The Morning Midway: Photos Hot Off the Set of "Water For Elephants."


Looks mighty real to me. Only glaring incongruity I can see so far are box cars supposedly posing as circus stock cars.

A slew of wagon charmers said to be on loan from Circus World Museum. Hope they have a cut of the royalties.








Christoph Waltz as "August." He looks cool.



Star Robert Pattinson, center, on the set. If this guy's a national "heartthrob," I'm the last one to know it. I still wish Sean Penn had made it into the film, somewhere. He seemed so right for a gritty circus flick.

Yet to appear: Betty White.
