It’s official.  We are getting more Tom Cruise and we are getting a new, musical side to him.  Director/producer, Adam Shankman announced on the Oscars red carpet that Cruise is going to be in his starring in his New Line/Warner Bros. film of Rock of Ages.

Gwyneth Paltrow Says Tom Cruise Is An ‘Amazing Kisser’

Who will Tom play?  Jaxx.  He’s the dude that sings Jon Bon Jovi’s ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’ in the Broadway musical version of Rock of Ages.

The musical 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 anthems.

Shankman will also be choreographing the the film.  Who could do a better job, right?

So what do you think?  I firmly believe that Tom Cruise is out of his mind, but he’s also a brilliant actor and I know he will hit this one out of the park.  Can’t wait to see how this one turns out.
