What do you think of the casting for the movie of Water for Elephants?
I think Robert Pattinson is really going to shine in that role. He’s so dedicated. This was a rough-and-tumble shoot, and when I was there on the set, he’d be lying in the dirt for 18 straight takes in a row, and he would nail every single one. He’s a nice guy, and he reads. He always has a book in his hand. My family got cameos. I’m in a scene where Rosie [the elephant] is raiding a produce stand.
Robert Pattinson is up for ‘Hottest Actor’ in the 2010 Toat Film Hotlist awards. Also Rob related is Water For Elephants nominated for ‘Hottest Ticket’ (film you’re most looking forward to seeing).
Launching Films – Film Distributors Assosiationhas the UK release date for Robert Pattinson’s Water For Elephants listed as 22 April 2011. All future release dates however, are subject to change and the schedule is updated weekly.
Also LeRPattzClub sent this info regarding recent Water For Elephants developments:
One our members get us a tip about WFE. We didn’t know which company would distribute the film in France and now we know it’s 20th Century Fox. During the “Congrès des Exploitants” ( a conference during which distributors come to show exhibitors some extracts of their upcoming films) , they apparently show the very first images of Water for Elephants. We don’t know exactly what it was and even if it’s just rush or images from a first version of the film.
Here is the article. I translated it for you
Congrès des Exploitants 2010
The winner from 2009 , 20th Century Fox, started and gathered blockbusters for 2011 such as Narnia 3 to be released in December , Gulliver 3D with Jack Black or Rio,the future successful cartoon in 3D from the creator of the Ice Age which baffled and stressed the rivals ! There were also the very first images of Water For Elephant by Francis Lawrence (Constantine, I am Legend) and also from FA by Black Swan
Author Sara Gruen is on a promo tour for her next book ‘Ape House’ and RobPattzNews went Monday night went she stopped in Seattle and got to ask her this question. She talks about her cameo in the film and what she says to Rob.
There was much curiosity, especially among fans of Robert Pattinson, to know when arriving in Italy Water for Elephants, which also starring Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon. Now we say that the release date is on April 29, 2011, just two weeks after landing in the United States. The information was communicated to us directly today by Fox and all the fans should cheer (especially the fans) to Robert Pattinson, so that should not wait too long before seeing this film. Obviously, there are still many months in late April 2011, one can not exclude a rollover, but when we confirm that the film is scheduled for April 29, 2011.
In the film, Pattinson plays a young veterinarian hired a traveling circus, the Gasoline Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth during the era of the Great Depression. Here you will meet Marlena (Witherspoon), a beautiful headstock married to August, the charismatic but irascible animal trainer (Waltz). Water for Elephants is based on a novel by Sara Gruen and will arrive in theaters April 15, 2011, in Italy April 29, 2011.
“On ‘Water For Elephants,’ every day there would be, like, 50 people [staked out],” he recalled. “We shot in Tennessee for about a week and there would be people camped out in the hallways of our hotel. All day, all night long, it didn’t matter. People were there to try to catch a glimpse. I’m proud of the movie, I’m actually sitting in the cutting room right now.”
Even though filming wrapped at the beginning of August, Francis said he’s not even close to being done with the editing process. “This is only my fourth week of cutting,” he said. “Then I just took a quick two-week vacation, and now I’m cutting. So I’m probably cutting all the way up to Christmas. I think it’s gonna be [a spring release], but it has not been confirmed yet.”
After the poll we did asking you which pic of Robert Pattinson on the set of Water for Elephants was your favorite we were able to narrow it down to three. From these there pics this one came out the big winner. It’s a great pic!
