Rock of Ages the Broadway hit is set to go to film. See if something works on Broadway they will dumb it up and mass produce it and shove it down the throats of the folks in Kansas.
They feel cool, there are tons of royalties everyone is happy and it keeps the corn pone off the Great White Way.
Win win.
This thing will flop like a giant flour bag.
I just cant see Tom Cruise as a rockstar in the first place. Plus the whole weird concept of the show itself a hard rock/metal spectacular? Todd can I get a witness that this is a pretty narrow subject matter? Anyway its happening and it may even make it to screen and if it does the one redemption will be….
Russell Brand as the rock promoter Lonny ….
Well, I'm not sure how Brand is going to promote Cruise but then again who really cares.
How did this nifty news leak? Simple, like all business matters, via Twitter
Producer Adam Shankman
"I can officially announce Russell Brand as your Lonny in #rockofagesmovie! I see a mullet in his future… maybe a Nikki Sixx?”
First off- he ain't my Lonny
Second of all I love how he didn't hash Brands name.. cuz really 'rock of ages movie' has a greater likely hood of trending.
I smell Spiderman in reverse. Just hope nothing falls on Russells' face
