Water for Elephants is based on the acclaimed number-one bestseller, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS presents an epic tale of forbidden love in a magical place filled with adventure, wonder and great danger. Starring Reece Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson and Christoph Waltz.
Arriving in theaters this month is the much anticipated big-screen adaptation of SARA GRUEN’S bes- selling 2006 novel, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS. Set against a circus backdrop in the 1930s, the film tells the story of a young, idealistic veterinary student who runs off to join the Big Top only to fall in love with a woman married to a dangerous man. Directed by FRANCIS LAWRENCE (I AM LEGEND) from a script by RICHARD LaGRAVENESE, the cast includes REESE WITHERSPOON, ROBERT PATTINSON, CHRISTOPH WALTZ and TAI, a 42-year-old elephant.
We recently spoke with WITHERSPOON about her work in the film, and she was profuse in her admiration for co-star PATTINSON.
Here’s an interview with Robert Pattinson in the Brazilian Online Magazine Critivia, where he talks about Water for Elephants and more.
Respectable Robert Pattinson
In Water for Elephants, the actor plays a young veterinary student who will work in a circus, although relieved to be able to sweat on the scene, the vampire Twilight does not forget the air of romantic leading man
Robert is no fool. Wherever you are, the English actor for 24 years invested in the role of romantic hero. It happens with Jacob Jankowski, the protagonist of the film by Francis Lawrence, based on the book by the Canadian Sara Gruen. In this drama, which takes place at a circus in the times of the Great Depression (1929-1939), Robert opposite two actors Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon (as an actor, Johnny & June) and Christoph Waltz (as supporting actor for Bastards Basterds). In this interview, the actor talks about his first love, the hatred that has for photographs and a certain discomfort caused by the hysteria of fans.
PC: What happens to your character in the scene you auditioned with?
LH: It was a scene between Edward and my character, Siobhan, who is the head of the Irish clan – the cousin clan – of vampires.
PC: What was it like working with Robert Pattinson? You are a Broadway baby, so you can spot it: does he have the goods?
LH: Yeah, he does. He’s great. And, he’s really nice and he’s professional and easy to work with. He’s just great

From a dapper black tux to grungy combat boots, Robert Pattinson dons plenty of handsome looks in the upcoming flick, “Water for Elephants.” So, really, who would have guessed that his pièce de résistance on set was none other than 1930s-style underwear!
Yes, that’s right. Period underwear. Rob had to wear them to get in character for “WFE,” and apparently he was a big fan, according to costume designer Jacqueline West.
“He loved that I had period underwear for him,” she told Hollywood Crush recently (no doubt sparking the envy of girls EVERYWHERE). “Yes, and he loved putting that on every morning before he put his costume on, you know, he said that in his trailer, and he said it made him, it transported him to the ’30s. He said he got out of bed feeling like a different person.”
The underpants, along with his other period costumes, helped Rob step into the role of Jacob Jankowski, a vet student who joins the circus during the Great Depression after losing his parents, Jacqueline shared.
“I can see Rob, who is very languid, he’s very modern in his movements and he’s very cool. I could see him sort of kind of become Jacob and become a ’30s young man, who was, you know, gonna work hard to carve an existence in this circus,” she said.
Sorry, we’re still stuck on her description of languid, modern and cool Rob.
Sigh. Okay, now moving on.
Jacqueline also added that Rob, who was “manlier” than she expected (more on that next week!), carried the clothes very well.
“He would wear clothes so beautifully and you would see kind of a transformation, you know. If he put on those World War I combat boots, his work boots, you can see him stand differently. And I could tell, Rob would say, ‘Oh, this really feels right. This feels great.'”
As for whether or not Rob’s undies make a cameo in the film, Jacqueline hasn’t seen the final cut to know, so you’re just gonna have to wait until the movie comes out on April 22 to find out!
Get a first look at the gorgeous new film “Water for Elephants”—while getting your premiere party on at a Michael Kors bash before the show.
Gilt City members are invited to embrace all that glitters during this exclusive April 27 event. As champagne flows and tasty apps get passed, guests will get a first look at the Michael Kors Spring 2 collection. You’ll have a chance to win a gorgeous, just-out Kors handbag or a bottle of his heavenly perfume at the in-store raffle—and (natch) you’ll leave with a gift bag.
After the bash, you’ll head to AMC Westfield Century City for a screening of the highly anticipated new film. Set in the Depression, “Water for Elephants” stars Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz as eccentric members of a B-list traveling circus. (Keep an eye out for the killer period styling: we love Witherspoon’s flapper-style finger-waved hair, slinky silk gowns, and glittering, spotlight-catching circus costumes.)
The story (adapted from Sara Gruen’s bestselling novel) is told from the perspective of Pattinson’s Jacob Jankowski, a veterinarian who joins the ragtag circus and finds redemption in caring for its neglected beasts—especially the big-hearted elephant, Rosie—and in the arms of Marlena.
