Rock of Ages is getting bigger! We just learned that lovely Catherine Zeta-Jones is going to be the part of this project as well. Sounds good? Why not?
So we’re interested to see this Oscar winner actress next to previously reported Tom Cruise, Mary J. Blige, Alec Baldwin, Paul Giamatti, Russell Brand, Julianne Hough and Diego Gonzalez Boneta in the upcoming Adam Shankman‘s project that:
“…tells the story, replete with hair-band music, of a small-town girl who comes to Hollywood for the 1980s music scene and is nearly destroyed by it. Although she falls for a budding musician named Drew, she also catches the eye of Stacee Jaxx, an arrogant rocker at the height of his career, ends up as a stripper in a club run by Blige but also finds true love at the end.”
Russell Brand Joins Rock Of Ages
We’re happy to report that previous rumors are true, and that Russell Brand is finally on board for the upcoming Adam Shankman’s adaptation of the stage musical Rock of Ages. Movie has quite interesting cast that already includes Mary J. Blige, Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Julianne Hough, Paul Giamatti and Diego Gonzalez Boneta. Check out the rest of our report for more details.
Rock of Ages is set in the 1980s and filled with rock music from that decade (classic ’80s tunes by Styx, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Poison and Whitesnake). Chris D’Arienzo, the musical’s creator, wrote the screen adaptation with Adam Shankman and Justin Theroux doing a polish. Adam Shankman will direct and choreograph the film, while Carl Levin, Matthew Weaver, Scott Prisand, Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Gibgot will produce.
So, according to the latest reports, Russell Brand is on board will take on the role of Lonnie in the film who runs the ‘80s rock club The Bourbon, owned by Dennis (the role Alec Baldwin will be playing).
