Robert Pattinson has signed onto his first high-profile movie since joining the Twilight saga franchise and becoming a mega-superstar.
In Unbound Captives, he will star as Rachel Weisz’s son in the 1859 American frontier. After his father is murdered, he gets kidnapped, and a frontiersman (Hugh Jackman) comes to Weisz’s aid to help stage a rescue.
In other words, it sounds like it could be a really well-done adventure flick starring three extremely attractive people.
The screenplay is a pet project of actress Madeline Stowe (12 Monkeys), who wrote it and will direct. In order to retain creative control, she reportedly turned down a five million dollar offer that would’ve had Ridley Scott directing and Russell Crowe starring.
