October 27, 2010, 13 years ago
According to Accesshollywood.com, New Line Cinema has offered Tom Cruise a supporting role in the upcoming big screen version of Rock Of Ages, a rep for the box office superstar confirmed to Access Hollywood.
The film, an adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, will reportedly star Taylor Swift in the role of Sherrie Christian, which was first played by original Broadway Legally Blonde bombshell Laura Bell Bundy in the Los Angeles opening run of the play in 2006.
American Idol alum Constantine Maroulis was Tony-nominated for his starring role in the production’s Broadway run, which kicked off in 2008; a role which he still plays on the Great White Way.
If he takes the gig, Tom would reportedly play a bartender who gets the chance to belt out a handful of ‘80s rock classics.
The story follows a young rocker hungry for his big break and a small town girl chasing her dreams, both of whom land on the LA rock scene just as a legendary Hollywood venue is facing its demise.
