The intrigue continues with the casting of Rob's newest project, 'Cosmopolis'. It's been confirmed that Marion Cotillard, who was originally slated to play Rob's wife in the film, is pregnant and has dropped out of the project. On the heels of that announcement, there has been buzz that British acress Keira Knightley will replace her. While there has been no official confirmation as yet, her name has been added to the Cosmopolis IMDB page...

Paul Giamatti, who was also originally attached to the film, is in question as well. Hopefully more definitive casting news will be announced soon.

Why You Must Read 'Water for Elephants' Before You See The Film Adaptation

If you have not read Sara Gruen’s Water for Elephants we suggest you go get your hands on a copy immediately. This enthralling tale tells the story of a young man as he loses everything he has ever known during the Great Depression of the 1930′s in America.

The protagonist of the book, Jacob Jankowski, leaves all that he has and through a bizarre series of events finds himself working for the Benzini Brothers traveling circus. The book tells Jacob’s story as he remembers it at the age of 93. A story of adventure, friendship, betrayal, loss and love, this book will truly capture your heart.

Gruen’s writing is eloquent and precise and she does an incredible job of creating vivid mental images of what a 1930′s circus was like. This is truly one of those novels that you will not want to put down. The book received so much critical acclaim that it was recently made into a film adaptation which is currently in post production and set to be released on April 15, 2011.
