Stephenie’s Battlefield & Eclipse Re-shoot Rumors
We wanted to ask Stephenie this: “Summit makes really dumb decisions like 99.7% of the time. How do you deal with it? Do you want to scream & tell them you’re taking your books somewhere else? How much do you hate them on a scale of 1-10. Do you blame everything in your life- like when you lock yourself out of the house- on Summit like we do?” but figured she wouldn’t answer that… so… we went about it a little nicer:

This above is a sample of what you can expect from their interview! Her audio responses are at their site!

Carol Cross’ Georgia farm will be filled with movie lights, camera and action this weekend, but she may not be there during the shooting, even though film stars Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon may be.

“I’m not gonna be a nuisance,” said Cross, whose husband, Gary, co-owns the farm with his brother, Tommy. “I have no idea where we are going to be or anything like that. We are just along for the ride.”

A crew will be on the Kensington, Ga., farm to shoot part of the movie “Water for Elephants,” which stars Pattinson, made famous by his role as the vampire Edward Cullen in the “Twilight” film series, and Witherspoon, the Nashville native who won a Best Actress Oscar for “Walk the Line.”

Though 20th Century Fox, which is producing the movie, has said only that the film is in production, a casting call for extras said shooting will take place in the Chattanooga area today through Monday.

It is not clear if Pattinson and Witherspoon will actually be at the farm during the shooting or exactly what other locations might be used. Cross said she had not been told specifics about how long the crew will be at the Kensington farm.

Local fans, as well as others around the country, have been communicating online, trying to find the locations in hopes they can catch a glimpse of the stars, especially Pattinson, whose diehard fans are said to be part of “Team Edward.”

Molly Suttle, 18, of Soddy-Daisy, said she heard of the possible visit last week and created a page on Yahoo.com so her friends could share information about the filming here.

“He is famous and he is one of our favorite actors and one of our favorite musicians, so it’s one of those things where we are not plotting or planning to stalk him,” she said. “He’s a movie star and we are so excited that he is gonna be here in Chattanooga of all places.

“I am a fan of ‘Twilight,’ but I also like his other things, and I love his music,” she said.

Walker County sheriff’s deputies will be on the set in Kensington, monitoring traffic flow and the number of people in the area, said Sheriff Steve Wilson. But he doesn’t think there will be any traffic snarls or massive crowds.

“I don’t anticipate closing the road,” he said. “If the traffic does become a problem, we may.”

Cross said the film crew has been doing “cosmetic work” on the interior and exterior of the house located on her farm. She said neither she nor her husband were familiar with Pattinson or Witherspoon’s work prior to being contacted by a film scout about using their house in the film.

“We are simple people and we live very simply,” she said. “This is an exciting thing for us. It’s gonna be a whirlwind and it’s gonna be over.”

In one corner: Zac Efron. In another corner: Robert Pattinson.The thing that’s got them both cornered: Their respective teen-idol status.

Pattinson tried to knock his way out with Remember Me. Efron gives it his shot this weekend with Charlie St. Cloud.

Who’ll break out first? Let’s take some guesses (in diplomatic alphabetical order):

Efron Wins! “If he plays his cards right, he could easily be the next Leonardo DiCaprio,” says tween-marketing specialist Ashley Dos Santos.

In addition to possessing the ability to inspire killer soundbites (like the one above), Efron can memorably model swim trunks, honorably acquit himself in an art-house movie (Me and Orson Welles), and credibly, and non-sleezily, talk strip clubs with Jimmy Kimmel. In other words, the 22-year-old is a credit to his own peer group.

“When you look at him in interviews, he has a certain approachability,” Dos Santos says. “…I think if he can prove his acting chops, Efron will definitely gain acceptance among twentysomethings.”

One advantage he’s got over Pattinson? The High School Musical grad has moved off the covers of the OMG!-ing Bops of the world, per Dos Santos, while Pattinson remains in their grip, thanks to the not-yet-done Twilight franchise.

Pattinson Wins! OK, so maybe some of Team Edward’s audience is still on the young side. But at least it was never on the Wildcat-crazed tween side.

“Zac has the same ‘problem’ as Miley Cyrus in aging up the audience,” youth-marketing consultant Allison Ellis said in an email. “…[Pattinson] never had this issue because audiences never met him until Twilight.”

And while Remember Me didn’t break any box-office (or critical) records, Pattinson’s world-famous mug helped the romantic weepie ultimately gross more than triple its budget. (In a crowded weekend at the multiplex, the jury’s out on whether Charlie St. Cloud will top Remember Me‘s own modest domestic opening weekend.) In any case, Pattinson is money—or at least money enough to land Reese Witherspoon for his new leading lady.

Also, his new haircut (for the Witherspoon movie, Water for Elephants)? Not a bad answer to Efron’s torso.

We Have No Idea Who Wins! Like we’re psychic. We could’ve sworn Josh Hartnett was going to be the next Ben Affleck, who was supposed to be the taller Matt Damon.

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.

West Cove Road is now blocked. 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.

He [Chris Cooper] portrays a detective in his new film Remember Me, co-starring teenage heart-throb Robert Pattinson.

“He’s a very sweet young man,” he said of the Twilight star. “He’s up against the kind of notoriety that’s monstrous at that age. I don’t know how he handles it.”

This afternoon I continued my search for information on the movie filming of Water for Elephants in Chattanooga.

I went to the Tennessee Railroad Museum and went inside and asked if anyone knew about the movie, but of course all the workers acted like I was insane.

Then I noticed some people working on the trains.

I went up and notice they were putting signs on the trains that said “Benzini Brothers Circus” on both sides of one of the trains. A kind lady working with the crew from LA they were setting up today and tomorrow. She says she didn’t know when they were filming there, but that leaves Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. My best guess it will be very early in the morning or very late at night when the museum is closed.

Thats all I know for now but I plan on returning to the museum each day to see them filming and find more information

Via larry411:

BTW Water for Elephants WILL be a wide release.

Just FYI “wide” release is generally defined as anything over 800 theaters by MOST in the industry. Some say 600, some say 2000.

You and Robert have a lot of passionate and intense scenes in ‘Eclipse’. Do you start laughing when you shoot them?
It happens a lot, more so with Taylor. We have a lot of fun with those types of things, because the intimate moments between Jacob and Bella are few and strange. Rob and I are more serious in those types of scenes because we have more.

Update: Post edited due to display problem.

Box Office Mojo is reporting 4/15/11 as the release date!
