Water for Elephants

Wonder why they wouldn't shoot the movie at the CWM with alot more background available to them.
Unfortunately, the State of Wisconsin let film credits ($)drop from the budget. For that reason, the director decided to film the picture in California.
Wow, that sounds crazy as it would have put money into the local economy from the film crews,etc. Plus having the exposure for the CWM with film credits,etc. Do you know if the CWM will have a line of credit for the use of the wagons at the end of the movie? Would have been easy to insert with lease contract.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
