<ROA> to Film at Revolution Those paying close attention to the upcoming concert listings at Revolution, Fort Lauderdale's sizable downtown rock venue, will certainly notice a sizable gap in programming for June. After May 28's Face to Face show, nothing follows on the calendar until a Dirty South DJ gig on July 1. This is not a result of a snowbird mass exodus or a yearly fumigation, though.
Several sources confirm that the upcoming movie adaptation of the Broadway hair metal extravaganza Rock of Ages, which stars Tom Cruise, will film performance scenes inside the 1,100-capacity venue.
P.S. As far as we know, the electronic artist Com Truise's booking at Revolution July 12 is pure coincidence. SOURCE

So. Florida Becomes LA Motorists driving down the Florida Turnpike might think they have hit some kind of worm hole that transported them to the West Coast, but that stuff only happens in the movies.
And it's actually a movie that has them feeling that way.
The famous "HOLLYWOOD" sign, or at least a 20-foot tall replica, has been erected in South Florida as part of the upcoming film "Rock of Ages," which is being shot locally.
Crews used cranes to put up the letters at Waste Management 's Monarch Hill Renewable Energy Park.
It can be seen from the Turnpike and Sample Road. We wonder how many tourists will run trespass on the landfill to get a picture in front of the sign thinking it's the real deal.
A neighborhood along NW 14th Street in Miami will also be transformed into Sunset Boulevard circa 1980 for the film.
Ironically, there is an actual Hollywood in South Florida, but putting a sign there might cause a little too much confusion. SOURCE
