Richard Davalos as Aron Trask and James Dean as Cal Trask in a pivotal scene.
Lynne:
Wow indeed, John. Thanks for sharing.
I heard the "Kiss me." And I think "Can't here"
But there was something about Dean's voice that made me hear Heath as well, so I guess I have Dean cast as Ennis in Brokeback Mountain. I think it was the mumble about 'wanting <him> to look directly into the camera or sumpin'
Cool find.

You're welcome, Lynne!
Somehow, for me, with the unconscious-yet-naked vibe in the screen test (wow, what a treasure!) I sort of see James having Jack's neediness--and Paul having Ennis's barriers. Interesting to see the two actors as self-conscious, rather nervous men rather than polished, scripted characters--
There's a moment when I thought it looked a bit like Jack and Ennis in the trailer--interesting--
I wonder what other bits of film we might yet find--

Um, Richard Davalos...quick, name something else he has been in!
Versus Paul Newman. Do I sense a casting mistake in this movie? Sigh...

Yep, there's definitely a crackle of electricity there!
