Australian audiences flocked to see Twilight star Robert Pattinson's romantic period drama Water for Elephants over the weekend, keeping Australian star Chris Hemsworth from hammering out a number one spot for Thor.
The $2.6 million in ticket sales for Water for Elephants also drove Fast and Furious 5 out of the top spot at the box office, dropping to a non-podium fourth placing behind Source Code, which was steady in the number three position.
The Kate Hudson/Ginnifer Goodwin romantic comedy Something Borrowed slipped one place to number five, while the animated Little Red Riding Hood sequel Hoodwinked Too! gained one place to number six.
In their first week out the Rose Byrne horror movie Insidious and the James Franco comedy Your Highness debuted at number six and seven respectively, while the modern remake of Arthur continues to slide out of the top ten, rounded out by animation Rio.

Statement from Twentieth Century Fox...


In a statement, Fox says:
“A central message of  Water for Elephants is the condemnation of cruelty towards animals. Twentieth Century Fox feels strongly that we have taken every step to ensure that the film, while portraying the perception of animal abuse (often through digital effects), held in utmost importance the proper care and humane treatment of all animals involved in the production.  Fox and the filmmakers behind Water for Elephants are disturbed and saddened by the video being circulated that purportedly shows the elephant Tai being mistreated several years ago. We are strongly opposed to violence against animals, humans or any creatures.
“Fox is compelled to point out that this video was NOT taken during the training for, or production of, our film, and neither Tai nor any other animal performer in the film was harmed in any way during the making of this film.  In fact, the organization circulating this video claims it was taken in 2005, which was at least five years before the movie went into production and at least a year before the book on which the movie is based was even published. Moreover, a representative from the American Humane Association was on set and monitored every instance in which animals were used and can confirm that no animals, including Tai, were mistreated in any way," the statement concludes.

NEW Rob, Reese and Christoph Interview with NRJ12 (France)


Christoph: Ladies and gentelmen, there's a movie...

NRJ: There's not just one but a whole load. It's called le mag ciné and it starts now.

Vin: I'm happy.

Rob: Featured in this magazine...

Small French course for the Hollywood celebrities promoting in our lovely country.

Vin: Incredible!

It's neither for the pretty girls or the good wine that they're visiting us, right, Rob?

Rob: *laughs*

New movies will be talked about as well as the new dvds out this week.

[Go to 4:04.]

The movie of the week is without any doubt Water For Elephants. A romantic tale set during the Depression in a circus. We can find the beautiful Robert Pattinson hired in a circus troop, who's going to fall in love with the captivating star of the show, Reese Witherspoon, who's promised to the head of the circus, played by Christoph Waltz.
A dangerous love triangle.

Rob: Once upon a time, there was a boy who loved a girl ... who loved. Why is my French accent so bad now?

NRJ: Oh it's not that bad, Rob. Three talented actors, all reunited under a big top, surrounding the star of the circus, an elephant.

Reese: We all tried to be her friend. She was super, she was amazing. I worked with her for five months to practise our routine.

In the movie, Rob is allowed to kiss Reese. We took that chance to give us a lesson on movie kisses.

Rob: Love scenes where we kiss feel easy to me. There's really only one way to do it. You can just do your thing. It sounds like I do porn, you know I do it and that's it. *laughs*

During the casting process, Robert Pattinson was in competition with Channing Tatum and Emile Hirsch. Sean Penn was supposed to play August Rosenbluth, the role went to Christoph Waltz. After Scarlett Johansson turned down the role of Marlena, it's Reese Witherspoon, as a big fan of the book, who decided to join the adventure.

Reese: This sort of work is enjoyable. And I'm talking about the artistic and physical work that doesn't have such a big place in Hollywood anymore. Everything is CGIed now.

Christoph: Someone asked me in Germany the three main reasons why young people should go see this movie. Because it's a tale, a classic. And that's the main reason.

NRJ: A trinity of actors for a story that will make you hold your breath for two hours. If for you the three ingredients of a good movie are, the casting, the love story and a beautiful scenery thenWater For Elephants is a smashing hit.

Rob's Interview on M6 (France) + Translation


Translation

Water For Elephants, it's the title of this huge romantic story, coming out tomorrow on the big screen. As the principal protagonists, Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson, the hero of the Twilight saga who still brings out crowds. He was welcomes by hundreds of fans at the Paris Premiere.

Wherever he goes, it's the same, Robert Pattinson causes hysteria at the premiere of his latest movie, Water For Elephants.

Rob: That was crazy. That was the biggest and most incredible we had on this international tour.

The audience, especially the female one worship him since his vampire role in the Twilight saga. Water For Elephants should make them melt again, with another romantic role. An impossible love story set in the 1930s.

Rob: It must be my thing. It's so weird because in real life, I'm not really romantic. I'm just a normal. I'm not that sensitive to things.

It's true that sometimes he can border on rudeness when he reveals that on the set, he only had eyes for the female elephant. The other star of this movie.

Rob: She's one of the nicest women I've ever met.

Robert Pattinson has an excuse, he loves animals, and since the movie is set in a circus he met more than one. Including a lion for an impressive scene where he gets bitten by it.

Rob: I was just about to put my arm inside the cage when the lion's trainer asked us if my fake arm was on me. When we said yes, he told us the lion is trained to bite and drag the limb inside the cage. I said: 'What?' It was literally 2 seconds before I did it. It was terrifying.

Everybody stays calm, Robert Pattinson wasn't harmed. The lion and the others animals as well.

VIDEO: Rob’s interview on JT France 2






Translation of part of the interview


* Paris is one of his favorite city.

* He didn't have time to visit

* They asked him about the royal wedding. How did he feel about it? Does he think it's important?
Rob: "I didn't realise it would get to me this much, really warming to see, I didnt think it would interest me, they're just two normal people, it's nice to see. It's dascinating how people talk about them."

*Laurent: "Did you need to do something different after Twilight? To escape that type of role/genre?"
Rob: "I don't think so but what worried me was that people would accept me or not as this character (WFE)".

*Laurent: "What did Francis do to help you with believing that you were working in a circus during the Depression?"
Rob: "Francis and the crew did an amazing work to make the setting authentic. It was so easy to believe we were in the 30s."

*Laurent: "You finished filming the last Twilight movie recently, was it easy to turn the page? Are you scared for the ~after?"
Rob: "Not really, I filmed all those movies right after the others, I'm relieved but I don't feel like making another one now. I can't pretend to look 17 anymore."

*Laurent: "[Didn't catch what he asked him there]"
Rob: "You have to adapt to new cirscumstance, life is always changing".

*Laurent: "Do you also have time to fall in love?"
Rob: "*laughs* yes I think there's always time for that."

*Laurent: "You're going to be in Bel Ami next?"
Rob: "It's one of my favorite books. [Then he said something about it being weird that it was a French book but they had to adapt it in English.]

It went fast so sorry I didn't catch everything, it's not word for word.
