Fox is marketing the Depression-era drama, also starring Reese Witherspoon, to followers of the Sara Gruen novel and its love story.

As Robert Pattinson was about to step onto the red carpet at the April 17 premiere of Water for Elephants in New York, photographers frantically yelled at one woman, "Lady, lady, get out of the way." Little did they know they were screaming at Fox 2000 president Elizabeth Gabler, who made the period romantic drama that stars Pattinson opposite Reese Witherspoon.
