We have here the international trailer (New Zealand) for Water for Elephants. Directed by Francis Lawrence from Sara Gruen’s bestselling novel of the same name. This era drama features a notable cast that includes Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz, James Frain, Hal Holbrook and Paul Schneider.  

The story presents an unexpected romance in a uniquely compelling setting. Veterinary school student Jacob (Pattinson) meets and falls in love with Marlena (Witherspoon), a star performer in a circus of a bygone era.  

They discover beauty amidst the world of the Big Top, and come together through their compassion for a special elephant. Against all odds — including the wrath of Marlena’s charismatic but dangerous husband, August (Waltz) — Jacob and Marlena find lifelong love.

Water for Elephants is a visual masterpiece. I will definitely be in the movie theater when this movie opens.

The movie opens April 15, 2010.
