Starstruck (2010)

Posted on November 29, 2011 by admin

Starring Sterling Knight, Brandon Mychal Smith, Daniel Campbell.

No movie about star struck teens going to Hollywood would be complete without a mandatory shot of the Sign, and this popular Disney Channel Original Movie is no exception. The landmark also figures large in the promotional Bus Tour mini-films made for the film, as the film’s stars are taken on a special tour of glamorous Hollywood sights.
