Who would you have picked to play Ennis and Jack?

Hmm, that's a tough one..... Bob Dylan? [ ;) ]
Lyle Lovette is a brilliant piece of casting. He's perfect physically, and he can act really well, and he 'gets' the western man thing. I'm in awe!

Well, when they do "Brokeback Mountain: The Musical" ... they've got their cast!
:D

Thinking of musical versions... have we ever heard any more rumblings about the idea of a Brokeback opera? I remember there was some semi-serious discussion about that happening in NYC at some point.
???
Anyway, sorry to stray slightly off topic.
This question is really very interesting! And very hard! It's so difficult to imagine Ennis and Jack looking or sounding any different than Heath and Jake's versions of the characters. I'll keeping thinking about this one and get back to you...

On the basis of Annie Proulx's description, I see someone who looks a lot like Owen Wilson as Ennis, and someone who looks a lot like Vince Vaughan as Jack.

Though I think even Owen and Vince are a bit higher on the hotness scale than Annie's Ennis and Jack. ;)
I was thinking more in the realm of John C. Riley and Tim Blake Nelson.
