For Robert Pattinson, it was the elephant that sealed the deal.
The Twilight star, 24, was on the fence about taking the role of Jacob, a veterinary student who joins a traveling circus in the upcoming Depression-era romantic drama Water for Elephants – until the actor met Tai, his 42-year-old, nearly 9000-lb. costar.
“Rob was non-committal until he saw the elephant,” recalls the film’s animal coordinator Paul ‘Sled’ Reynolds. “After he met Tai, he knew he wanted to do this movie. He absolutely adored that elephant.”
PEOPLE has a first look at some of the film’s rich images – and Pattinson’s near smooch with Tai.
The adaptation of Sara Gruen’s bestselling novel, which arrives in theaters on April 22, tells the story of a love triangle that develops between Jacob, Reese Witherspoon’s Marlena, who is the show’s bottle-blonde star performer, and her husband August, the circus’s abusive ringleader, played by Oscar-winning Inglourious Basterds star Christoph Waltz.
Chemistry Lesson
While it was important to the filmmakers that Pattinson bond with Tai, their chief concern was making sure sparks flew between him and Witherspoon, 34.
“I saw early on that those two had a real on-screen chemistry,” the film’s director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) tells PEOPLE. “There was just this thing that happens between the two of them when they are together as those two characters that was very exciting.”
A Sensitive Guy
Lawrence became convinced that Pattinson could pull off the challenging role of Jacob shortly after a meeting with the British heartthrob to discuss the part.
“When I sat down with Rob, I found that despite his success, there was a real sense of humility with him,” says Lawrence. “I found that he was kind of uncomfortable in his own skin, and maybe even uncomfortable with everything that was happening to him. Rob is a very sensitive guy who very much loves animals.”
Adds Lawrence, “I found that, wow, this guy kind of already is Jacob.”

I have managed to sneak in another update before Christmas, and I’m glad I did – I’ve capped (and watched) Reese’s interview with Chelsea Lately, and it was a great interview! It felt a lot more relaxed than some talk shows do, and was very funny (well, most Reese interviews are funny, I know ). So, 200+ screencaps from the show have been added to Reese-Pics.com for your viewing pleasure!
This will be the last update before Christmas, but I will be back next week (or the week after) with lots more Reese goodies for you to enjoy
As you might know, today is the day Reese’s new movie How Do You Know opens in US cinemas! It’s been a whole 2 years since we last saw Reese herself on the big screen, so it’s an exciting day for Reese fans. In the movie Ms Witherspoon plays Lisa, a professional softball player who has to decide between the two men in her life and what she wants to do with her life next. It sounds like a more grown-up romantic comedy from Reese, but is still sure to show off her usual charm.
Lisa’s athletic ability is the defining passion of her life, having been her focus since early childhood. When she is cut from her team, everything she has ever known is suddenly taken from her. George is a straight-arrow businessman who is accused of a financial crime, even though he’s done nothing wrong. Although he may be headed to jail, George’s honesty, integrity, and unceasing optimism may be his only path to keeping his sanity. George and Lisa meet on the worst day of each of their lives: she has just been cut, and he has just been served. When everything else seems to be falling apart, they will discover what it means to have something wonderful happen.

EDIT: Screencaptures from the trailer have been added to the Gallery, as has the first poster for the film!
As posted about earlier, Miss Reese attended the world premiere of her new movie How Do You Know in Los Angeles last night, and I now have the first batch of photos for you! 48 HQ photos have been added to our Gallery, and there are plenty more to follow. Reese looked super pretty in her Zac Posen cocktail dress with Yves Saint Laurent Trib Too suede pumps, and she posed with her co-stars Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson and Kathryn Hahn, as well as their director James L. Brooks.
There are some gorgeous photos in there, but I have to point out this photo (and the one after it), of Reese being shown the DVD for Overnight Delivery, her first movie with Paul Rudd released back in 1998, and a classic old-school Reese movie! Wonder what she said to reporters when shown the DVD … (If you haven’t seen that movie then I’d definitely recommend it, it’s really funny!).
Be sure to let us know your thoughts on Reese’s look by leaving a comment here!
Stay tuned for more coverage from the premiere tomorrow (all being well), including videos, articles & quotes, and more photos!
Reese Witherspoon is always in the ‘Know’ about her life
You don’t become the queen of romantic comedies without learning a few things about matters of the heart.
Reese Witherspoon, actress and mother of two, is well-versed in the mysteries and mores of love, and she spends hours discussing and debating them with her girlfriends.
“I’m literally the girl who talks constantly about relationships. I hang up with one (friend), and I pick up the phone and call another one. It’s an ongoing dialogue all day long,” she says. “I don’t understand a woman who doesn’t talk about love and relationships.”
She has been through a divorce (from actor Ryan Phillippe) and breakups (most notably with actor Jake Gyllenhaal), but Witherspoon isn’t one to get hung up on past amorous calamities. She views them as life lessons.
“You gotta be glad that you went through them, and you gotta be glad that you learned from them,” says Witherspoon, 34. “You gotta learn what you want.”
And like so many of the romantically challenged, you have to figure out if he’s the one for you. That’s the perplexing question Witherspoon toys with Friday in How Do You Know, a rom-com with the actress playing a past-her-prime softball pro who gets cut from Team USA and finds herself torn between two guys: a self-absorbed jock (Owen Wilson) and a somewhat neurotic businessman (Paul Rudd). But unlike Witherspoon, who exudes certainty and self-assurance, the character of Lisa is a romantic naïf.
“She’s not very good at articulating her feelings. She’s never been in a serious relationship. She’s almost an innocent,” says Witherspoon. “She doesn’t care if (men) call her back if she slept with them. She’s having sex for fun and sex for sport.”
Since my last update yesterday I’ve been capping all the recent How Do You Know TV Spots and clips! Reese looks beautiful, and I’m excited to see the whole film now. I particularly like the awkward yet funny ‘Restaurant’ clip! All of these clips and tv spots have already been posted here, so scroll back through our recent updates to find them.
We also have the first ‘For Your Consideration’ advert (courtesy of awardsdaily.com), asking voters to consider How Do You Know when nominating for the Golden Globe Awards. The Golden Globe nominations are announced tomorrow, so fingers crossed for some recognition for Miss Reese and the movie!
Tonight is the world premiere of How Do You Know, so check back here for the first photos tomorrow! Can’t wait to see what Reese wears and hear her talk about the movie more!
