Tom Cruise takes the mic in 'Rock of Ages' trailerTom Cruise turns himself into a total rock star in the new clip for the anticipated “Rock of Ages” screen adaptation. New Line Cinema released the second trailer for the uber-popular Broadway musical-turned-film on Monday. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEJETbo8gsk] In it, a long-haired Cruise - aka Stacee Jaxx - can be seen in full rock star swag, tattooed and at times wearing a fluffy fur, surrounded by scantily-dressed women.
He’s cavorting with similarly '80s-styled co-stars Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Malin Akerman, Mary J. Blige, Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta and, last but not least, a monkey named "Hey, Man." As fans of the musical would expect, the Adam Shankman-helmed vehicle is all about sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, and as such, boasts a big-haired soundtrack of '80s rock anthems. Among them? Classics like Journey’s “Any Way You Want It,” Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock and Roll," Warrant’s “Heaven Isn’t Too Far Away" and Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive."

I would of gone and seen this movie, it looks kind of funny. But the fact that Tom Cruise is in it sinched it for me. I won't ever pay to see anything with that disgusting jerk in it again. I wouldn't even buy it out of the Walmart dollar bin.
so what hes gay are are you going to go to see the movie or what him being gay as nothing to do with him acting or him being a Scientoligist it so what hes not like you and me .
The text in the ad is misleading. "I love rock n roll" is an Arrows song, written by the British band The Arrows in 1975, covered successfully in the USA in 1982 by Joan Jett. She didn't write the song. She wasn't the original artist. As a result she didn't have a #1 record in the UK, she didn't even make top 3 there. It's an Arrows song.
This will be in the discount pile at Walmart in no time...sweaty, short, cultist, middle aged man with fake tattoos playing a rock god? Really??? LOL.....
how did this get a green light to be made?
Got me..............I can't understand it. Sorry Tom but your days of being a heart-throb are long past over!
I think i will wait for cable or just watch Rock Star again but I hope it is at least semi-entertaining.
Ok... Tom Cruise is a Rock star now...( playing one thank goodness) Uhm Pass! He does not strike me as a plausible, believable actor playing one...Mission Impossible- Yeah for him.
This is a rock parody – not very interesting.
Look at those boot's heels to make him look taller. haha
What do you guys think?
Trailers usually contain some of the best parts of the movie to make people want to go see it. I see nothing in this trailer to make me want to go. Just sounds like a lot of bad covers of some good (and not so good) 80's songs.
Honestly I was expecting something cooler.....I bet it'll be entertaining but its not going to be on my agenda....I think their trying to get people to swallow it based on the popularity of Glee, american Idol and 80's classics...it looks like a hot mess from the trailer.
Looks truly awful.
Tom Cruise tried to sniff my weiner at a Scientology f&rt party
Tom comes off as a jaded drugged out he b-tch axl rose and alec baldwin looks horribly out of place in that long hair wig ugggh bad acting terrible scripts typical hollywood sleeze garbage not gonna touch this one its nothin more than a money grab to me
The soundtrack will be AMAZING!!!!!
II'll be happy to watch this once it's on Show Time or HBO, but I won't bother going to the theater for this one. Best of luck to all the cast and crew!
it is not good very bad movie

OK, I just threw up somewhere and it wasn't in my pants.
Tom Cruise once threw up John Travoltas poop on my weiner
yep,tom cruise is gay
no he's not.
You are.
"This just proves that Tom Cruse can do any roll and look good doing it"
He sold this movie to me, I'm there on opening day
It's amusing to watch non-rock folk interpret rock and try and shape it into some dance-oriented shlock to sell to the mainstream emptyheads. I have no fondness for vomiting, I shall pass instead.
it's just a fun movie, something that has happened before..it's called the 80's.
Enjoy. Or just don't go. Just don't complain, pinhead.
they sure as heck don't make the movies like they use too. FLOP came to mind when i saw that both Russell Brand and Paul Giamatti were in the film. how does Russell Brand keep getting work. didn't they get the hint when Arthur Flopped? we all have our own likes/dislikes in what we choose to watch. just saying this doesn't look appealing AT ALL.
First off apparently you are not old enough to remember the first Arther with Dudley Moore, That movie was garbage but Dudley did a second one. As far as Giamatti is concerned your a troll if you don't notice Giamatti as a talent. Complain, complain, complain, you people aren't happy unless you have something to biotch about.
Well....now that I saw Alec Baldwin and especially Paul Giamattie ARE in it, I will definitely check it out. Giamatti is one of the best actors of this generation....
Just thinking about this already has the fingernails running across the chalkboard for me.
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAGH!
reliving one's youth on camera might not be a good idea...
no, you don't have to. You have been there.
This movie is for two classes of people: those who never experienced the 80's, and those who loved the 80's.
If you don't fit these two categories, keep your money, get a latte at Starbucks and keep your azz home.
This is pathetic.....old people having a mid-life crisis. Who cast the actors??
It's called a FILM. A fun way to escape unemployment, midless foolsihness in the news and horror across the world.
Who else can play this but people who have lived thru the 80's? You did, but you prob were asleep.
ITS A FRIGGIN MOVIE !!!! ie ENTERTAINMENT !!!! FUN NOT REALITY ENJOYMENT AN ESCAPE FROM EVERYDAY LIFE. not every movie has to be OSCAR worthy to be a good movie. I loved ZOOLANDER because it was a dumb stupid outlandish movie purely made to make you laugh and be entertaining. I also loved Shawshank Redemption quite the different movie.
For the very "serious" people on here DONT GO SEE IT.... but why all the bashing ??? I dont get it.
"Lighten up Fransis"- Sgt Hulka
hahahha the biggest flop of 2012 is here!!! I can see the future!!!razzies are ready!!! I know!! believe me I can see the future....
I figure it will be a big hit. Your theory has holes.
Enjoy yourself. Stop being a tight azz, have some fun in your life, will ya?
i realy think tom is the greatest actor ever and by taking this challange it proves all those haters wrong...we love you tom cruise!!!
Poe's law strikes again?
I agree! normally CAN NOT stand musicals but missing a Tom Cruise movie isn't an option for me. He's a pleasure to watch!
i gave tom a B J when he was in vancouver recently.
he wouldnt let me give him a rimmer or bang him
but!he did mount me and f00k me!!
Thanks for sharing...your dream. We appreciate your humble experience with Mr Cruise.
Now for the truth...
Pathetic! Like a bunch of old timers playing dress. up nostalgia for the 80s. It must be sad to have such a huge ego that one has no self awareness of how VAIN role choices are. Zero contribution to life, enteryainment or society in this contrived dud.
Hmmm. I like Tom Cruise in just about anything, but.....this looks weak. I don't mind a musical, but most as of late have been poorly done. Might rent it, though.
This is going to be the best scientoligist movie since Battlefield Earth
The play was CORNY!!!!! The story is the same as the play cept they got rid of the germans and hippie city planner lady (who was outta place anyway).......the reason this trailer was made is to show that cruise sings in it.....people were demanding they show him singing. This thing will make 200 mill and win tony awards
See it on Broadway,,,that was fun,,this looks corny
I've just seen the trailer...uh, how –what ...ummm, there are well-respected actors in this 'movie'...can't figure out why at all. This movie is just a joke, right? I mean...I'm embarrassed for the actors. It reminds me of Mama Mia...I still don't know why they made that into a movie. Overblown and overhyped and from what I can see, wayyyyy over acted.
Not sure if I will like Tom Cruise as a rock and roll character.
Trailer for movie....interesting...comments...PRICELESS!!!!!! LMAO...hilarious!!!!!
Looks like a Hoot. Those of you who hate it ,without even seeing it ,are of course, idiots.
Idiots? Kind of aggressive aren't we? I don't have to cut a dog turd open to see if it stinks on the inside as well.
Not all movies need to have real meaning Leah. Sometimes movies can just be fun and be entertaining for those who like certain genres. I think this movie will be exactly what it's suppose to be: an escape for two hours while eating popcorn and hearing some fun 80s rock. Everyone relax, in this case it's just entertainment. See something else if you think this movie will be lame.
Some people need to lighten the hell up. Not every single movie needs to be of earth-shattering intellectual significance. I go to the movies to be entertained, not looked down upon by haters who never developed a sense of humor. There are young professionals and then there are elitist, i-wont-condescend-to-talk-to-you-unless-you-have-a-doctorate-or-masters-degree yuppies who live their lives with a stick firmly up their butt.
to THINK they had that much fun without inviting me!
I think it looks AWESOME. Maybe you had to be there (a teen in the 80's) to appreciate this clip. Tom looks yummy. (I can't believe ppl still think he is gay. geezus! grow up). And if the movie is like the clip, it'll be funny, too. As long as they don't have "Freebird" in it, in which case I will puke.
FAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
This is so embarrassing. Gross. Just stop. Now.
Preview looks horrible, dont know why they thought this would do good from putting that trailer together. http://batmanrises.com
Looks. Like. Crap.
Paul Giamatti and a monkey...that makes the movie
I'd rather go to the dentist. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad
Can't wait!
He may be crazy and a lot of haters out there but Tom Cruise has proven to be a VERY good actor. He can do drama and comedy (anyone ever see Tropic Thunder?) The worst part about this movie is putting that chick from Dancing with the Stars in most of the scenes. Minimize her role and let the true actors take over...aka Baldwin, Brand and Cruise.
I completely agree.
A good actor? lLOL! oh yeah, you mean the one where he plays a guy having a tantrum? or the one where production spends millions of dollars for tom cruise to strut around and act cool? ::: yawn:::: not even allthe money in the world can sell this guy. and now this....Pathetic!! But Alec Baldwin playing make believe ... they come off trying to be hipsters. Casting director really failed on this. But of course, they guys buy themselves into roles. It is not about talent.
All of you losers who only have negative things to say about Tom Cruise are simply jealous. He's a very nice man, incredibly talented and uber handsome. Get over yourselves already. He's not going anywhere...YIPPEEEE we love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is nice. My boyfriend worked with him on Vanilla Sky. By all accounts a very nice, generous person, great actor. But this looks hideous – like Glee had mutated monster baby with Dancing with the Stars, Burlesque and Glee. And those wigs alone should be outlawed.
Will definitely wait until the video comes out. From what I just viewed, (in all due respect because it was only the trailer, albeit a long trailer), the script is not too good, etc. Good Luck.
It's probably better to see the stage performance before you make any judgments. The stage version had a lot of energy and fun and certainly wasn't meant to be taken seriously. If you didn;t like the 80's hair band scene, you're not going to like it. Based on the trailer it looks like the focus is on the Stacee Jaxx character (who was more of a secondary character in the play). I will agree that Tom Cruise did not strike me as the best fit for the role. Looking forward to seeing it despight him.
The stage show was fabulous. Drew was the center of the plot and Stacee Jaxx a secondary character. The fact that they turned this into a movie to pimp Tom Cruise is pathetic.
I'm gonna see it.
I hate everyone except sly sadie the wh0re
Worst Movie Ever. As in ever. Have not seen it, of course. Will not see it, of course. And now I will go burn all my records and begin buying Ida Lupino and Andy Williams 8-tracks. Awesome. Thanks Hollywood for making rock and roll lame Lame LAME!!!!
You show 'em clod (meanwhile millions of others will ignore your ridiculous rant and go see it).
2 thumbs up solely for mentioning Ida Lupino 😉
I'll buy it for a dollar- only because of the music though.....
"Anticipated" should be in quotes.
When will this fruit go away and retire...
When he stops being the biggest moviestar on the planet, which is impossible. What is simple though is the fact that the other actors closest to his epic level, i.e Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Daniel Craig could never ever pull off the role of Stacee Jaxx.
How embarrassing. The crazy Islams now have a legitimate reason to hate the west.
Faith Kelly sounds like a lesbeen. Just sayin.
He looks like he is doing number two in that picture.
At least he doesn't go around announcing he's T P.
AWESOME WORK AS USUAL JEREMY!!! We LOVED this trailer! It's aylaws great to work with you! The "Gregory Paul/Blue Shore combination" Is definitely a "win/win" for any bride!!! Can't wait to work with you again!Heidi & Gregory GREGORY PAUL PHOTOGRAPHY
Diiiiiiareah Sammich.in the morning. D000D0000 at supper tiiiime.
This just proves that Tom Cruse can do any roll and look good doing it
Okay so Tom Cruis looks great doing anything, the guy is beautiful, but I've only seen a handful films with him that are very good. He looks great as a rock star, yeah, 6 pack abs, he looks great a fly boy playing volleyball, 6 pack abs, see a theme?
But no can say Tom isn't pretty.
Really Tom Cruise as an 80's rock star? how ludicrous is that. It's as believable as him being a nazi in a movie. Fail.
Our plan is working. No one has figured out the grand leader will organize the space thetans to create the gayest movie of all time.
LMAO...TOO FUNNY.....
The existence of this movie makes me embarrassed to be a white person.
This has nothing to do with your elitist standings as a white man,as a non-white or a man I say kudos to Tom in having some fun and not taking himself to seriously like some of these ppl.on this blog.
Im not a man. My full name is Jeffica. The hospital typist spelled Jessica wrong on my birth certificate.
The fact that you can be embarrassed by a movie makes me embarrassed that you're a human 🙁
This looks SOOOOOO fun! Love the 80's songs, love the cast, Russell Brand looks great in an 80's hairdo and tom cruise looks uber S E X Y as stacie jaxx! I think the director did a fabulous job on this trailer...makes me want to go see it with my girlfriends...F U N!!!!
Just tooooo sad. Embarissingly sad.
Absolutely the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Just GLEE on the big screen with gay scientologist.
This is when all the sad, envious, nobody trolls who hate their own lives come out to bash those that have them. Welcome, Stephen Martin and all your ilk.
so why are you watching a trailer to a musical you fool?
this country has become a Disgrace to the United States of America.
I'd rather watch movies that has some real meaning.. I'd rather, at heart, just watch a classic with my family....
That settles it. Tom Cruise is GAY.
Actually, Glee on the big screen with a gay Scientoligist sounds like a great idea for movie!
