New BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN footage!

The great Meg over at Wrangling Wranglers stumbled on to this promotional reel from Focus Features website. It has a 15 second look at Brokeback Mountain, as well as short clips from a few other of their major releases, including Pride and Prejudice. The all too brief snippet - though I suppose it will hold me off till the trailer - does show the first image of Anne Hathaway in complete cowgirl apparel - no tiara? - and Heath Ledger as ass kickin' gay cowboy. You know, Focus Features is really the new Miramax. Just as long as they stay away from Lasse Hallstrom and anything too Hallmark-y while continuing to give great filmmakers interesting material, the studio will have a long life. Something else of note regarding the studio, Focus has won an Oscar for screenplay for the past 5 years straight. (Traffic, Gosford Park, The Pianist, Lost In Translation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.)

Go here for clips.
