Madeleine Stowe is so good at being bad on ABC’s “Revenge” she could delay a dream project one more year.

Set to direct her first film — a romantic western called “The Unbound Captives” — Stowe has a brief window of opportunity in the spring to get it done. “We’re dealing with weather issues and everything has to fall right,” she says.

If that doesn’t happen — because she has to keep on shooting the drama — she’ll have to regroup.

Nerve-wracking? Yes, particularly since Stowe left the business to write the screenplay.

“The story really appealed to me,” she says. “It’s a love story about a very specific piece of history.”

Stowe based the screenplay on tales she heard while living on a ranch in Texas. “Comanches were abducting white women and the women didn’t want to come back. It’s set between 1859 and 1867.”

Perplexed about how to write the story’s violence, Stowe called on her husband, actor Brian Benben, to help. “He’s into American Indians, their habits and society. He knew the mechanics, so I asked him to help.”

Naturally, the two had disagreements. “We fought constantly…it was a horror show,” Stowe says with a laugh. “Finally, I’d write something on my own, then he’d write something on his own.”

The script was purchased and Stowe was encouraged to direct. Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz and Robert Pattinson were signed to star. And then? “Revenge” entered the picture.

“I’m a bit of an anomaly,” she explains. “I have a very strange idea and how I want to spin it. It’s a western. No woman has directed one before. So it will be interesting to see how it all works out.”Stowe has hired Oscar-winning cinematographer John Toll to shoot it. The film will be produced by Charles Roven, one of ‘The Dark Knight’s” producers.

“I’ve done the storyboards and I’ve talkd with John. I’m very opinionated, but I know there are many ways to approach it.”

That prep work? It takes place between scenes on “Revenge.”

While her character is scheming, she’s plotting.

“We are dealing at a particular time right now in American history where I think the average American is going to want to see the takedown of the rich,” she says.

It was new to me too?
