Robert Pattinson, Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz join Madeleine Stowe's directorial debut!!

Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz and Robert Pattinson will star in the 19th-century drama Unbound Captives, and Madeleine Stowe will make her directorial debut from a script she cowrote more than 15 years ago, according to Variety.

Stowe originally wrote the script in the early 1990s with her husband Brian Benben (Dream On), but she turned down a multimillion dollar offer from Fox when they wouldnt promise her anything more than a writing credit. Now, shell direct.

Weisz will play the role Stowe once envisioned for herself, a frontier woman whose husband is killed and whose two children are kidnapped. Pattinson will play her son, and Jackman will play the man who comes to her rescue.

I'm really glad she's doing it.She's so passionate about it.And actors like Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz can do no wrong :-)
I'm not a huge fan of Pattinson,though.Maybe his role in his movie will prove me he's more than just a "pretty face".
I love Madeleine.She's truly a brilliant but underrated actress.Hope she's gonna be an impressive director as well.

I wish Madeleine would come out with some news on the film Unbound Captives, it seems this film is up in the air at the moment.
