Check, he’s even doing the hand thing and everything!

Believe me, many things can be said about Tom Cruise and his weird ways. But the oke does have a knack for pulling off some really interesting movie roles. He is currently filming a rock version of Mamma Mia, called Rock of Ages – and yes, he’ll sing in it as well!

How cool? THIS COOL!

The film is based on a stage play by the same name. According to Wikipedia, it is a rock/jukebox musical, built around classic rock hits from the 1980s, especially from the famous glam metal bands of the decade. The musical features songs from Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Asia, and other well-known rock bands. Tom plays the part of Stacee Jaxx.

The release date is only a year from now, but Tom is joined by Alec Baldwin, Mary J. Blige and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the cast so you might as well start to get excited. Baldwin even tweeted this from set:

“There are some things that are happening on this movie that are going to BLOW… YOU…AWAY. I was off work today and went to watch TC shoot. He killed it. I mean, it was beyond great.”
