Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz and Robert Pattinson (Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon) have been cast to star in the period drama “Unbound Captives,” with Madeleine Stowe making her directorial debut. Under the pseudonym of O.C. Humphrey, Stowe teamed up with her husband, actor Brian Benben, to write the script for “Unbound Captives” for herself to star in, in 1993.
Weisz, in the role Stowe would have played, plays a woman whose husband is killed and her two children kidnapped by a Comanche Indian war party in 1859. She is rescued by a frontiersman, played by Jackman. Pattinson will play one of the children.
Gil Netter and Grant Hill will produce “Unbound Captives” with Ashok Amritraj and Hyde Park Entertainment.
