Who Would You Cast as Ennis in a Sequel?
August7th:
I doubt there will ever be a sequel to Brokeback Mountain and don't really think there should be. But after reading some fan fiction that focuses on Ennis' life after Jack's death, I got to thinking -- who would I cast to play Ennis if one of those stories was filmed?
Tragically, it can't be Heath Ledger. So who else?
The first person that came to my mind was Chris Cooper.
Who else do you think would be a good candidate in this imaginary casting effort?
MsMercury:
Wow, I'd have to give that some serious thought because I can't imagine anyone else playing Ennis.
louisev:
I think Bale could do it. He has the depth to bring out the melancholy nature of his character.
Lynne:
I dunno and I kinda cringe to even contemplate it.
Maybe Edward Norton could pull it off?
serious crayons:
I like the idea of Chris Cooper as "old Ennis"!
If they were going to have a "young Ennis" in the same film, it would get trickier, and harder to think about. I think I'd prefer Christian Bale to Edward Norton. Or how about Ryan Gosling? He's a really good actor.
