Here’s a scan of Robert Pattinson & Water for Elephants in Italy’s Best Movie Magazine. You’ll also find the translation of the article below the scan.
Translation:
Robert Pattinson became deeply involved in the drama, Water for Elephants, based on Sara Gruen’s novel . In the film, directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend), Pattinson is an elephant trainer that falls in love with the beautiful Marlena (Reese Witherspoon). Their love affair is interrupted by owner of the circus (Christoph Waltz). It’s strange to see Pattinson in a suite and tie lovingly embraced by an elephant (who’s named Rosie and whom Robert is quite fond of, of course).
The Book: A runaway bestseller, Sara Gruen’s historical novel centers on circus worker Jacob Jankowski and the eclectic cast of characters working for The Benzini Brothers’ Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Gruen wrote the novel in a month, apparently, basing the core of the book on the story of Jacob from the Book of Genesis. The paperback edition hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list in 2007.
The Film: Combine one-part Reese Witherspoon and one-part Robert Pattinson, and a couple of pachyderms, and you may have Pattinson’s most successful book-to-screen outing that isn’t Twilight. Bonus: Fewer screaming girls to contend with. Trailer here.
Rob Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon grace the jacket for the movie tie-in; “Super Diaper Baby 2” is here; and books play a numbers game.
‘Water’ world: On Tuesday, two pretty faces —Robert Pattinson‘s and Reese Witherspoon‘s — will begin gracing the jacket of Water for Elephants as the movie tie-in paperback edition hits stores. The film isn’t in theaters until April 22, but advance publicity has helped boost sales of the 2006 novel about a traveling circus. This week it’s No. 8 on USA TODAY’s Best-Selling Books list. The highest the novel has been is No. 4, in August 2007, after it was first released in paperback. Publisher Algonquin says the star-studded new jacket will have an impact: “I expect we’ll see a huge increase in sales of all available editions, including e-books and audio,” says associate publisher Ina Stern. Meanwhile, the paperback of Gruen’s 2010 novel Ape House will be released April 5.
Francis Lawrence (@Hibbits) tweeted that he had just finished a new Water for Elephants trailer and that it would be coming shortly. We can’t wait to see the new trailer! We loved the first one. See his tweet below.
There are some amazing artists out there that keep making the most amazing wallpapers. We posted a lot of Water for Elephants wallpapers through the months and thought it would be nice to post them again. In preparation for the Water for Elephants premiere 😉
