Rachel Weisz bitten by Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson to play Rachel Weisz’s son in “Unbound Captives.” Although Weisz know virtually nothing about Twilight, she was bitten by Robert. ”Meeting him was vampiric. He sucked my blood,” laughed Weisz, remembering their introduction. “Wait, is he the vampire? He is the vampire, right?”
Yes he is, Rachel. And in “Unbound Captives,” Pattinson is eager to portray a teen living in the Western frontier who was kidnapped by Comanche warriors at a young age; Weisz is slated to play the mother on a mission to get her son back. Co-starring alongside Hugh Jackman, Pattinson told us recently that “Captives” offers him a character who “can’t really be more different from Edward,” the leading man of “Twilight.”
“It’s an independent movie, and they are raising the money, so hopefully it’ll happen,” Weisz said of the flick, which will mark the writing and directing debut of veteran actress Madeline Stowe. “I don’t know if it will [be made], but yeah, I’m very excited.
“It’s a great screenplay, and [Pattinson and Jackman] are both great actors,” Weisz added of why she is attached to the film. “I like to work with all kinds of talented people, whatever the age.”
Weisz — who can be seen later this month in director Peter Jackson’s drama “The Lovely Bones” — said another reason she’s eager to work with RPattz is his mystique.
“He wasn’t star-struck. He’s got a whole rebel vibe, right? Yeah, that was his vibe,” she said of their meeting. “He’s kind of iconoclastic. He’s flaunting authority. Yeah, pretty cool.”
Madeleine Stowe makes her directorial debut with this long-gestating period production starring Rachel Weisz as a woman whose two children are kidnapped and husband killed in a skirmish with a Comanche tribe in the 1850s. Hugh Jackman plays a frontiersman who saves her and Twilight’s Robert Pattinson plays her son. Stowe wrote the screenplay with her husband, actor Brian Benben. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
This film is in pre-production, shooting early 2010…but the buzz is already starting thanks to RPattz.
