Trivia & production notes
- The Coen brothers wrote the screenplay by having one brother type while the other held the book open flat.
- A teenage runaway character and backstory elements related to Sheriff Bell were removed from the novel during the adaptation.
- Carla Jean Moss's character has a different ending in the film than in the book, showing quiet acceptance rather than falling apart.
- The film's title comes from the opening line of William Butler Yeats's poem 'Sailing to Byzantium.'
- This was the Coen brothers' first straightforward adaptation of a major American novel, as Joel Coen explained their choice by saying 'Why not start with Cormac? Why not start with the best?'
- Cormac McCarthy saw the film during a screening with the Coen brothers and chuckled a couple of times, which Ethan Coen interpreted as approval.
- Josh Brolin initially feared working with minimal dialogue, accustomed to relying on script words to convey character and drama.
- Production was a 50/50 partnership between Miramax Films and Paramount's classics division with a budget of $25 million, with at least half spent in New Mexico.
- The Coen brothers were forced to scrap an entire day of filming when smoke from Paul Thomas Anderson's oil derrick scene for 'There Will Be Blood,' being shot simultaneously in Marfa, ruined potential shots.
- Cinematographer Roger Deakins shot only 250,000 feet of film despite meticulous storyboarding, whereas most productions of that size typically shoot 700,000 to a million feet.
