The year is 1860 and a turbulent America is on the brink of a civil war. The story tells the volatile, epic tale of Tom, a white frontiersman, raised Comanche and his love for May, a woman whose son and daughter are kidnapped by Indians. Their parallel lives intersect as they battle through a vast and violent landscape, bound together by their deep love and haunted pasts, their willfulness, and a relentless search to find her disappeared children.
“Stowe came up with the idea to write “a large romantic Western” that was inspired, she said, by stories of the Hill Country in the late 1800s. “I heard about children who were abducted by Comanche Indians and became so acculturated that they had a hard time returning.
Our ranch had a real history,” she added. “When I lived there, I felt a certain way about Texas that I hadn’t seen filmed yet.
She’ll start directing The Unbound Captives next year, she said, and already has rounded up the main cast: Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz and Robert Pattinson.” [My emphasis]

Since seeing ‘Remember Me’, many of us have been eagerly waiting to see Rob in another post-’Twilight’ role. Next year, we will have that opportunity in both ‘Water for Elephants’ and ‘Bel Ami’. We’ve chosen to leave off ‘Unbound Captives’ since it hasn’t been filmed yet, and though the role in the rumored screenplay of ‘The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Sinner’ sounds like a fabulous turnabout for him, that just hasn’t been confirmed enough for us to imagine it quite yet.
So, which of Rob’s three upcoming 2011 films are you most looking forward to? Tell us why in the comments!
