From Page to Screen: The Best Books Made Into Movies
“Water for Elephants” (2011)
Sara Gruen’s 2006 best-seller Water for Elephants is a cinematic as they come. It boasts all the spectacle that comes with a Depression-era traveling circus (the titular elephants!), an intimate look at morality, a dangerous love triangle, an even more dangerous circus accident and a swoon-inducing romance for the ages. The film adaptation, in theaters April 22, captures all the book’s potential — casting the classically beautiful Reese Witherspoon as the circus’ main (human) attraction, equestrian Marlena Rosenbluth, Inglourious Basterds villain (and best supporting actor Oscar winner) Christoph Waltz as her menacing husband, and Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson as the veterinary student who shows Marlena what love truly is.
