So, did Madeline Stowe re-work the script?

Just got an Unbound Captives update from Madeleine Stowe. #Globes

Stay tuned! We will update as soon as he does!

Update: Writer/Director/Actress Madeline Stowe talks to Josh Horowitz about Rob and Unbound Captives!

MTV original video has been placed under the cut due to auto-play!

Madeline says they are looking at 2013 and now it is up to Rob if he stays involved. They are considering upping the age of his character since his character was to be 18. She said she met Rob before Twilight and fell in love with him!

Q.You ‘is the latest example of a long list of great actresses who do their best work in years in television.

R. Now there was something that did not is that you can work in both mediums, film and television. There is no stigma. Realistically we all know how difficult it is to find film work for an actress my age. So I stopped working a long time. I focused on a project that I wrote and directed, The Unbound Captives with Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz and Robert Pattinson. Now, my greatest interest is the cinematic narrative, rather than being an actress but I’m having very well with Victoria.

Thank you to Elite Affiliate Twilight Poison for the tip!

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.

AX: When are you shooting your film?

STOWE: This is going to be really hard. [Because] the back nine [have been] picked up, I will literally have a window where we all have to fall in [to be available] at the same time. If not, it will have to wait ‘til next year, because we’ve got to deal with other issues. We have to shoot in Saskatchewan, Canada. It’s a really interesting part of history, 1859 to 1867. I have to say, [the premise] has never been done in a Western . John Toll is my cinematographer. He did LEGENDS OF THE FALL, and Charles Roven who does DARK KNIGHT is my producer, and I’ve got this remarkable crew.

Dear Ted:
Do you think Robert Pattinson has gotten cocky and arrogant, with a “too cool for school” attitude?
—SL

Dear Straight From the Jackman’s Mouth:
Cocky and arrogant? Not particularly. But too cool for school? According to Hugh Jackman, yes.
