CASTING......Casting for the C.T reinactment of Brokeback Mountain...
Becky:
Yeah I am a bit confused too. I don't know if Sheyne wants to play him or what. If you want Celeste you could nominate a husband. I also like David.T's idea about once all of our roles our cast that we should do a subtitles thread and call it a script read through.
Actually I think we should just have on Ennis, one Jack and one of every character otherwise it is too confusing. But the question is who is going to be the only one of each character?
TheStudDuck:
Can I please, please, please be Joe Aguirre!?! ;D
I'm not sure why I want to be Aguirre, but I really, really do. If you give me the part, I promise to throw in various ad-libs about how I want more money. In fact, I will throw in a comment about how I want more money in every single line that I say!
TheStudDuck:
An added comment to my lobbying for the part of Aguirre...
I think I figured out the solution to our problem about who is going to be John Twist. Stay with me on this, it could actually work and it would be really cute and everyone wins. ;D
See, what we do, since John Twist just sits in his little chair and never goes anywhere... we get a dummy and we just put him in the chair and that is our John Twist. Then everything that is said to him is phrased in the form of a question and Ennis and Diane Twist wait through an awkward pause where he just seems like this huge jerk and then carry on the conversation as if he's just an asshole that plays those silent treatment games and/or speaks in his own sort of language of grumbles and facial expressions.
For instance... the scene could play like this...
ENNIS: Do you know where Brokeback Mountain is?
[awkward wait]
ENNIS: So, you thought he was too damn good to be buried in the family plot?
[awkward wait]
ENNIS: So he's going in there, hunh?
[awkward wait]
ENNIS: Well, that's okay, sir. I understand.
So, we could play it like that... or if you want, we could actually just change the ending altogether and let John Twist be dead and Diane Twist gives Ennis the ashes and they have a moment in the kitchen and everything. Tears, tears, tears, cherry cake to go around. Ennis is her newly adopted son and promises to come back every Christmas.
Just some thoughts.

I'm ready before commencement of rehersals too. Watch this:
*walks by*
See? Now who wants to be Elizabeth and walk with me? You might have to practice to keep up with my skills, but I'm sure with some work anyone here could do it!

Even though I know we have at least two professional singers here, I am going to be bold and say I want to be "singer." I think this is probably referring to Mary MacBride, who sang, "No One's Gonna Love You Like Me," while Lureen's love life is openin up and Jack's is shuttin down - I mean while they dance the first time. I want that role, singin that.
I also would like to be Ennis in a scene. Not sure which, maybe the "Old Rose" or the "three hands" scene.
AND I nominate (strongly) both Flashframe777 as Ennis and SpookyRabbit as Jack in the playful shirtless wrestling scene that happens after the second tent scene. And I (strongly) suggest myself for Aguirre - just in that scene. OOhhh!! And I will find me some right strong binoculars (10X42), so I can really get into my part. RRWWAHHFF (what's that British sound again?)
