It's official: Russell Brand is set to rock out.
"Rock of Ages" director Adam Shankman took to Twitter to confirm that Brand, long in negotiations for the role, will play Lonny, rock venue owner and narrator, in the big screen adaptation of the hit 1980's, LA rock club-set Broadway show.
"I can officially announce Russell Brand as your Lonny in #rockofagesmovie ! I see a mullet in his future...maybe a Nikki Six?" Shankman tweeted.
Brand joins an already star studded cast. He'll duet with Tom Cruise, who this winter was cast to play megastar Stacee Jaxx, while Alec Baldwin will play Dennis Dupree, a washed up rocker and club owner. Julianne Hough will play the young, naive singer new to LA, and Mary J. Blige will also be in the film. Amy Adams is also in talks to join, to play a journalist who falls for Jaxx. (HUFFINGTON POST)
