CHEYENNE, Wyoming (AP) -- Fans of "Brokeback Mountain" don't seem to care the movie was actually filmed in Canada.

They want the Wyoming experience.

The Wyoming Business Council's travel and tourism department has received hundreds of calls asking about scenery in the movie, which is based on Pulitzer Prize-winner Annie Proulx's short story about two gay Wyoming cowboys.

"When we tell them it was shot in Canada, they're still interested in Wyoming," said Michell Howard, manager of the council's film, arts and entertainment office. "They don't hang up and call Alberta. They're intrigued in the story."

Wyoming Business Council spokesman Chuck Coon said he hasn't seen a movie generate this much interest in the state during his 15 years with the travel and tourism department.

Brad should have never left Jennifer. She told him that taking a gay role would ruin his career in Hollywood. He was allegedly the front runner for Alexander, but she persuaded him to turn it down.

Good to see that fine, upstanding women named Angelina is broadening his horizons.

So you DO like gay cowboys with bad Tom Petty hairdos. Oh well.

Jealousy doesn't become you pissant

That is Keith Urban, he sings, plays guitar, writes AND produces
Like Sara Evans said, "Never have so many women wanted to be a guitar"

LOL

Jealous? That's funny. Never heard of Pete Urbane, but he looks like a weiner. This is more my idea of what a cowboy looks like.

You can't always judge a book by its cover

BTW his cover is Hot!

And I agree about John Wayne, he was a hottie too!

Thank God for the small mercies in this life.

We've got enough of your lefty nuts up here already - don't bother sending us the fruits.

I believe that shot was from 'Hondo'.

My favorite Duke movie was 'They Were Expendable'... I was always a big, Donna Reed fan too.
