'Ride With the Devil' is a
1999 civil war drama directed by
Ang Lee. The film starred
Tobey Maguire,
Jonathan Rhys-Meyers[?] and
folk/
pop singer Jewel. The film was meant to be a summer blockbuster and it cost over US$35,000,000 to produce (a large sum for most
Westerns.) However, it recieved pans and negative press after screenings. It was released on around 140 screens in the
U.K. and made barely over 1,000,000 pounds. It was then released on 8
U.S. screens fetching only $64,000. It immediatley went to
video and
DVD and as of
2003 has yet to turn a profit.
