The two most popular actors of Hollywood Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, who now play together in the movie Quentin Tarantino, at one time renounced the role in the Oscar-winning film "Brokeback Mountain".

This was reported by the director Gus Van Sant, who took up the adaptation of the story "Brokeback Mountain", even before the producers replaced him with Ang Lee, who later received an Oscar for best directing work. However, it is because of the failure with the casting that Van Sant did not withdraw his version of the tape.

Van Stout said that he wanted to film Hollywood stars in the tape, but they all refused to play "the first-ever movie gay western".

On the main roles of cowboy-lovers, the director planned to take Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. When the cinematographer made an offer to them, they refused. The same thing happened with the actors Matt Damon and Ryan Phillip, according to the publication of the Іndie Wire.

"No one agreed to this. When I was working on the film, I felt that he needed famous artists.

But nothing happened, "- complained to Van Sain.

Let's note, the drama "Brokeback Mountain" is based on the story of the same name, in the center of which is the story of two married men, between whom romance begins. In the film, the main characters were played by Heath Letger and Jake Gyllenhaal.
