Water For Elephants is based on the best-selling book of the same name and hits theaters on April 22nd,
2011. Do you think Robert will have better chemistry on-screen with Reese Witherspoon than he does with Kristen Stewart? As a young man, Jacob Jankowski (Robert Pattinson) fatefully encounters a traveling circus just before receiving his veterinary degree. After his parents die, he abandons his studies and joins the circus, meeting Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), August (Christopher Waltz), and Rosie the elephant.
“When Jacob Jankowski, recently orphaned and suddenly adrift, jumps onto a passing train, he enters a world of freaks, drifters, and misfits, a second-rate circus struggling to survive during the Great Depression, making one-night stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her. Water for Elephants is illuminated by a wonderful sense of time and place. It tells a story of a love between two people that overcomes incredible odds in a world in which even love is a luxury that few can afford.”
