” No one was more excited to work with an incredible acting talent than film newcomer, Gloria Estefan, who had been looking to act for some time. “I was looking for a small role in a meaningful film.” Estefan knew she could learn a lot from Streep and she watched her carefully and did her best to learn as much as she could from her. “Streep is very giving and very supportive to everyone around her.” Estefan continues, “I just saw her do a scene with the audience and the camera wasn’t even on her and she did this amazing thing that just made everyone spellbound and right into what she was doing, and it’s a very giving thing for an actor to do. That’s why she is at the top of her game.”

Hollywood movie to begin filming in South Florida

MIAMI (WSVN) -- A new movie production is making preparations to film in South Florida.
The hit Broadway play "Rock of Ages" is getting ready to hit the silver screen, and filming will soon begin in Miami. "They're spending a lot of money. They're spending tens of millions of dollars here over the course of the six to twelve weeks that they'll be in production," said Jeff Peel of the Miami-Dade Office of Film & Entertainment.

The musical film will feature cameos by artists like Mary J. Blige and Miami's own Gloria Estefan. The production will bring many more celebrities to South Florida, including Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Russell Brand and Paul Giamatti. "Pretty much every star in Hollywood seems to be in this film," said Peel. "It's just the best advertisement that this city could ever get."
