Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon Embrace in 'Water for Elephants' Photo

A new photo from "Water for Elephants" starring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon has come out via German Bravo magazine. Now a scan of the still has hit the web, giving a look at the on-screen couple's romantic sequence as they are in a loving embrace. The young actor is seen wearing a dull shirt while the leading lady looks elegant in a black dress.

Pattinson is playing an orphaned veterinary student called Jacob who is put in charge of caring for the animals in a traveling circus. He later falls in love with Witherspoon's Marlena, a beautiful equestrian rider, but she is married to the troupe's charismatic but dangerous animal trainer August. Christoph Waltz is in duty to portray Marlena's husband.

"Water for Elephants" is based on Sara Gruen Depression-era circus novel. Francis Lawrence directs the drama film with the script written by Richard LaGravenese. The movie will hit theaters across the nation on April 15, 2011.
