  • Box Office Bomb: Budget, $57 million. Box office, $18,133,495.
  • Deleted Role: Jesse Plemons' scenes as the young John Grady Cole were completely cut from the film. He had no idea until he actually saw the film with friends and family.
  • Disowned Adaptation: Downplayed. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal in 2009, Cormac Mccarthy stated that he thought the movie could have been better, though he was doubtful that the original, longer cut would have made it better; in fact, he thought making it even shorter might have improved it:
"It could've been better. As it stands today it could be cut and made into a pretty good movie. The director had the notion that he could put the entire book up on the screen. Well, you can't do that. You have to pick out the story that you want to tell and put that on the screen. And so he made this four-hour film and then he found that if he was actually going to get it released, he would have to cut it down to two hours."
