Auditions for Broken Saddle Mountain

I recently got my hands on some pictures from the final auditions for the prequel to Brokeback Mountain. Supposedly, its based on the forbidden and secretive relationship of four ranch hands and there lives over the years. Tyler Verona is a ex theater major who spent a little time cruising for love in truck stops before he found a fulfilling job breeding horses. Rick Langstor had a delinquent and troublesome childhood, in and out of relationships, before he discovered his desire for a male companion. His cousin, Terd Ferguson, spent most of his youth in the Special Education wing of his schools. He spent his time eating boogers and dreaming about the sultry Michael McDonald. To complete this gay, motley boy band came Thunderlips. A loner for most of his life, he ran into a Tyler in a truck stop in Omaha, Nebraska, where he discovered his desire for the BrokeBack way.

The story is compelling. The movie takes us from a brief glimpse of there backgrounds and develops the underlying companionship between the four. It will definitely bring a tear to anyones eyes. Make sure to watch for it in theaters Fall 2006.
