Set mostly in the 1930s, Water for Elephants—based on the best-seller by Sara Gruen—stars Robert Pattinson as veterinary student Jacob, who quits school after a family tragedy, decides to ride the rails and unwittingly jumps a circus train. There he finds ringleader August, played by Oscar winner Christoph Waltz, and falls for his wife, Marlena, played by a pin-curled Reese Witherspoon.

Nothing says "I mean business" like an assertive stance and a backless carney costume.
The elephants might be getting water, but it looks like the humans get something with a little more kick to it.
Sometimes elephants just get it...in ways humans can't. Rob knows this.
Question: Are there severe consequences at hand for the universe when two ridiculously good-looking people gaze deeply into each others' eyes?
Now that is some on-set chemistry between actors.
