Alec Baldwin has signed on to play Dennis Dupree in Adam Shankman’s (Hairspray) feature musical Rock Of Ages.

Still in its pre-production stages, the musical has already signed on Tom Cruise as Stacee Jaxx and Mary J. Blige as Justice Charlier. It is rumored that Russel Brand may be joining the line up as well.

After laying low for a certain while amidst controversies involving his personal life, Alec Baldwin has seen a recent surge of popularity after appearing on the hit comedy series 30 Rock created by Tina Fey (Mean Girls).

The movie Rock Of Ages is adapted from the hit Broadway musical of the same name. It follows the romance between a small town girl and a man she meets at a club called Rock Of Ages located at the Sunset Strip. The couple have to try and stay together, while going through a barrage of 80′s themes and music.

As a personal fan of Jack Donaghy (we share the same love for money and power) Alec Baldwin’s character in the show, I am looking forward to this musical.

I can already see the leopard print spandex now…
