So when MTV’s Josh Horowitz tweeted that he obtained an Unbound Captives update from Madeleine Stowe today on The Globes red carpet I have to admit I was sceptical. I mean Rob’s said it, and I’ve said it a number of times, Phineas is supposed to be 18 – I doubt very much that Rob could pull off playing an 18 year old now – let alone that it’s being scheduled for 2013. I guess if Madeleine is smart she will do something to ensure Rob’s involved, but Rachel Weisz as his mother? I’m guessing that’s going to be stretching it a bit … I’m not holding my breath for this one, but I’m happy to be proven wrong. Over to you Rob …

“Robert Pattinson is so beloved by “Unbound Captives” producer Madeleine Stowe that she may consider altering a character in the film’s script so that the “Twilight Saga” star can take the role.
MTV News caught up with Stowe on the Golden Globes red carpet and asked her whether there is any chance of RPattz being in the upcoming film. After all, when we last talked to Pattinson, he suggested that he might now be too old for the role.
“The character was conceptualized as an 18-year-old,” Stowe acknowledged. When asked if she would be willing to age up the role so he could still take the part, she said with a laugh, “We might. We might just do that. We’ll see how it all falls.”
It wasn’t just the “Twilight” phenomenon that is causing Stowe to be willing to jump through hoops for Pattinson. She explained that she met him before he joined the first “Twilight” film and “fell deeply in love with him” then.
Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz are also currently attached to the project. In fact, Jackman recently told MTV News that it’s “one of the best scripts I’ve read in a long time.”
With Pattinson’s commitment to “Cosmopolis” over with, he seemingly has an open slate ahead of him. Stowe said that Pattinson’s decision to come onboard “Unbound Captives” is strictly in his camp.
“It’s going to be sort of up to Robert. We’re looking at 2013 [for a release date] right now,” Stowe said.”
Thanks to pattinsonlife for the YT version.
Wow. Madeleine is keen. Not that I blame her one little bit. I fact, I totally understand. I will eagerly wait to see what Rob’s decides.
She must really want Rob involved if she is willing to change the script for it!!!! Time will tell I suppose. I tend to agree with you though Maria, I think that ship may have sailed already but you just never know.
Agree girls, time will tell. Thanks for posting Maria. 🙂
I still love the idea of Rob and Hugh on screen together. Interested to see what happens with this one.
