Running away and joining the circus never looked so good.

The trailer above will give you a sneak peek at Water for Elephants, a new flick starring Robert Pattinson as a veterinary student who ditches school and jumps a circus train.

Oscar winner Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) plays the ringleader. Reese Witherspoon, now the envy of thousands of Twilight fans, stars as Pattinson’s wife Marlena.

Water for Elephants comes to theaters April 15.
