Rough is an action-adventure concerning a retired hunter, a female Red Cross employee and a CIA agent searching for priceless jewels in the Indian jungles. Adventure ensues [Moviehole].

The "Twilight" star might be too old for the role now ... but Stowe might be willing to make some changes to accommodate the years that have gone by.

"The character was conceptualized as an 18-year-old," Stowe acknowledged, but when asked if she would be willing to age up the role so »
