Rob talks about the 3 different directors for the Twilight Saga, some Remember Me, Eclipse and happily Unbound Captives.  Lordy lordy add that to the list of things I can’t wait for – Rob and Hugh Jackman talking comanche to each other.  As for the movie not pandering to any specific audience.  Um sorry Rob it actually is pandering to one type of audience ….  oops did I say that.  Oh and how funny that he thinks Eclipse might end up R rated – Rob is that a hint that the leg hitch scene is a “yes”?

If you’re interested to hear more about Rob’s role in ‘Remember Me’ you HAVE TO read this interview from Risky Biz. Here, he talked ‘in-depth’ about his role in the movie, meeting with Jenny Lumet (the screenwriter) and why he chose to be involved in the project. He also talked about this role in ‘Unbound Captives’ and what it’d be like to play a Comanche. Oh, and of course – he also confirmed that ‘Breaking Dawn’ is going to be made into a movie (hmm…I’m not commenting to that).

Here’s a snippet of the interview:

HR: How did “Remember Me” come about?

Pattinson: I read the script last summer and then met with (director) Allen Coulter and really liked it. It’s quite a simple story but there was something about the character and way he spoke that was very similar to the way I speak. There is a naturalism to the writing and I really felt a connection to it.

THR: What’s the script about?

Pattinson: I read somewhere it was being described as the modern day “Love Story.” It isn’t anything like “Love Story.” It (“Remember Me”) is really hard to describe. It about a 23-year-old guy and knowing someone for six weeks. You don’t just fall in love and say, I’m in love, after six weeks. It’s really a relationship story. It’s very natural and the characters are incredibly real and well scripted. It’s one of the few scripts I’ve read where you finish and realize you didn’t really want it to end. I have no qualms in saying that (writer) Jenny (Lumet) is a genius.

According to an article from ThaindianNews, Unbound Captives, will begin filming at the end of this year on locations in both New Zealand (so so close to us) & New Mexico. The article also mentions that the film’s budget will be $90 million & will be the film’s producer Ashok Amritraj’s biggest venture to date.  Ashok also mentions that the film will be ready for release by the end of 2010.

I am so very excited about this film & cannot wait to see Rob in this role as Phineas. Sounds like it is going to be something very different for him.  Is going to be amazing for sure.

Our affiliate, Pattinson Anonymous has a source who is able to to tell us a bit more on Rob’s role in ‘Unbound Captives’.  They’re asking you to please note that there’s no confirmation from anyone on Rob’s team that he’s signed on for this project, (although Variety is usually accurate with their information).

Here is a short snippet  on Rob’s role in ‘Unbound Captives’.

• As indicated in information published on the internet, Phineas was kidnapped as a child and assimilated in a Comanche tribe.
• Phineas (all descriptions here are of the character at age 17) is described as having long hair and pierced ears, presumably in the 19th-century Comanche style.
• Virtually all of his lines are in Comanche.
• The character’s Comanche name is Tsomo, which means “bead”.
• Yes, he rides a horse…bareback.  He rides quite a bit, actually.

Rob’s IMDb page finally lists Unbound Captives as in “pre-production”.  I see that John Toll has also been confirmed as the cinematographer – now considering he did Legends of the Fall (so he definitely has the epic/western experience) and Braveheart (he won back to back Oscars for both these films – one of only 2 cinematographers to do so) – can things get any more exciting about this film.

I understand that there may also be some confusion about Rob’s role and whether he is the son of Rachel Weisz or Hugh Jackman.  He is definitely playing Rachel’s son and his character’s name is …. 

Don’t be nervous Rob – I promise I won’t reveal any details yet.  Stay tuned.
