Costner himself lobbied for. The Oscar-winning actor, director and producer then decided to shoot his four-part epic Western, titled “Horizon, an American Saga,” in southern Utah, using its redrock country as a stage for depicting the nation’s westward expansion in the years following the Civil War. Costner directs, writes and stars in what has been billed as the crowning achievement in his storied Hollywood career.
The filming and staging activities did not strictly adhere to parameters set by land management agencies, according to internal BLM emails. The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance obtained the communications through a records request and shared them with The Tribune. During and after the filming, BLM personnel were frustrated with the film managers’ apparent failure to adhere to the terms of the permit and misrepresentations about the amount and type of equipment that would be used.
“Many of the areas used for camping and staging were within a reasonable distance from the existing road,” Heaton Jolley said. “However, there was one main staging area that occurred on the BLM/DWR boundary adjacent to the permitted access area that was never identified in their application.” DWR manages dozens of WMAs around the state to protect sensitive habitat for fish, birds and big game. The agency acquired about 450 acres of bottomlands in 1980 to incorporate into the Upper San Rafael River WMA. These bottomlands are the ground Costner’s crews needed to cross to reach less sensitive parts of Fullers Bottom, where an Apache encampment was erected.
What prompted Wood to bring up the damage at Tuesday’s council meeting was The Tribune’s inquiry to Heaton Jolley the day before.
So the media was lying.
Someone got paid.
Tire tracks in the sand OMG! How will the wildlife recover?
