Rock of Ages
From Variety
By MICHAEL FLEMING
New Line has won an auction for screen rights to "Rock of Ages," a stage musical that does with '80s rock anthems what "Mamma Mia!" did with Abba tunes.
Chris D'Arienzo, who wrote the book for the Off Broadway tuner, will write the screenplay and direct the film.
The storyline takes place at a Sunset Strip rock club called Rock of Ages, where a man and woman fall in love but get torn apart by the rock lifestyle.
The show is propelled by signature '80s rock anthems popularized by Journey, Twisted Sister, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Foreigner, Bon Jovi and REO Speedwagon.

Hey I went and saw this show about 2 weeks ago and it's AWESOME~!!! the music is fantastic and the story line is fun - the actors did a wonderful job and Constantine Moroulis was excellent. So much fun and of course hearing Wanted just pushed it over the top. If you have the chance to check it out you wont be disappointed.
