A Couple Waiting to Happen?

Heath Ledger was considered for the part of Alexander in Oliver Stone's film, instead it went to Colin Farrell. Heath went on to Brokeback fame and, of course, most movie buffs are aware of the travails of Alexander the Great Poofter or not so poofter as the edited cut may be. Mr. Farrell also gave the world his sensitive portrayal in Home At the End of the World. Now it seems that Mr. Ledger is slated to replace him in the Bob Dylan biographical film.

Columnist Roger Friedman says: "The reason for Farrell's departure is unknown."

Both Ledger and Farrell seem to be of the same ilk, viz. a very fine ilk, a very fine talented ilk that has caught the imagination of filmmakers and the viewing public alike. Have they ever been in the same room? It seems that their careers overlap in more than one instance and it also seems that if the imagination were to be captured in any other ways, these guys should capture it together somehow someway.
