Bryan Cranston Next In Line For Rock Of Ages?

Casting News, News, Projects

Rock of Ages is getting a bigger and better cast by the week, it seems. The latest cast member to join?

Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad

Cranston is in talks per Variety to join the cast, which already includes Tom Cruise and Catherine-Zeta-Jones (amongst others), in the latest film to be added to his work load. After a minor role in The Lincoln Lawyer earlier this year, Cranston has also nabbed the lead villain role in the Colin Farrell led remake of Total Recall and has parts in Larry Crowne, Contagion and John Carter of Mars.

Cranston would be playing the Mayor of Los Angeles.

What does this mean? This cast is getting bigger and more high profile with each new addition. Expectations are also going to be ratcheting up high, as well, because you can’t have a cast with this much talent and a stage show that’s been so critically acclaimed without the bar being raised exponentially higher.
