'Water For Elephants' Trailer: New Pattinson, Witherspoon Preview (VIDEO)

The circus like you've never seen it before: sexy.

A new trailer for the upcoming film, "Water For Elephants," has hit the web, notching up the steam and teasing viewers even more to the passionate affair between stars Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon. We get a quick preview of love scenes -- which the pair talked about here -- and oh, even learn more about the story.

If you haven't read the best selling book on which it's based, here are the spoiler free basics: Pattinson plays a student whose parents tragically die. He runs away from home -- which is now empty -- looking for a new life, and finds work in a traveling circus run by Christoph Waltz's character. The two become friends at first. Hint: Reese has said Rob is very handsome.

Well, you can watch for the rest.

Looks bad.

They are both unattractive and have ZERO chemistry.

I disagree. I think they have fantastic chemistry in the trailer. I'm pleasantly surprised because I thought they wouldn't. So happy about that. I hope it translates well in the movie too. :D

I think for once the casting may be right on. Rob Pattinson is a great choice and it looks as though Reese Witherspoon may rise to the role. The trailer definitely got my attention.The book was endearing and it looks as though the film will be too.

This is a GREAT book...I dont really like Rod P. as an actor so I probably wont see it..but then again Reese W. is one of my favorites...and, like I said, the book was phenomenal--I recommend it to everyone

It looks a little cliche.

The book was amazing but the casting is dismal.. except for Waltz which is brilliant. I will hope for the best.. if it was rated R then the coochie tent, masturbating clown, and brutality of the book would have been left in but they wanted to pander a bit to the twilight crowd. Which means they will make the character August even less sympathetic to viewers which is what made the book so amazing. Aw well.. I guess watering down what makes a book great is to be expected these days.

I don't think they are going for the Twilight crowd AT ALL. But, the screenplay very well may be "watered down."

I feel the same way. Loved the book, love Waltz, not crazy about Reese Witherspoon or that Twilight kid.

I can't stand that Resse woman, I bet she's a republican.

She does seem very rigid.
