We have a bit of a set update and more detailed filming location information from day one of Water For Elephants (starring Robert Pattinson) shooting in Fillmore, CA. One of our readers, Lea, stopped by the set today and here’s a what she had to say:
When I got there they were shooting at the HUGE set off of Sycamore Rd, I drove down almost into it and security ALMOST let me thru… it’s really not that tight, If I had lied properly I’m sure they would have let me in. They had even let a pap in earlier. I met some cool guys, especially this awesome french guy who let me look thru his super long lense and watch Rob work for a bit! There are apparently two ways in and out of that particular set, but I couldn’t find the other one. The paps will help tell you when they’re done shooting so you can wait for them to come out, I didn’t stay because I was by myself.
Security told me there is also another set in Piru and the paps confirmed that. They said it was right off of the road. They said they had shot Rob shooting on a train THIS MORNING.
The paps definitely help letting you know where they are filming and when they’re done so you can expect them to leave. You can also follow them to the next locations. I’m sure I would have seen Rob, they told me where he would be coming out but I just couldn’t wait by myself.
You can follow all of the filming updates from our readers as filming continues in our WATER FOR ELEPHANTS OPEN THREAD. Two other comments said to “look for the yellow “JERRY” signs off of 7th and Sycamore in Fillmore” and “to try the 126 Hwy and get off on Sycamore. [The set] is off to the right you can’t miss it..HUGE set (closed though).”
(Thanks Lea, Miss J & Bob)
Yep, bright yellow JERRY signs. But I saw the set before I saw those… it is so huge you really can’t miss it… or all of the paparazzi taking pictures.
I wish I had spent more time looking around the town, maybe I would have actually SEEN the trains, doh!
Thanks for posting this! =)
I must give a HUGE thank you to Christine for being so available via text ALL DAY and always available via email. I know you’re busy with a lot of things and other movie news… Can you believe OTHER movies are being shot right now?? 😉
You are amazing!

Thanks Lea! Saw these pics and thought of you, guess you would have needed a helicopter to get decent pics yesterday! 🙂

=O how awesome! I did see a bit thru the french mans lense, that was cool but that’s a GREAT view.
Maybe next time we will all pitch in to rent a helicopter haha. I figured it will be a lot easier if we can catch them on the tracks. Fingers crossed!
Wow! It’s reassuring to hear the papa were actual nice and so forthcoming for a change, Lea. It’s never been my experience but maybe they’re different., I’m thinking of going on Monday. Was it easy to find? Is there a good time to go? And are the trailers near the set?
The trailers are to the right of the set but you can’t get near them, it was really easy to find off the road. There is also the base camp somewhere around, maybe some trains on the tracks (maybe at Fillmore station) which would be so easy to find, and another set in Piru apparently.
I think you should come Tuesday with all of us! That way if one of us hears something while the other is off exploring we can be totally creepy and alert each other haha.
The paps told me they had also seen Rob on Wednesday wandering around town and he had a “VERY” nice car… but I can’t remember what it was now. Who knows, he might go for a wander or come out of the set and say hi if he hears there are fans waiting.
That would be the nice thing to do Rob! *flutters eyelashes* 😉
i don’t think they are filming all those locations those are for other movies aren’t they, what about cornell?
i went on this Monday memorial day there was no one there but i got a video of it im going on friday if anyone is please email me does he really go see his fans cuz if i meet him ill cry
