Tom Cruise is channeling his inner rockstar in this first released photo of the upcoming film adaptation of Broadway's Rock of Ages.

"Ladies and gents: first look at tom cruise as stacee jaxx! First day of shooting!" director Adam Shankman tweeted on Friday with the picture.





In the big-screen version of the Tony-nominated musical, Sherrie, played by Julianne Hough, is a small-town girl who moves to Los Angeles to follow her dreams of becoming an actress.

There, she catches the eye of charming but arrogant star Stacee Jaxx (Cruise). The cast also includes Catherine Zeta-Jones, Alec Baldwin, Paul Giamatti, Bryan Cranston and Mary J. Blige.



The film will feature hit songs from '80s bands Bon Jovi, Styx, Twisted Sister and Poison.

Tom Cruise is almost 50!!!

The jukebox musical Rock of Ages is one of the cheesiest and most-fun Broadway shows around -- they sell 16 oz. cans of Coors Light, for crying out loud! -- so if fans had concerns about the big-screen, big-budget adaptation of the little-musical-that-could, they were probably warranted.

Of course, they were also likely blown completely away after watching the first trailer for Adam Shankman's Rock of Ages. Goodness! They built this city on rock and roll, Journey covers and what might be Tom Cruise's most-fun performance since Magnolia.





What else to say about this besides COME OUT RIGHT THIS SECOND SO WE CAN ALL SEE IT AND ENJOY!



Rock of Ages is the story of a small-town girl (Julianne Hough) who comes to Los Angeles during the 1980s with stars in her eyes and winds up caught in a world of rock and roll.

Suffice it to say, things don't go totally as planned -- which is what makes Rock of Ages so great.





Co-starring:

Alec Baldwin
Russell Brand
Catherine Zeta-Jones (twirling the lady-version of an evil mustache to comical delight)
Diego Boneta
Paul Giamatti
Malin Akerman
Mary J. Blige
Hough





Rock of Ages arrives in theaters on June 1, 2012.

Don't stop believin'...
