Amazon has debuted the new trailer for director Francis Lawrence’s adaptation of the best-seller Water for Elephants, starring Reese Witherspoon, Robert Pattinson and Christoph Waltz.
In the April 22 release set during the Great Depression, Jacob, a penniless and recently-orphaned veterinary school student, parlays his expertise with animals into a job with a second-rate traveling circus. He falls in love with Marlena, one of the show’s star performers, but their romance is complicated by Marlena’s husband, the charismatic but unbalanced circus boss.
