NewsBLITZ: ROCK OF AGES TO HIT THE SILVER SCREEN

A favorite of the MusikBLITZ editors, the off-Broadway hit musical Rock Of Ages will soon make its way on to the big screen!

New Line Cinema has just inked a deal with Chris D’Arienzo, who authored the book for the original show, to write the screenplay and direct the movie.

Rock Of Ages
takes place in Hollywood in the decadent 1980s where a Sunset Strip rock club is in danger of being torn down. Working at the club are many interesting characters whose stories unfold to some of the best hard rock tunes of all time. Songs from Bon Jovi, Poison, Whitesnake, Twisted Sister, Warrant, Journey, Extreme, Mr. Big, Pat Benatar, REO Speedwagon and other favorite acts are featured.


No word yet on who will be cast in the Rock Of Ages film. The star of the off-Broadway production—currently in performances at New York City’s New World Stages—is gorgeous American Idol finalist Constantine Maroulis.


Here’s a clip of the cast performing the big number “Here I Go Again” on Late Night With Conan O’Brien in November:
