Between the 80s and 90s, Kevin Costner came to occupy the highest place in the Hollywood firmament and star in the biggest hits.

Its paradigmatic title is dance with wolves. A note from The Hollywood Reporter states that the film seemed destined to fail. But, against those forecasts, the film he starred in, directed and produced raised 424 million, winning seven awards. Oscarincluding best film and director.

At that time, following The Hollywood Reporter's note, Costner became considered “The New American Hero”.

The reality is that the film surprised due to the level of production and visual quality. Furthermore, the story was very human and leads to wonderful landscapes.

The Hollywood Report note points out that that magic was broken in 1995 in Waterworld.

The studio refused. He was sidelined and Costner, according to The Hollywood Reporter, lost his chance at a $45 million payday.
