Serves them right I say, for Thornton's original cut was a long epic piece thought to be around three and a half hours in length. A big financial disaster for Columbia Pictures and Miramax Films who lost nearly $40 million on the film. It's a journey that sees acquaintances come and go, love blossom and the harshness of the world become all too real to such young eyes. Plot finds Damon as John Grady Cole, a young cowboy who travels with his best friend, Lacey Rawlings, from Texas across the border into Mexico. Marty Stuart scores the music and Barry Markowitz photographs it. It stars Matt Damon, Penélope Cruz, Henry Thomas & Lucas Black. All the Pretty Horses is directed by Billy Bob Thornton and adapted from Cormac McCarthy's novel of the name name by Ted Tally.
