Marlena (Water for Elephants) #1: "... the secret itself becomes irrelevant; the fact that you kept it does not."
Welcome to the 1st Marlena Rosenbluth (Water for Elephants) Thread! Cast: "Jacob" - Robert Pattinson "Marlena" - Reese Witherspoon "August" - Christoph Waltz "Old Jacob" - Hal Holbrook "Wade" - Stephen Taylor "Kinko" - Mark Povinelli "Cecil" - E.E. Bell "Lucinda" - Jackie Zane Summary: When Jacob Jankowski (Robert Pattinson), 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 (Reese Witherspoon), the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August (Christoph Waltz), 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. Reese talks Water for Elephants: Follow the film's director on Twitter for filming updates --> Francis Lawrence. See a picture of the beautiful elephant, Tai, who is playing "Rosie" here.

The book is one of my favorites, so I'm kinda nervous they are making it into a movie. With that said, I'm happy Reese is playing Marlena. I think she will really do the character justice. Still not sure about Robert Pattinson as Jacob. It's gonna take me a while to get used to that casting choice.
ETA: I don't know if you're interested in adding this to the first post, but this beautiful elephant, Tai, is playing Rosie. (My favorite character in the book. ) HAVE TRUNK WILL TRAVEL Also, I found this great blog about the movie. ~Water For Elephants – the Film~ Last edited by AmandaB; 05-17-2010 at 10:42 PM |

The more I read about it, the more excited I get! And I fully plan on getting the novel today. I read an earlier draft of the script and it sounds amazing.
Also, Rob talks about his experience with elephants in his interview with Details magazine: Quote:

No problem. The scarf in her hair is super pretty! I think I'm going to adore her wardrobe in this film.
There are good quality pictures of Rob on set, here, if anyone is interested. Last edited by keep the starlight; 05-21-2010 at 03:25 PM |

I think I'm going to love it, too. Her outfit is super cute. I wonder if she'll have to wear a dress at some point and time during the film. I always imagine women in that era to be super classic in their style. She would carry it off brilliantly.
