The famous landmark has been replicated atop an old landfill in South Florida as prop for a new movie Rock of Ages, starring Tom Cruise and Russell Brand.
The adaptation of the Broadway show, which also features Alec Baldwin, Mary J. Blige and Catherine Zeta-Jones, started production in the area of Fort Lauderdale this month.

The sign currently stands in the Monarch Hill Renewable Energy Park, between Coconut Creek and Deerfield Beach.

The place used to go by the less ambitious name of Mount Trashmore.
And, according to published reports, the landfill’s owners plan on donating their movie-location fee to a scholarship fund at the local high school.
