The actor, who will be seen in the fall in "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy," will play the role of Mitch Miley in the movie musical. Miley, a role not in the Broadway musical, is the head anchor for a network news program.

Adam Shankman directs and choreographs the star-studded Warner Bros./New Line feature that is currently in production in Miami and is scheduled to arrive in movie theatres around the country June 1, 2012.

Director Shankman is also inviting fans of the musical to be part of a July 18 filming of a concert scene for the film, which will be shot in Fort Lauderdale, FL. A notice on the film's Facebook page reads, "Come and bring your friends to all be extras (16 years and older only please), and join us on the 'Rock of Ages' set, and rock out like it’s 1987 with our cast to the sounds of such hits as 'Wanted: Dead Or Alive' & 'Don’t Stop Believin’.'"
