Contrary to popular belief, there are better things Robert Pattinson could get for his 23rd birthday than a metric assload of fan-made videos, the top trending spot on Twitter or your undying love and rabid adoration. And now that he's one year further away from the teen demo, a new non-Twilight movie role wouldn't be too shabby -- especially given Little Ashes' failure to "dazzle" the critics. (28 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes: ouch. At least he can hope for cult status...) But sure as the Cullens dig plasma, Pattinson has a new gig all lined up.
Pattinson is set to appear alongside Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz in drama Unbound Captives. The period piece is set on the American frontier in the 1850s -- a time when men wrassled mountain lions with their bare hands for kicks (just like Edward Cullen!) and the mere mention of glitter-faced dudes and vampire baseball was cause for lynching.
The story -- written and directed by actress Madeline Stowe -- will follow a woman (Weisz) who goes on the hunt for her two children, who have been kidnapped by warriors of the Comanche tribe. Pattinson will reportedly play one of her kids (although at 23, he's practically middle-aged by old-timey standards). Jackman will star as the frontiersman who helps Weisz on her journey.
According to Variety, Pattinson has been attached to the project since before people were selling his laundry on eBay, Tyra Banks was demanding he bite her on live TV and the general Twilight craziness erupted.
