Cowboy Love


Here's the poster for Ang Lee's adaptation of Annie Proulx's Brokeback Mountain due out this fall. I've been looking forward to this release for many reasons, only one of which is Jake Gyllenhaal. It's a great story, but since it's only about 50 pages it will be very interesting to see how it's turned into a movie. It'll either be amazing or really bad - no in between. But getting a rather explicit (at least in print) gay cowboy love story produced with two A-list actors and an amazing director is quite an accomplishment.

And I love the tagline: Love is a Force of Nature. That would seem to hint that they will not back down the original storyline too much.

Of course the movie has already been retitled "Bareback" Mountain in popular parlance.

I love Annie Proulx! If you haven't read The Shipping News and That Old Ace in the Hole, you should. They are 2 of her best!
