Rock of Ages is one of the more unusual entries on this summers movie slate. The film, which hits theaters on June 15, is based on the jukebox musical of the same name that pays homage to the music of Journey, Twisted Sister, Bon Jovi, and a bevy of other 80s-era hard rock. On Broadway, the songs are the real stars of the show. But the film is top-lined by Tom Cruise, one of the biggest movie stars in the world. Most importantly, in the role of unpredictable rock star Stacee Jaxx, Cruise did his own singing for the movie (as did co-stars like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, and Malin Akerman), which means that the soundtrack album is going to be a much-coveted collection. The soundtrack will be available on June 5, and it will feature an incredible 20 tracks worth of hard-rocking, lighter-waving goodness, kicking off with Cruises take on Guns N Roses Paradise City and ending with an all-hands-on-deck rendition of Journeys Dont Stop Believin that features Cruise, B...

Tom Cruise is likely to film a 'Top Gun' sequel before 'Mission: Impossible 5'. The iconic actor is reportedly close to signing a deal to appear in a follow-up to the 1986 movie about an elite US flying school for fighter pilots with Paramount, and the studio's president Adam Goodman has confirmed wheels are in motion to create the film. He told The Hollywood Reporter: "We'll likely make a 'Top Gun' sequel with Tom Cruise before the next 'Mission: Impossible'. Jerry Bruckheimer will produce with Tony Scott returning to direct. All parties are moving ahead. We've hired Peter Craig to write the script." Speaking about the film previously, Tom confirmed it would have a similar "tone" to the first instalment, but would not give away any details about the storyline. He said: "We're working on it. I hope we can figure this out to go do it again. If we can find a story that we all want to do, we all want to make a film t...

Tom Cruise's daughter Isabella has moved out of the family home to a tough area of Los Angeles. The 19 year old has left the actor's A$27.2million seven-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills to the Los Angeles wholesale district, dubbed 'Skid Row', to be with musician Eddie Frencher. In the past six months there have reportedly been dozens of assaults, robberies and two rapes in an area close to where they are living. However, Isabella - who, along with her 17-year-old brother, Connor, was adopted by Tom with his ex-wife Nicole Kidman - is set on living with Eddie and they are even said to be considering marriage. A source said earlier this year: 'Eddie and Bella have been dating for some time but have deliberately kept their romance under wraps. The couple decided to go public at Connor's birthday party recently because Eddie and Bella have discussed marriage. 'They won't be getting married anytime soon but they are getting pretty serious very quickly.' ...

Six years ago it looked like Tom Cruises career was on the downturn. A few PR missteps and the underperformance of Mission: Impossible 3 at the US box office ($135 million) led to his production deal at Paramount Pictures being scrapped after a very public ticking off from the Viacoms head honcho Sumner Redstone.The stars seven film, $100 million-plus streak, was foiled when Robert Redfords political drama Lions For Lambs scored just $15 million, and then Valkyrie and Knight and Day both failed to hit the magic $100 million mark at the domestic box office. Naysayers were spreading the word that Cruises twenty-five year reign at the top of the Hollywood food chain had finally come to an end. Then Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol opened in December and scored a massive $209 million at the US box office, and an amazing $693 million globally a franchise and career best for Cruise. Suddenly Cruise was hot again-red hot. Hes already got the potential franchise starter One Shot (o...

Image Credit: Michael Tran/FilmMagic.com Tom Cruises new sci-fi epic Oblivion has just started shooting, but Universal is already unveiling footage from the secrecy-shrouded project. Its very rare when you feel equally excited about the words in a script and the visuals from a director, but Oblivion offers that combination, said Universal Pictures chairman Adam Folgeson. Its one of the most beautiful scripts weve ever come across. The clips previewed at CinemaCon, the annual Las Vegas convention for theater owners, were a combination of early concept art, rough animation, and unfinished dailies. It does not begin to demonstrate how spectacular the film will look, Folgeson said. And it gives you virtually no idea what the film is about. Well, that last part isnt exactly true. While there wasnt any outright exposition, and the overall plot remains oblique, the scene gave us a small taste of the strange, futuristic world this film will explore, and it confirmed some speculation about the...

Tom Cruise is seen at the premiere for the latest Mission: Impossible film, Ghost Protocol, in this December 2011 file photo. ( WENN.com ) The sequel to 1986 classic Top Gun is soaring ahead -- Paramount studios' top man insists Tom Cruise is on board to hit new heights as an ageing Maverick. Cruise was thrust onto the A-list thanks to his role as the cocky fighter pilot in Tony Scott's 1986 blockbuster and now movie executive Adam Goodman has confirmed the star is set to don the flight jacket once again. He let the big news slip during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter about a fifth Mission: Impossible film, stating, "We'll likely make a Top Gun sequel with Tom Cruise first. Jerry Bruckheimer would produce, with Tony Scott returning to direct." Goodman adds, "All parties are moving ahead."

"Top Gun 2" is one of those potential sequels that has movie writers threatening to eat their shoes . Yet the film appears closer to take-off (groan, but ding!) than even the next "Mission: Impossible" movie. That's the word from Paramount Film Group president Adam Goodman, who told THR in a recent interview that "Top Gun 2" is coming soon . When asked about another "Mission: Impossible" feature, Goldman allowed that it wasn't on the front-burner at the moment. "We'll likely make a 'Top Gun' sequel with Tom Cruise first. Jerry Bruckheimer would produce, with Tony Scott returning to direct," he said. "All parties are moving ahead. We've hired Peter Craig to write the script." Craig was hired back in March to replace the hired-in-October-of-2011 duo of Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz ("X-Men: First Class"). Miller and Stentz were too busy with other projects...

A sequel to Tom Cruise 's hit action film Top Gun is officially in development, it has been revealed. Rumours of a follow up tp the 1986 blockbuster emerged last year, with Cruise saying that a sequel will happen only if the script is good . Paramount executive Adam Goodman confirmed that the project is officially in pre-production in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter . Talking about a possible fifth instalment of the Mission: Impossible series, Goodman said: "We'll likely make a Top Gun sequel with Tom Cruise first. Jerry Bruckheimer would produce, with Tony Scott returning to direct... All parties are moving ahead." The Town writer Peter Craig has been tapped to write the script. The original Top Gun starred Cruise as Maverick, a cocky fighter pilot opposite Val Kilmer and Kelly McGillis . The movie also featured Anthony Edwards, who would later go on to star in ER , Tim Robbins and Meg Ryan. Watch the original trailer for Top Gun below:

This story originally appeared in the May 4 issue of The Hollywood Reporter. After years of trailing its studio rivals in market share, Paramount zoomed to No. 1 in 2007 due in large part to Transformers and a handful of other titles overseen by DreamWorks president of production Adam Goodman . A year later -- amid its otherwise acrimonious split with DreamWorks -- Paramount persuaded Goodman to join the studio, promoting him to Paramount Film Group president a year after that. The Chicago native, good-natured but a tough-as-nails negotiator, hasn't disappointed, and the studio has stayed at the top of the industry in worldwide box-office grosses -- in a close rivalry with Warner Bros. -- and placed No. 1 in 2011 with $5.2 billion. Goodman, 39, hasn't been afraid to upend longtime Hollywood practices by eliminating perks like office fridges stuffed with groceries for favored producers, consolidating studio ranks and completely reshaping the low-budget space with Paranormal Act...

With "Rock of Ages," Tom Cruise is aiming to show audiences a different side of himself. Literally. In the first scene of the upcoming musical, the actor will reveal his backside, says director Adam Shankman. Cruise's buttocks have made on-screen appearances before, in "Far and Away," "Jerry Maguire" and "Eyes Wide Shut."But at 49, he's still not ashamed of showing off a little skin, said Shankman. "We were filming a scene and I told him, ''You do know when I come around, I'm gonna see your [butt]?'" the filmmaker recalled this week in Las Vegas, where he was on hand at the CinemaCon theater owners convention to promote the June release. "And he's like, 'Is there any way to shoot around it?' And I said, 'No.' And he said, 'How is it?' And I said, 'It's fantastic.' And he said, 'OK, well then let's shoot it.'" In "Rock of Ages," an Cruise play...

One of the biggest surprises at Paramount's CinemaCon presentation was when they decided to show some of the first footage from Tom Cruise's upcoming stint as Lee Child's popular crime novel character Jack Reacher, who has appeared in sixteen books to date. For a long time, the movie was called One Shot , the title of Child's ninth Jack Reacher book, but those words were never to be said or seen during the presentation, so there's a good chance the movie is now merely called "Jack Reacher." Or maybe they're still trying to figure that out. Co-written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who most may know as the writer of The Usual Suspects and who hasn't directed a movie since 2000's Way of the Gun , the movie had been kept fairly quiet while shooting in Pittsburgh last year, but finally getting to see Cruise embody this character is very exciting and Paramount's Vice Chairman of Distribution Rob Moore said they're hoping this will b...

If Tom Cruise gives you the option of backing off before he kicks you squarely in the crotch take it. Monday nights (ahem) kickoff to CinemaCon, the annual theater-owners convention in Las Vegas, revealed the first footage of Cruise as a street-fighting man, playing the rugged drifter Jack Reacher in next Decembers crime drama One Shot . Lets just say hes not interested in a fair game of fisticuffs. The scenes arent being released yet, but EW has all the details after the jump. Based on the best-selling novels by Lee Child, Cruises casting last summer irked some fans of the books because Reacher, a former Army police officer, is described as being 6-foot-5 and weighing around 250 pounds. Hes a hulk of a man, roaming from town to town under various aliases, and turning vigilante when his sense of right and wrong is offended. In a taped intro from the set of his sci-fi film Oblivion , currently shooting in Baton Rouge, Cruise acknowledged the physical differences, but said he had Child...

This summer, the city and the cinema will be built on rock and roll when " Rock of Ages " packs its ax, journeying from Broadway to a theater near you. Set in Los Angeles and featuring the biggest jams of the '80s, the movie musical follows busboy/ aspiring rocker Drew Boley (played by Diego Boneta ) as he falls for new-in-town Sherrie Christian (played by Julianne Hough ) and lands a gig opening for rock legend Stacee Jaxx ( Tom Cruise ). All the while, greater forces are at work trying to convert the drug- and sex-fueled Sunset Strip into a safer, gentler piece of prime real estate, much to the chagrin of the bandannaed masses.
