Diego Gonzalez Boneta to Headline Rock of Ages
Tue, April 5, 2011 
Director Adam Shankman and Warner Brothers are following a tried and true formula with Rock of Ages. Fill up the supporting cast with a bounty of well-known and recognizable actors and at the center of the piece is an unknown for your lead.
After a long search, Diego Gonzalez Boneta (whose credits consist of TV shows like 90210 and Pretty Little Liars) has been selected to headline WB's big musical, set for a June 1, 2012 release. He'll play lead character Drew Boley who moves out to Los Angeles to, what else, start a singing career.
He joins a cast that includes Alec Baldwin, Mary J. Blige, Russell Brand, Tom Cruise, Paul Giamatti and the equally lesser-known Julianne Hough. Amy Adams remains a question-mark, but given her recent commitment as the new Lois Lane I'm not going to hold my breath. Since both are Warner Brothers productions and both dropping next year, it's altogether possible to work out a schedule for her though.
