I had confirmation this morning from FOXAustralia that the blu-ray and DVD of Water for Elephants will be released in Australia on 19 October 2011.  I’ll provide more info as soon as it comes to hand, but I thought you might want to mark it down in your diaries!

I cannot wait to own Jacob especially since Sydney agrees with him so much.

Woo hooo, big congratulations to Carmel who as we know, is one of the three winners of a double pass to see WFE at The Ritz Cinema.  So excited for you Carmel *grins*  You get to see Rob as Jacob on the big screen once again *happy dance*  If the two other winners could confirm to us that they were notified that would be great.  Congrats everyone & enjoy Jacob.  I cannot wait to see him again tomorrow!

Another amazing year for you Rob, one that has brought us so many wonderful memories, happy times & most importantly – so much success for you!  I hope you have the most wonderful & special birthday & even though you are hard at work, can have some time to yourself to enjoy your special day. No one deserves it more than you.  You are a beautiful person & truly deserve all the happiness in the world.  Thank you so much for giving so much of yourself to us all.  Now it’s time for YOU to be spoiled – enjoy *hugs*   To help celebrate Rob’s very special day, here’s a little birthday message I put together…..

Will sticky post this for a few days – scroll down to see new posts

Do you live in Sydney?  Are you dying to see Water for Elephants for the first time or possibly fifth in a theatre that will transport you back to that time?

I know we’ve  already seen it twice.  Yes Michelle, Vertigo, Lise-Lou & myself needed to see it again and were lucky enough to attend one of the RITZ’s special screenings on Saturday.  For those who are yet to experience Jacob Jankowski, all I will say is Rob was born to play this role.

The Ritz Cinema, Randwick has always been supportive of Rob’s movies and as most of our regular followers know, gave RPAU the opportunity to hold the first screening of Little Ashes in Australia.  Some of our followers have previously won tickets to see Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse & Remember Me at the Ritz.  Now they are giving 3 lucky RPAU followers the chance to win a double pass to see Water for Elephants.

For your chance to win one of 3 double passes, please email functions@ritzcinema.com.au with the subject line:  FAN SITE Competition for WFE tickets.  The Ritz will choose the winners and let us know who they are.  We will post the names of the 3 lucky winners on Friday 13 May 2011 to help celebrate Rob’s birthday.

So what are you waiting for!

Please note the following conditions apply:

–  Winning tickets will only be valid for the RITZ  for the season of the film

–  Tickets not valid for Saturday evening after 6pm

–  Tickets are not transferrable for another movie showing at the RITZ

The Ritz Cinema is located at 45 St. Pauls Street, Randwick (tel:  02 9399 5722).

Good luck everyone!

PS.  Just check out the back corner because you’ll probably see me sitting there LOL.

As most of you have guessed all of us are strutting our stuff down the red carpet at the Sydney WFE Premiere *squee* – well as best we can strut. Although there might not be any post updates on the site tonite, you can always follow us at RPAU’s Twitter for updates this evening from the premiere – no promises about anything and hopefully it won’t be major fail – security in Sydney is tight!

All will be back to normal either later tonite or tomorrow – well as normal as can be if we’ve been lucky enough to actually see Rob in the flesh.

*drum roll* Donna – who not only correctly answered our question of “what was the original Australian release date for Water for Elephants” (June 9th), but was also the 25th person to answer the question correctly. 25 being the number that we chose as the lucky one! Congrats Donna *throws streamers* If you could please send us an email at robertpattinsonau@hotmail.com to claim your prize. Thanks so much to everyone that entered – we had so much fun running this comp.
