Hugh Jackman rides again

Hugh Jackman will be back in the saddle again, thanks to actress-turned-filmmaker Madeleine Stowe. According to the showbiz trade paper Variety, Jackman is set to co-star with Rachel Weisz and Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson in Unbound Captives, a Western about a woman whose husband is killed -- and whose two children are kidnapped -- by a Comanche war party in 1859. Jackman -- who rode hard and herded cattle in last year's Australia -- will play a frontiersman who comes to the distressed damsel's aid. Stowe -- whose credits as an actress include the feminist Western Bad Girls -- hopes to start production near the end of the year.
