Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson in new Water For Elephants images

This gorgeous new poster for Water For Elephants arrived in the offices of The Fan Carpet today, but this time it has the glamorous Reese Witherspoon on the front leaning on an elephant in her role as Marlena. The second picture we now have is a new still from the film, which depicts a romantic scene between Reese and Robert Pattinson's character Jacob. The images and trailer we now have for this much anticipated film, are conjuring up thoughts of a Moulin Rouge type love story and setting, and its sure to be a beautiful and moving film. Check out the synopsis below for a better insight into the film's story:

“When Jacob Jankowski, 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, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act, who is married to August, 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.”

Water For Elephants will hit UK cinema's on the 22nd of April.
