He's totally on his way to becoming Leo DiCaprio 2.0!

Reese Witherspoon is already attached to star, and Sean Penn and Rob Pattinson are eying Fox 2000's adaptation of Water for Elephants, reports Variety. Here's the plot:

    "Set during the Great Depression, Sara Gruen's best-selling book tells the story of a Cornell University 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."


Sounds kinda weird! But with these three starring, it's sure to be a hit. Right?
