Gilda Radner was attempted to be portrayed as a silly character by the 'Horizon' star in a new film.

This year, Ella Hunt, a star on the "Horizon" show, spent time with two different icons in two different ways.

In theaters now, the British actress is starring in the first part of Kevin Costner's Western epic. Meanwhile, she was also preparing for her role as Gilda Radner in "SNL 1975."

She told Planet Chronicle Digital that she had a wonderful four months, spent time at home with her cats, and tried to copy the spirit of Gilda by watching funny videos of her.

She shared that she had delightful talks with her friends and tried to be playful.

The film portrays the premiere episode of "Saturday Night Live" on October 11, 1975, which is nearly 50 years ago, with Hunt playing the role of Radner.

Although no release date has been announced, Hunt stated, "We have completed filming and it is now stored."

Gilda Radner's iconic role on SNL is being taken on by Ella Hunt in the upcoming film "Horizon."

Jason Reitman, who co-wrote the script with Gil Kenan, directed the film and cast both up-and-coming actors and established stars to portray the historic event.

Dylan O'Brien portrays Dan Akroyd, Lamorne Morris embodies Garrett Morris, Cory Michael Smith portrays Chevy Chase, Kim Matula portrays Jane Curtin, and Matt Wood portrays John Belushi in the film.

Chevy Chase's ex-wife, Jacqueline Carlin, is portrayed by Kaia Gerber on the series, while Cooper Hoffman, son of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, plays NBC exec Dick Ebersol.

Radner was a cast member on "SNL" for the first five seasons, where he portrayed iconic characters such as Roseanne Roseannadanna, Lisa Loopner, and Baba Wawa, a spoof of Barbara Walters.

In 1989, at the age of 42, the comedian passed away from ovarian cancer, with her second husband, Gene Wilder, present.

Juliette Chesney, portrayed by Hunt, was a significant character in "Horizon" who embarked on a westward journey during the pre- and post-Civil War era.

The woman, 26 years old, found it fascinating to read the diaries of women who traveled west on the Oregon trail. Their journeys were extraordinary, and their voices were strangely familiar. Despite the struggles and boredom of the journey, the women's diaries provided insight into the things they had to do on the trail.

She continued, observing, "Women gave birth on the trail and took care of small children while finding ways to cook with limited supplies."

In the film series, which consists of four parts, Dickinson collaborated closely with Costner while portraying her character.

I collaborated with Kevin to chart out Juliette's transformation in the movies, as she undergoes significant changes, particularly between the first and second films. It was a meaningful experience for me to portray such a character and develop her with Kevin.

"Horizon: An American Saga-Chapter 2" is set for release on August 16, following the current screening of "Chapter 1" in theaters.

In 2025, Costner will release a new project on FOX Nation, following his previous hosting of "Yellowstone: One Fifty," which delves into the history of the national park.
