It looks like the production of Rock of Ages is firming up with the casting of Julianne Hough, Dancing with the Stars Champ. She will star opposite Tom Cruise in the adaptation of the Broadway musical.

Adam Shankman (Hairspray) is directing and choreographing the movie musical. The story is centered around rock hits of the 1980s by Journey, Joan Jett, Bon Jovi and Pat Benatar. It focuses on a couple that meets at the Sunset Strip club Rock of Ages, falls in love and tries to stay together while living the rock life.

The musical premiered in Los Angeles in 2006 and came to Broadway three years later, receiving five Tony nominations.
