Bareback Mountain

I would have to assume that the casting stage of Brokeback Mountain must have taken place at least a year and a half to two years ago. Meaning that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes weren't yet together at that point. How ironic would it be if instead of Michelle Williams they had cast Katie for the role? Talk about method acting, she could have been even MORE believable that Michelle. "Gotta' run Katie, John Travolta and I are just heading over to the Scientology Benefit Dinner, I might not come home tonight, ya know, we'll be drinking, might just grab a motel room or something. See ya in a few days..." Slam. Tears.
