Mountain of Controversy for new gay-themed film
Gawker: Less gay sex
Kiss Off?
4 June 2004 (StudioBriefing)
Although production has only just begun on the movie Brokeback Mountain, which concerns two cowboys, played by Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, who fall in love, controversy has already arisen over published reports that director Ang Lee intends to delete a scene in which the two actors kiss. In an interview with the Malaysian Star, Gyllenhaal said, "We were all talking about the kissing in the movie just recently. Clearly, it's pretty challenging material, but Ang said two men herding sheep was far more sexual than two men having sex on screen." His remarks were derided on several gay-oriented Internet chat sites. (Gus Van Sant, the director originally attached to the film, had directed Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix, who played male hustlers, in a kissing scene in the 1991 film My Own Private Idaho.)
