunlight to your advantage.” Raymer said shooting at night is his favorite because the lighting can be put up and controlled more easily “A big part of being prepared for any kind of challenge that day is making sure that we need electricity everywhere,” he said Raymer has also worked on the second installment of “Horizon,” and he said despite his years of experience he was nervous before he started his work on the first film was asked by production to source local crews so the incentive money would be available for crews like his (Muro’s first movie as director of photography was the last movie Costner directed Raymer was able to take the reins on directing the lighting “That was one particularly unique part of ‘Horizon’ is that he had faith and trust in me,” Raymer said Sometimes directors of photography like to direct the lighting as well as the camera.” a key makeup artist on Kevin Costner's "Horizon: An American Saga," applies makeup on a cast member Shalyse Lopez is one of the key makeup artists on “Horizon,” and worked on makeup for actresses but now lives in West Jordan — and though she’s been doing the job for 10 years it is her first time doing makeup for a “full Western movie.” “The key makeup artist is kind of like the second-in-command,” Lopez said “We had a rather smaller team for a project key makeup and three makeup artists that were full-time staff.” The makeup department worked collaboratively with the film’s creative team “We work with the creative department in terms of wardrobe and hair to make sure that we’re creating a cohesive look,” Lopez said The “dirt” makeup is something everyone gets in the film but the severity of it depends on what they’re doing in the scene if they’re doing something “rugged,” then there’s more dirt “We really are just trying to make it feel authentic,” she said ‘This is something that I’m going to look back at and tell my grandkids you’re a part of something that’s going to be not only great for film She said Costner’s film team has been cognizant of hiring local talent as they arrived in Utah to film especially the bigger films that come through here but yet they tend to bring in their own people when we have a very strong infrastructure here,” she said “I like to see that films come here also to take advantage of the crews.” (Alex Nibley) Utah actor Alex Nibley took this photo on the set of Kevin Costner's "Horizon: An American Saga," while shooting on the Paiute Indian Reservation Alex Nibley grew up in Utah and said he was a child actor 50 years ago. Over the years, he’s been involved in the local film and television scene, and has also taught filmmaking at Utah Valley University for the past 22 years. “It was very interesting for me, because I had a lot of students and former students who were on the set with me, people that I had trained in my classes,” Nibley said. In “Horizon,” Nibley plays the character of Martin Pine, who is a member of the wagon train that is moving across the county. Nibley says his experience working on “Horizon” was “different from any set I’ve ever worked on before.” One of the reasons it was different, he said, was the intensity of the creative team. “That goes from top to bottom. The people who were putting on your makeup or adjusting your costume,” Nibley said. “There was a feeling on the entire set that everybody felt like they were working on something special.” Nibley said he also enjoyed the integration between the locals and the Hollywood cast and crew. “There was no differentiation. It was a totally integrated cast and crew, and nobody knew really most of the time who was a local hire and who was Hollywood or from Great Britain or New York,” he said. “I was a local hire, but I was playing opposite an Oscar-nominated actress who’s had a 50-year career, Kathleen Quinlan, and I never felt like I was not a complete part of the cast,” Nibley said. Nibley has many memories of working on “Horizon”: Watching Quinlan stay late, even though she wasn’t in the scenes that were filming that day; meeting Indigenous families when they filmed on the Paiute reservation; and training on how to drive a wagon. When Nibley went through his great-grandfather’s memoirs, he learned that he had crossed the country much like the actors in the movie, 175 years ago when he came to Utah. “It gave me a real appreciation for what my ancestors had been through,” Nibley said. Nibley said he also enjoyed observing Costner’s “spontaneous creativity” on set, like when Costner pulled a former student of Nibley’s who was working in the greens department to act for a scene. Nibley said this film tells a story where the “the country itself becomes the main character.” “This is the kind of movie [where] you’re on this set, and you go, ‘Oh, yeah, this is why I wanted to be a filmmaker. This is why it’s not just the job,’ ” Nibley said. “This is something special.” Editor’s note • This story is available to Salt Lake Tribune subscribers only.

In addition to his memories of that bloody day Nibley also recounted many dreams he had of D-Day and the days following “When I was very sick in Claremont I had impressions of the war In one I dreamed vividly of a ship going down with black smoke pouring from it And then I saw it again right next to us off the beach there in Normandy." Amidst the chaos of the beach landing helped him understand why elephants would be mentioned in the Book of Mormon Nibley's dreams and impressions continued after June 6 and then I had one where I was in a foxhole and two tanks started coming across the field I found myself in a foxhole looking out at a field and the scene looked very familiar I remembered the dream of the two tanks coming and I realized I was looking at the same field I had seen in my dream There was a reporter from The Stars and Stripes in the next foxhole In a minute you’re going to see two tanks come across that field and that’s going to decide it for us.'” Sure enough I had dreamed about them right up to that minute but I didn’t know what was going to happen next."
