The following was written by CodyWood who’s a rube on the set of Water for Elephants. You can read the previous entry he made here.
“Ladies and Gentleman!” His hand stretched toward us and traced the circular bleachers. He wore a bright red jacket neatly stuffed with a crisp white handkerchief. The black top hat fit snugly and in his left hand he held a long black baton. “… The most spectacular show on earth!!” He shot his baton toward the entrance of the tent and the crowd erupted with applause. I clapped my hands and whooped. There were no animals entering the tent as suggested. In fact, absolutely nothing happened but we continued to cheer. Christoph Waltz had made an announcement that caused our hair to stand on end and imaginations to run wild.
By the third take some of the magic had worn off but Christoph continued the performance like it had been his first. Once the shot was complete we returned to our holding tent. I found an area of the tent where a steady breeze of air came through and wrote song titles inspired by the story of Water for Elephants.
The AD returned about 45 minutes later. “Ok, I need some nimble people. If you think you’re nimble, follow me!” I closed my notebook and stuffed it in my open backpack. The AD wore a bright blue shirt that was easy to follow to the entrance of the tent. He lifted the flap and one by one we passed into the Big Top. The AD suddenly blocked the entrance. “Woah woah woah. I said nimble. Come on now.” A gentleman that was probably in his early seventies froze like he’d been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. The AD continued, “Go back to holding please. This is for nimble folks only.” The man turned with his head tilted toward the ground and walked away. For a second I felt bad for the man but why had he joined a group of twenty-somethings for an action shot?
Inside the tent four horses were harnessed to a tall carriage stuffed with men holding band instruments. The horses were pointed toward the entrance of the tent. Our gang of “nimble” Rubes were placed precariously in the bleachers near the carriage while Francis Lawrence and Rodrigo Prieto, the cinematographer, stood close-by discussing the angle of the next shot. Our instructions were to look shocked. This turned out to be very easy. On “Action” the horses took off like cavalry. As the carriage tipped side-ways the stunt musicians were strategically thrown from the cart and instruments went flying in all directions. My mouth opened and my muscles tightened. I stared at the men spread across the dusty circus floor in shock – no acting skills necessary.

CHICKAMAUGA, GA (WRCB) – Their reasons for adoring Robert Pattinson may vary, but they’re all here for the same reason, in hopes of the chance to lay their eyes on the Twilight Saga star.
“I just think he looks cute,” Saddler Emory says.
“I love his eyes, they are gorgeous,” Destiny Johnson adds.
“We’re just hoping to get a glimpse or if he’d say thanks for coming or just wanted an autograph,”Samantha Johnson says.
It surely wasn’t for a lack of enthusiasm or patience. Some of these folks have been here since the wee hours of the morning. The storyline here is he filmed and snuck right out, under the noses of all these crooning ladies.
Johnson says she was disappointed, but not giving up. She adds, “People were crying. One lady was furious.”
Wait till she hears this, of all the hearts that were melting here Friday, guess who met him? The ice cream man.
“He’s real nice, a normal person to me,” Tony Gross says.
So the ice cream man made it to the set. And while we can’t show you a shot of the star with his fans on Friday night. We can tell you what ice cream he picked.
“Vanilla big dipper,” Gross says.
A Vanilla Big Dipper is similar to a sundae cone, some call it a nutty buddy.

From WRCB:
CHICKAMAUGA, GA (WRCB) – It was an early wake-up call for dozens of fans as they waited outside an old farm house in Northwest Georgia for a glimpse of actor Robert Pattinson. Many of them got that glimpse too. Channel 3 Eyewitness News was the only television crew on scene as Pattinson walked around in a hoodie.
Pattinson is in town to film opening and closing scenes for the movie Water for Elephants. He will likely only be here for one day but there is a possibility his stay continues into Saturday.
Security is tight around the movie set. Dozens of young females were removed from the property without incident as they got too close.
The film crew started their day with breakfast around 6:30 a.m. and began shooting soon after 7:00 a.m.
