Fans Rally Behind Kevin Costner to Star in Holiday Movie - Change.org Petition Surge

As excitement for Kevin Costner's upcoming passion project, "#Horizon," grows, admirers of the celebrated actor are starting a touching effort to help him enter a new phase of his famous career: appearing in a holiday film. An online petition on Change.org, started by a group of passionate supporters, has quickly gathered over 3,400 signatures and over 115,300 likes and loves on social media.

Costner expressed his openness to the concept in an exclusive interview with "Extra" Special Correspondent Alecia Davis, saying, "If I do one [Christmas movie], I want it to be classic. That's a challenging one to find. It will be necessary for someone to write something better, and if it can, I will."

Karen Oliver, the petition owner, is spearheading the initiative, which aims to create a story that captures the spirit of the holiday season and goes beyond traditional clichés. She compares it to the timeless spirit of films like "It's A Wonderful Life" and the unexpected charm of "Die Hard," which is a beloved Christmas favorite for many.

Oliver clarifies, "We are not looking for a 'Hallmark' style movie at all. "Rather a movie whose underlying theme is the holiday season and is uplifting narrative like 'It's A Wonderful Life.'"

Comments expressing ardent support for this idea are pouring in from fans who clearly relate to it. "I'm signing because I'm a huge fan, and after a 40 yr career in film with no Christmas movie..... now is the time!!" declares K. Candelori, and P. McClure add "I think it would be wonderful for Mr. Costner to do an inspirational Holiday movie that would help to unite our nation and bring hope and light to the entire world."

The resounding enthusiasm shown by fans on social media sites for Costner to take on this new film project is evident. The popularity of the petition—it has surpassed the 110,000 mark—reflects the public's desire for Costner to make a lasting impression on holiday filmgoers. More than 12,100 TikTok endorsements, over 110,200 Facebook reactions, and more than 3,400 signatures on the petition itself demonstrate the overwhelming amount of support for the campaign.

"Fans of Costner's are looking for a film they can watch every year come the holiday season," says Oliver. "We are void of seeing our favorite actor during that time of the year."

Fans are excited about the prospect of seeing Costner in a celebratory role on screen as they wait for the release of "Horizon: An American Saga," his latest project, and the highly anticipated season 5 premiere of the popular Yellowstone TV series, in which he plays John Dutton. Each signature on the petition is like a ray of hope, expressing the steadfast yearning of Costner's admirers to see their hero shine in a masterwork set over the holidays.
