"Water For Elephants" Author Sara Gruen Says Robert Pattinson Will Shine In His Role As Jacob
"Water For Elephants" Author Sara Gruen Says Robert Pattinson Will Shine In His Role As Jacob
High praise indeed from Sara!
Author Sara Gruen's widely adored Water for Elephants nearly didn't get published at all. "It didn't fit any genre – people couldn't decide if it was a romance or a murder mystery," she says. "It had an elephant as a main character – and it was set in the world of circuses. Circuses? No one had any idea what to do with it."
Finally, Gruen says, "in the last 15 minutes of possibility," Algonquin Books bought it. The rest, spurred mostly by word of mouth and passionate book-club members, is publishing history: Water for Elephants has sold 3.7 million copies worldwide, and the movie version just finished shooting with Twilight vampire-hunk Robert Pattinson and Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon in the lead roles.
What do you think of the casting for the movie of Water for Elephants?
I think Robert Pattinson is really going to shine in that role. He's so dedicated. This was a rough-and-tumble shoot, and when I was there on the set, he'd be lying in the dirt for 18 straight takes in a row, and he would nail every single one. He's a nice guy, and he reads. He always has a book in his hand. My family got cameos. I'm in a scene where Rosie [the elephant] is raiding a produce stand.

RobpattzNews was lucky enough to be there when author Sara Gruen made a stop in Seattle Monday as part of the promo tour for her latest novel Ape House. Even though she was there to promote her new book of course she got asked about "Water For Elephants".
Here's where she spoke about Rob
After the Q&A ended RobPattzNews got a chance to chat with Sara, and asked her to describe in one word her experience of working with Rob and the cast of Water for Elephants.
Her answer: "The whole experience was surreal.. surreal."

FYI I think I would just about pass out if Rob said "Excuse me m'aam" to me!

"Water For Elephants" Author Sara Gruen Talks About Robert Pattinson & The Film
Were you poking yourself when “Water for Elephants” was contracted to become a movie, and when some little actors by the names of Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon agreed to be in it?
I have to stop and pause and knock on wood right now. The closer it comes to being real, the more superstitious I get. It’s Hollywood. It can all go poof, still. Things are looking as good as they can.
Are you involved with the project at all?
They’re letting us have the whole family in it as a cameo. I think we’re all going to be on in the midway or something. My kids are really excited about that, and I am, too, (Kate: Bet you are, I would too if I was getting to meet Robert Pattinson!) because that sounds like so much fun. I asked (the producers), and they said sure. So we’ll be in the background in a restaurant or on the midway and be a fast thing (on screen), but we’ll know where it is and the kids will be excited.
What do the three kids think now about mom’s career? Did the cinema thing raise your stature in their eyes?
No. I think the Robert Pattinson thing raised the stature of my oldest child in the school because all the girls are crazy about him. (Kate: Not just the girls Sara the women too!) My 9-year-old asks me every time I get back from a book signing if I wrote a new book. He thinks I write a book a day. He has no concept of what I do.
