Just seen the trailer for Rock of Ages on British tv and no mention of Tom Cruise as star,is this seen as him now a blaze223 May 28, 11:30

I caught it too, you werent watching that dire 'Love Shaft' were you? {nm} TheMackenzie May 28, 12:15

Big Bang Theory i believe {nm} blaze223 May 28, 12:33

I just caught it as well but to be fair, it doesn't mention ANYONE that stars in it. {nm} ggrant May 28, 12:31

the TV spots I have seen do not mention any cast and try to sell it based on the play and the songs (which are listed in the spot) {nm} RazorHawk May 28, 15:01

Paramount thought so in 2006...wait...how did that Mission Impossible 4 do? Catzan May 28, 12:47

He's probably just laying low and trying to distance himself from what will surely be a bomb. {nm} elchan May 28, 13:58

This is what I mean, a film version of a popular Broadway show with a great cast, talented writer and good director.... austpow May 28, 19:16

We have a huge (20 metre high) billboard outside our theatre and T.Cruise isnt one of the 8 people in the cast picture. Lucas73 May 28, 15:54

I suspect younger audiences have no need to see a film featuring the music of Twisted Sister et al. Jane_Citizen May 28, 19:21

I saw Poison in concert and 60% of the audience was 18-30year females who know Brett from 'Rock Of Love' and Celebrity Apprentice {nm} RazorHawk May 28, 20:26

A Poison fan, eh? Who'da thunk it? :) Jane_Citizen May 28, 23:57

Cruise is excellent in the film...however I do not see this as Hairspray of Mama Mia... Latinman4747 May 28, 18:10

I don't think he's really named in the commercials here in America as I recall either.. just references his character name MiyazakiFan May 28, 20:50
