New York Magazine is reporting that Mary J. Blige has been tapped to play the role of strip club owner, Justice, in the film version of Rock of Ages. The role is played onstage by Michele Mais. She could be joining Tom Cruise, as previously reported, who is said to be now eyeing the role of Stacee Jaxx instead of bar owner Dennis Dupree, as was originally reported.

The music that ignited a generation is heating up Broadway in ROCK OF AGES. The classic rock love story of the decade erupts into Broadway's best party, all to the sounds of such feel-good, sing-out-loud songs as Every Rose Has Its Thorn, I Wanna Know What Love Is, Here I Go Again, Don't Stop Believin' and more. This five-time Tony nominated musical is nothin' but a good time.

The show is written by Chris D'Arienzo (writer and director of the upcoming film Barry Munday), directed by Kristin Hanggi (Bare, Pussycat Dolls on the Sunset Strip) and choreographed by Kelly Devine (Jersey Boys - Associate Choreographer).

The film adaptation is being produced by New Line.
