Hathaway & Quaid Join Ang Lee's 'Brokeback Mountain'

[Wednesday, March 31st, 2004]
Anne Hathaway and Randy Quaid have signed up for Ang Lee's cowboy love story Brokeback Mountain, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The project, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, was adapted by McMurtry and Ossana from a short story by 'The Shipping News' author E. Annie Proulx, and centers on two men (Ledger and Gyllenhaal) who meet one summer as sheepherders in Wyoming and form a bond and love that spans 20 years.

Hathaway plays the strong-willed ex-rodeo queen wife of Gyllenhaal's character, while Quaid will play the hard-bitten foreman who employs the two cowboys. Michelle Williams has already been cast as the wife of Ledger's character.
