ST. GEORGE — The red rocks of rural southern Utah have welcomed three cast members joining Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin Costner on the second installment of his four-part movie series "Horizon: an American Saga."

The new cast members on the Civil War Western film series include Giovanni Ribisi ("Avatar: The Way of Water"), Oscar-nominated Kathleen Quinlan ("Apollo 13") and Glynn Turman ("Ma Rainey's Black Bottom"), according to a news release from "Horizon."

In Washington County, wagon trains and semi trucks full of film props dot the landscape as production is underway this week. Costner has assembled a notable cast for the multifaceted film, which spans 15 years of pre-and post-Civil War expansion and settlement of the American West.

The Western also stars Costner, Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Ella Hunt, Will Patton, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman and Thomas Haden Church.
