Kevin Costner is returning to the Western genre with a new miniseries project at A&E.
The "Dances With Wolves" actor-director is developing a four-hour movie for the cable network.
The untitled project has Costner partnering with producer Armyan Bernstein ("The Hurricane," "Open Range") to tell a post-Civil War story covering a major conflict in the settlement of the West. Costner will executive produce and might direct part of the miniseries.
"Costner understands the Western better than anybody, and he respects the genre," said Tana Nugent Jamieson, the network's senior vp drama programming. "He knows every bit of detail about the West; this is a genre he feels a lot of passion for. It's a perfect fit."
