Water For Elephants, our March book and April film selection for the Book to Film Club came this weekend. Have you had a chance to check it out yet? I'm really looking forward to seeing it and planning to very soon, I'm so curious about how the casting plays out and I'm actually quite looking forward to seeing the animals. I'm also very curious to see how faithful an adaptation it is. We will know soon! The film adaptation stars Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz, James Frain, Hal Holbrook and Paul Schneider, directed by Francis Lawrence (Constantine, I Am Legend). I'm looking forward to hearing people's thoughts!
