Team Edward fans from around the country want to know if, when and where actor Robert Pattinson will be in Chattanooga filming scenes for “Water for Elephants.”
It was confirmed last week by Missy Crutchfield, director of city’s Education, Arts & Culture, that scenes are being shot in the area this weekend and that crews have been here for a month building sets and scouting locations.
Neither she nor 20th Century Fox, which is producing the film that also stars Reese Witherspoon, will say if the stars will be here.
“I don’t know,” Ms. Crutchfield said.
That has not stopped fans from communicating online on sites such as onlocationvacations.com trying to guess where the shooting will take place or from planning to come here in search of the “Twilight” star.
Officials are being tight-lipped about production details, but fans on the site have identified a house in Kensington, Ga., and the Chattanooga Choo Choo as possible locations and they are talking about driving in from Nashville, Tampa, Alabama and elsewhere to try for a glimpse of Pattinsion.
Annie Still, director of sales at the Choo Choo, said that the hotel complex does have crew staying there.
“So do other hotels,” she said. “We actually have a small portion of the number. I do know there will not be anything shot here and I do not believe we have the stars here.”
A news release from 20th Century Fox released through the Tennessee Film, Entertainment, & Music Commission on Tuesday offered no clues to the shooting locations. It said only that principal photography was under way and offered some basic facts about the film.
