Third time could be the charm with Baldwin. This sold out debut 2006 production across the UK and Europe starred Richard Burton, Moody Blues Justin Hayward, Russell Watson, and others, with Jeff conducting. But New Line first sought Will Ferrell for the part, and he spent some time digesting it before ultimately passing. ‘The Shows Must Go On is launching the multi-award winning Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version of ‘The War of the Worlds’ as part of YouTube’s 12 Days of Culture initiative. Baldwin has the offer to play Dennis Dupree, the ex-rocker who runs the Rock of Ages club while he hangs on to his glory days. Baldwin’s offer shows just how fluid things are with this movie. A new draft is currently being written to incorporate those ideas and if all goes well, Cruise will sign on.īut don’t count the chickens just yet. No offer has been made but Cruise has been quietly involved for a while now, giving notes of his ideas for the script. But THR can set the record straight on the Cruise front: New Line and the producers - Shankman’s Offspring Entertainment, Tobey Maguire’s Maguire Entertainment and Corner Store Entertainment - want Cruise to play Stacee Jaxx, the arrogant and charming rock star at the zenith of this career for the project, set in a legendary rock club facing its demise at the hands of eager developers. 'Rock of Ages centers on two people who meet at the Sunset Strip club Rock of Ages, fall in love and try to stay together amid '80s rock songs.' The original musical does rock like hell, but I'm definitely impatient to see the Rock of Ages movie, especially because Tom Cruise got a role. ![]()
