...That RPatz may be taking the lead role in the film adaptation of Sara Gruen's Water for Elephants. 
I read the amazingly-researched tome over a year ago, and was completely mesmerized by the dramatic tale of a Cornell vet-school student who joins a circus after suffering a horrific family tragedy. Reese Witherspoon has already signed on as the beautiful circus performer, Marlena, and Sean Penn is mulling the role of the twisted animal trainer. A promising cast, me thinks.
I'm no circus or (heaven forbid!) clown fan, but if you haven't read WFE, get to it, and get ready to anticipate seeing Pattinson in the film almost as much as you look forward to seeing his sparkly-skinned self in the Twilight series.
I'm a decorator, wife, and busy mom of three. I believe in elevating the average space, and bridging the great design divide. I love homes, and aspire beyond builder-grade blah. This blog chronicles our own home projects, what inspires me, and sometimes, just what's on my design-track mind. Taking ordinary homes to higher levels is my little happy place.

Very interesting! I loved that book and think it would be an amazing movie with that cast.
Interesting! I started, but never finished that book-- maybe I should pick it up again!
I just got goosebumps! This is AMAZING news! I just finished the book on Monday and it was SO good... RPattz will be incredible in this role. I can't say enough of how much I loved this book... even though I finished it a couple days ago my mind keeps going over the story again and again!
Thanks for the heads up!

Loved the book. I hope they stay true to the story.
I've never read this book. Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm not really a fan of his (well, not in Twilight anyway) but I do LOVE Water for Elephants! It's one of my favorite books and I couldn't be more excited to see it made into a movie!
I LOVED Water for Elephants - so happy that they are making it into a film.
ooh I have to read it!
I've also read the book. that would be interesting
I would watch anything he is in over and over- hottieeee!
I have been wanting to read this, now this gives me more of a reason!
Thanks for the thumbs up. The story isn't about animal cruelty is it. I can't take it - can't read about it or see it. That's why I live far away from the maddening crowd.
oh how interesting! I've not read it.. I forget what I was nervous about possibly being in there, but perhaps the push I need to check it out!
I've given you a Sunshine Award (I thought so appropriate given your Blog name). :-) Hope all is well.
This book has been sitting in my "to read" pile for ages now...I need to get to it before the movie comes out!
