Regisseur Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; The Ice Storm; Hulk) werkt momenteel aan Brokeback Mountain, een romantische western over twee homosexuele cowboys, gespeeld door Jake Gyllenhaal en Heath Ledger.
Producer James Schamus sprak met de Calgary Sun over deze film en liet weten dat, ondanks de geruchten over expliciete sexscenes, Brokeback Mountain eigenlijk een ouderwetse romantische film is.
[eng]"The film is actually a very, very old-fashioned love story. Ang is fascinated with those moments in life where you're touched by greatness and emotion but social rules and regulations keep you from following it."[/eng]
