'Water for Elephants' to premiere in Chattanooga Filed under ( Water for Elephants )

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) – The Chattanooga Southeast Tennessee Film Commission has announced the premiere of 'Water for Elephants' will be held in Chattanooga.

The premiere will be held April 22 at the Carmike Majestic 12 Theatre, in Downtown Chattanooga.

Scenes from the film, starring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon, were shot in Chattanooga and North Georgia in August.

The CSTFC says the role of the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum (TVRM) in providing a vintage train and dedicated 3-mile track for the film set was the key to landing the shoot with 20^th Century Fox. "The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum is what makes Chattanooga unique for filming," says TVRM Marketing Coordinator Steve Freer, who has been working for almost two years to attract "Water for Elephants" to film in Chattanooga.

There is limited seating available. Tickets are $9.50 for Adults and $7.00 for Children. For more information call (423) 826-2370.
