James MarsdenBrokeback, the opera?![]() Back over the summer there were rumors that Brokeback would get a Broadway musical adaptation. Names considered for the main roles? Hugh Jackman and James Marsden. That sounded a bit like wishful thinking. But it looks like Brokeback will indeed be getting the musical treatment — albeit a more highbrow, operatic one. Today's New York Daily News mentions that Brokeback Mountain author Annie Proulx has given the go-ahead for an opera based on her short story. Hmm, wonder if Heath can sing? We already know Jake has the pipes (remember his SNL performance of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going?"). Seriously though, this sounds like a legitimate endeavor with Pulitzer prize winner Charles Wuorinen signed on to compose. I'm not much of an opera fan but I'd sure be tempted to buy tickets for this one. Submitted by on Tue, 2007-09-25 07:59. To Make a Long Story Short ... Nuke clips, Bearforce One, and James Marsden
