Here’s the weekly round-up of pics and quotes of the day that we post on ourTumblr.
“I enjoy working with children and animals more than adults the majority of the time because they’re a constant source of inspiration because they’re just doing their own thing. They don’t know they’re in a movie.”
Newly married Reese Witherspoon says she could learn a thing or two about fame from Water for Elephants co-star Robert Pattinson.
Did she try to give him advice? “Me?!” she gasped to USA TODAY’s Andrea Mandell via phone. “If anything I’d probably be asking his advice. He has, like, military tactics to avoid paparazzi. It’s pretty incredible the operations that go on.”
In the film (a tan!) R-Patz takes a break from hunky vampire Edward Cullen to join the Water for Elephants’ 1930s-set circus. And while Reese says her kids are still too young for Twilight, the age range of fans camping out by the Water for Elephants set was unbelievable. “I’ve worked with a lot of people but I’ve never seen the amount of attention or paparazzi or just fans camped out on the edge of the set ever in my whole life,” she says. “There’d be little, little girls camped out, 7-year-olds with their parents at 4 o’clock in the morning. Five o’clock in the morning we’d pull off of set – I was bleary eyed and there’d be 10 women waiting on the roof of their cars just trying to see him.”
Are you going to the Water for Elephants Premiere in NYC? Well Gretchen has set up a great Remember Me tour for Saturday the 16th if you’re in town. We’ll most likely be with them as well as Patti from An Unofficial Remember Me Site. It’s a great chance to visit some of the filming locations from the movie. You must RSVP here for the tour. We had made a post about some of these locations which you can check out here. Well update you as soon as we get more info!
This is a casual walking tour of the Remember Me fans. Gretchen/Twilidiot will be moving straight through the schedule. You may want to spend more time at many of the sites, or see great shopping along the way, but please plan to come back at a later time if you want to stay with the group.
