WFE Driver Talks About Working With Rob

Now that filming for Water For Elephants is finished, many of those who worked on the film are revealing their experience on set. One of them being Eugene Glenn, who is the owner of some of the classic cars that were used on WFE. In his article with Decaturdaily.com, Glenn talks about how became a part of WFE while they were filming in Tennessee and his experience with Rob.

Excerpt about Rob and his character. 

Teenage fans of British heartthrob Robert Pattinson would have paid a premium for a Hillsboro man’s seat Friday in a rural area outside Chickamauga, Ga.

While the teens gathered with their cameras at a blocked-off road leading to a movie set at a farmhouse, Eugene Glenn sat behind the steering wheel of a 1930 Model A Ford as members of the crew gave him a push to start his car. Pattinson, 24, who appears in “Eclipse” with Kristen Stewart, sat in the passenger seat.

“I didn’t say a word to him,” Glenn said, “and he didn’t offer any conversation.”
Filming scenes of “Water for Elephants” brought Glenn to the cattle farm about 28 miles south of Chattanooga, although the story from the Sara Gruen novel during the Great Depression originates in Tompkins County, New York.

Pattinson, the star of the “Twilight” movie series who appeared in two Harry Potter flicks, portrays Jacob Jankowski, a veterinary student shy of a degree who abandons his studies after his parents are killed and joins a third-rate traveling circus as the veterinarian. The story unfolds as Jacob meets Marlena Rosenbluth, a beautiful equestrian star played by Reese Witherspoon, and her husband and animal trainer, August, played by Christoph Waltz.
