Spectrum (film)

Spectrum is an upcoming American film expected to be written and directed by Rebecca Leonard and is based on the former arena Spectrum in Philadelphia, where Leonard went to attend Sesame Street Live in 2003.
==Summary==
From 1967 to 2009, a group of employees involved with the former Philadelphia arena called the Spectrum work together to make sure a sufficient number of events are held at the arena until its closure on Halloween 2009 following a Pearl Jam concert. The Spectrum's demolition commences in November 2010 via a wrecking ball ceremony before being completely razed in May 2011, causing the Wells Fargo Center to be the only indoor venue in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex to continue operating following the Spectrum's demolition, while Xfinity Live! opens on the site of the Spectrum in 2012.
==Cast==
The cast members change based on the decade of the Spectrum's operation. Much of the actors were born after the corresponding decades that the film covers to match the real life events at the former arena. The actors' names are in alphabetical order by first name.
