Round-Up Of Reviews About Robert Pattinson's "Water For Elephants" Trailer

So we've seen the trailer for Robert Pattinson's "Water For Elephants" and we saw earlier what MTV thought about it so what are the other reviews of the trailer?

Well here's a little round-up. If you want to see the full reviews click on each link to go to the websites.



First up is EW.com who said

"Robert Pattinson looks like a man in the adaptation of Sara Gruen’s best-seller Water for Elephants, acting opposite Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz."
AND
"The finest compliment you can give a trailer for an adaptation is that it makes you want to read the book. This one does it for me"

The LATimes says

"We like the langorous, moody tone, though it's nearly impossible to judge from the trailer if Pattinson has any acting skills beyond that longing gaze thing. It's also mildly difficult to believe the 34-year-old Witherspoon could truly be wooed by a young man a decade her junior,(Kate: I beg to differ!) but that's a conceit we think we'd be able to get over."
(Kate: I'm kind of shocked that this was written by a woman)

Where is Robert Pattinson's Bel-Ami Mustache?

From VanityFair.com

Like many reluctant heartthrobs, Robert Pattinson is torn between his desire to be taken seriously as an actor and his desire to still look hot. (Kate: I don't think he's torn. He's hot no matter what. Ooh I'm a poet and didn't know it. Back to Rob) Recently leaked images from the Budapest set of Bel-Ami, based on the 19th-century French novel by Guy de Maupassant, show Pattinson looking dandyish in a top hat and tails as the womanizing social climber Georges Duroy. In almost every way, Pattinson looks the part. (Kate: Yes he does) Duroy is described in the book as “tall, well-built, fair, with blue eyes, a curled mustache, hair naturally wavy… he recalled the hero of the popular romances.” Anything missing? That’s right: the mustache. Duroy’s luxuriant lip-hair is his most distinctive feature, appearing as early as the second sentence:

After changing his five-franc piece Georges Duroy left the
restaurant. He twisted his mustache in military style and cast a
rapid, sweeping glance upon the diners.

The many subsequent mentions of the mustache make it clear that it is Duroy’s most expressive feature as well:

• On reaching the second floor, he saw another mirror, and once more
slackened his pace to look at himself. He likewise paused before the
third glass, twirled his mustache, took off his hat to arrange his
hair, and murmured half aloud, a habit of his: “Hall mirrors are
most convenient.”

• At first he did not reply; a smile lurked beneath his mustache; then
he murmured: “I am your slave.” (Kate: Oh God, if Rob says that line in the movie, I will be dead)

• Madeleine cast down her eyes; her cheeks were pale. Georges
nervously twisted his mustache.

• He seated himself, crossed his legs and began to twist the ends of
his mustache, as was his custom when annoyed, uneasy, or pondering
over a weighty question.

There is even a sensual description of the mustache in the original French that is strangely shaved off in the English editions. Here’s a rough translation:

• He spoke easily, with charm in his voice, much grace in his eyes, and irresistible seduction in his mustache. It was tousled on his lip, curled, pretty, blonde with red highlights and lighter shades in the spiky hairs on the ends.

Is there a no-mustache clause in Pattinson’s contract? Do his managers feel that a Pringles-guy ‘stache (Kate: giggle) would forever alienate him from the Twilight set, who prefer him looking forever adolescent? Hopefully the filmmakers will add it in post-production.
