Rock of Ages Headbangs Its Way Onto Blu-ray In OctoberRock of Ages will be released on both Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download on October 9. Adam Shankman’s 80s tale of two young people trying to make it in Hollywood is pretty well supplemented by its musical track and excellent ensemble cast (which also boasts Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Russell Brand, and Malin Akerman, among others). However, Warner Bros. really seems to want to make the set pop with a slew of featurettes....by Jessica Grabert | published: 2012-09-03 12:23:35comments
Weekend Box Office: Rock of Ages Crumbles Under Madagascar's HoovesRock of Ages didn't exactly rock it out this weekend.

Rock Of Ages And That's My Boy Get Demolished At Friday Box OfficeRock of Ages, the star-studded new musical featuring a much-ballyhooed performance from Tom Cruise, made $5.3 million Friday on its way to an estimated $15.5 million weekend, and the R-rated Adam Sandler comedy made $4.5 million, with $14 million estimated for the weekend...by Katey Rich | published: 2012-06-16 16:32:59comments

Great Debate: Can Rock Of Ages Save Movie Musicals?Can a not-that-great movie like Rock of Ages actually bring back movie musicals?

Adam Shankman Talks Dealing With A Wild Baboon While Making Rock Of AgesThe actor W.C. Fields was once quoted as saying, “Never work with animals or children,” and it’s not exactly hard to figure out why. With both you are introducing elements that can never be predicted, and given how insane film sets typically are unpredictability is not a very good thing. So imagine how director Adam Shankman must have felt when a wild baboon starting going nuts while he was trying to make Rock of Ages....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2012-06-12 23:57:37comments

Rock Of Ages Featurette Reveals The Craft Behind The FlashWith little more than a week to go before this rowdy rock musical struts onto the world stage, choreographer turned film director Adam Shankman (Hairspray) is taking a new tactic to tease out more interest, revealing some of the incredible work composer Adam Anders, three-time Emmy-winning choreographer Mia Michaels, and small army of musicians, singers and dancers and have put in to make Rock of Ages the flashiest spectacle of the summer...by Kristy Puchko | published: 2012-06-06 12:56:31comments
Listen To Tom Cruise's Cover Of Pour Some Sugar On Me From Rock Of AgesIt's easy to forget for some reason, but summer movie musicals have had a pretty good run lately, from the massively successful Mamma Mia! to the perfectly lovely Hairspray.

Tom Cruise Becomes A Rock Star In First Trailer For Rock Of AgesTom Cruise is now almost 50 years old, but if you think that's going to stop him from taking on the most challenging film roles he can find you are dead wrong. Beginning this week in IMAX theaters you will be able to see Cruise scale the tallest building in the world - the Burj Khalifa in Dubai - and then swing from it on a cable and then next year he'll be rocking out on stage 80s style in Adam Shankman's Rock of Ages....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-12-13 12:32:49comments
Constantine Maroulis Shows His Sleazy Side On Rock Of Ages SetBrace yourselves, Constantine Maroulis fans. (What are they called? Marou-maniacs? Con-fan-tines?)

Catherine Zeta-Jones Is A Michelle Bachmann Lookalike On The Rock Of Ages SetIt's probably just a coincidence that, in a week when Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann is all over the news in her run for President, Catherine Zeta-Jones is spending her first week on the Rock of Ages set as a prim, anti-rock and roll politician. A coincidence, but a very, very convenient one...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-07-14 14:36:30comments
Will Forte Finds Room To Join The Rock Of Ages CastPersonally I see this as a perfect opportunity for Forte to bring back his blond MacGruber mullet wig-- they were totally in back then!-- but given how few people actually saw the MacGruber movie, that might not be exactly what Shankman has in mind...by Katey Rich | published: 2011-07-12 09:30:24comments
First Look At Tom Cruise Shirtless In Rock Of AgesThe crazy thing is that Cruise is shooting his first scene today-- apparently a rendition of Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me"-- so this is pretty much the earliest we've ever gotten a look at an actor in costume.

Alec Baldwin Not Rolling Away From Rock Of Ages After AllBaldwin’s presence tends to make just about everything better (yes, I’m looking at you, It’s Complicated), so the news that he’s staying on board Rock, which expects to begin shooting on May 23, is welcome, indeed.

Alec Baldwin Is Out Of Rock Of AgesIt's a disappointing blow for the Hairspray director but far less disappointing when put into context.

Catherine Zeta-Jones To Play The Villain In Rock Of AgesCatherine Zeta-Jones' career trajectory has always befuddled me. After years of television work and small films, the actress finally made it big in the late 90s and even won an Oscar for her performance in 2002's Chicago. Despite the huge win, however, her workload never seemed to increase, averaging only one to two movies per year since....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2011-04-20 13:18:55comments

Diego Boneta Snags Lead Role In Rock Of Ages MusicalBoneta has appeared on TV's 90210 and Pretty Little Liars and has an ongoing music career, so it seems unlikely he was cast through the pen casting call that the producers held in late March.
