Tom Cruise is in final negotiations to co-star in Rock of Ages, New Line's adaptation of the hit stage musical about 1980s rockers. Adam Shankman ( A Walk to Remember, Bringing Down the House) is directing from a script by Chris D'Arienzo.
Cruise has been circling the project since October. He will play Stacee Jaxx, the arrogant and charming star at the top of his career. Jaxx sings Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead of Alive" in the theater production. Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand are also circling big roles in the film but do not have deals yet.
Shankman's Offspring Entertainment, Tobey Maguire's Maguire Entertainment and Corner Store Entertainment are producing. Production is shooting for a May start date.
