Kevin Costners Horizon co-star defends box office disaster: Get over that sh-t

One of Kevin Costner’s “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” co-stars defended the film after it flopped at the box office.Michael Rooker told TMZ on Monday that audiences should see the three-hour movie — the first of a four-part series — because it is “real cinema.”“We ain’t used to that sh-t,” said Rooker, 69.
