I have to admit that upon reading the synopsis of this film, I wasn’t very interested. However, now that I have seen the trailer, it is now a movie I am highly anticipating. Robert Pattinson continues to take roles that set him apart from his Twilight roles, and he looks like he has a good shot at having a career after a solid franchise. Reese Witherspoon looks better than I’ve seen her in years, and Christoph Waltz looks like he might show us another award winning performance. The only thing that worries me is the April release. This film looks like Big Fish with less Burton sensibilities, and it looks like something that might appeal to awards voters. So, why is it being released in April?

A film about the worst circus disaster in history? That's something I'm interested in. A love story that takes place in a circus with Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon kissing near a bunch of elephants? I think I'll pass.
read the script. its was pretty good. michael hate to spoil it for you there is only one elephant. yeah there is romance, but its much more then that. characters are redlighted, the disaster is something that doesn't dissapoint, and there are coochie girls that might interest you.
Looks sh*t.
