Twilight Fans: Prepare To Invade Ithaca
Rumor has it that Robert Pattinson is about to be accepted to get his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the Ivy best known for its cow population, Cornell University. How does Pattinson find the time to study in Ithaca when there are so many world-changing films in need of heartthrob? Alas, Pattinson’s only planning to stay in the Ith long enough to learn how to treat circus animals, so that he can run away with the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Oh and before you get your Twilight panties in a twist, this is all cinema-magic. The real reason Pattinson is Ivy bound is because he’s in talks to star in the movie Water For Elephants, along with Reese Witherspoon and Sean Penn.
The movie, based on the book by Sara Gruen, will have Pattinson playing Jacob Jankowski (Crisis: Does that make fans Team Edward or Team Jacob now?!), a Cornell Vet student whose parents die, which causes him to drop out of the Big Red and run away with the circus, where he falls in love with Reese Witherspoon’s character, Marlena. Narrative genius! It’s set on the Cornell campus during the 1930s Depression Era. And yes, the studio is planning on going on location to Ithaca. Supposedly the filming is happening in June, so book your campus-to-campus tickets fast!
Maybe the University will even mow the entire slope for his arrival!
