Gossip Teen

Robert Pattinson is filling his 2010 film schedule pretty tightly. The actor has signed on for Bel Ami and Unbound Captives and could soon add Water From Elephants to his list. In negotiations for the Depression era circus tale, he could rejoin his Vanity Fair costar Reese Witherspoon (confirmed) and possibly Sean Penn who is still mulling the offer.

Based on Sara Gruen’s best-selling historical tome of the same name, story centers on a Cornell U. veterinary student who leaves his studies after his parents are killed and joins up with the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth, working as a vet for the circus. Witherspoon will play Marlena, the beautiful equestrian star married to August (Penn), the charismatic but twisted animal trainer.

Still no word on Breaking Dawn, the final film (or two) in The Twilight Saga franchise, Pattinson is wise to ink everything he can.
