Kevin Costner On 'Swing Vote'

Imagine what would happen if the entire presidential election came down to one improperly cast ballot, and the man who owns that vote is a two-bit loser, played by Kevin Costner, who long ago traded his dreams for a drink. That's the premise of the new movie Swing Vote. Kevin Costner speaks to host Andrea Seabrook about the film and his band, Modern West.

"I'm not that too-cool-for-school," said Costner. "Somebody told me my picture is on a billboard on Sunset Blvd., I'm going to go out there with my 1-year-old and take a picture of it!"

swing vote and the power of costner

There's a new giant billboard for a Kevin Costner film right at the 80/101 interchange in SF, the same spot I saw the legendary poster for the Costner-Kutcher Coast Guard buddy movie The Guardian. This must be a prime spot for Costner advertising, probably because bumper-to-bumper traffic reminds people of The Postman. I try to keep abreast of all the latest Costnerian developments. I own (and am right now wearing) a t-shirt for Costner's band, Modern West. I re-watched Robin Hood: Prince of Thi...
