Last week the internet started buzzing (again) about a project called Unbound Captives, thanks to a brief mention of the movie in My San Antonio.
So what was all the fuss about? In the article the movie’s director, Madeleine Stowe, said that Unbound Captives would begin filming as early as next spring.
While at the ranch [in Texas], Stowe came up with the idea to write “a large romantic Western” that was inspired, she said, by stories of the Hill Country in the late 1800s. “I heard about children who were abducted by Comanche Indians and became so acculturated that they had a hard time returning.
“Our ranch had a real history,” she added. “When I lived there, I felt a certain way about Texas that I hadn’t seen filmed yet.”
She’ll start directing The Unbound Captives next year, she said, and already has rounded up the main cast: Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz and Robert Pattinson.
Of course, the mere mention of a movie starring Robert Pattinson tends to get the masses excited but our question is, where will it be filmed?
According to Hollywoodlife.com, their “inside source” said the movie would not be filmed in L.A. And since it is a western, we can most likely rule out any northern filming locations. So what does that leave? Our guess is New Mexico.
When the film was announced a few months ago it was believed that it would be shot in New Mexico, but then the shoot was pushed back and its fate became uncertain. Now that things seem to be back on track, we’d assume New Mexico will win out over other southwestern states (including Texas) due to it’s built in crews and film incentives.
We probably won’t know for sure where the movie will be shot until the end of the year so I guess we’ll all just have to stay tuned!
I really do wonder if this filming stuff is really true and if it is, if the cast is still in tact. I know Hugh Jackman will be filming either “Wolverine” or “Les Miserables” in the Spring – Wolverine” was to be first in the fall and “Les Miserables” in the Spring but recent reports suggest the films may flip-flop filming, but it looks like Hugh is busy in the spring on one of them.
The movie is currently being filmed throughout my neighborhood in Conyers Georgia
The movie with Jackman in Conyers Georgia is “Prisoners” with Jake Gyllenhaal, directed by Denis Viillenauve. Two different movies, not the same.
