Could ten men do this?

Absolutely ten actors could, providing they were strong actors. I don't think the film is impressive in the fact that they're women, but in thier emotion & a sense of yearning for a time past. My list (off the top of my head so I'll accept any other variations!) would be: John Cusack, Paul Giamatti, Peter Sarsgaard, Bill Murray, Tim Robbins, Kevin Spacey, Heath Ledger, Jeremy Northam, Tobey Maguire & Jim Carrey. I think they could handle emotional monologues well and have each shown in films a certain atmospheric presence.

"Why? I'll tell you why. Because a fruit cart, A STINKING FRUIT CART, killed my pa!"

I think there's no problem in finding 10 actors comfortable with doing monologues in one take. Nor is there a problem in finding 10 really skilled actors who would perform monologues about the women in their pasts.

The questions I have concern the angle of the material and the nature of the project. Consider this:

Ten Tiny Love Stories has a screenplay written by a man but performed by women. Wouldn't it be intriguing to have a female screenwriter/director create the material for the men? After all, turnabout is fair play. What would this project look like with, say, Nicole Holofcener (Lovely & Amazing), Jill Sprecher (13 Conversations about One Thing), Nora Ephron, or Elaine May attached to it?

FLM magazine ran an article by Rodrigo Garcia after Nine Lives came out, and in it he said that people often ask him why he chooses to make films about female characters. Here's a quotation from that article:

"I don't make movies about women, I make movies about things that interest me, using female characters. Jason Isaacs, who plays Damian in Nine Lives, went further than I had dared to go. 'You write about women,' he said to me the day we met, 'because it enables you to write about emotional subjects emotionally.' He's right. I'm a wimp, like most men, and I don't want to be naked on stage if I don't have to be. Hidden behind these women I can explore the stuff that scares me: relationships we can't escape; the dependence on loved ones; the caretaking of loved ones; the expectations of loved ones; the loss of loved ones."

There's a lot more there, including Garcia's thoughts on no fewer than 15 (!) films in which female characters play a major role.

While it is a relief to find a director/writer with an active interest in writing many parts for women, I'm all for the male variation on Ten Tiny Love Stories, and I submit the following possibilities for casting, including some of the men with whom Garcia has already worked:

Joe Mantegna
Jason Isaacs
William Fichtner
Stephen Dillane
Ian McShane
Aidan Quinn
Miguel Sandoval
Forest Whitaker
Stephen Rea
Harvey Keitel

Of course, there are simply legions of well-known actors who belong in a project like this, and some of them are named above (e.g., Spacey, Branagh, Irons, Cusack et al).
