Drew Coup

21 year old Australian actor Sebastian Gregory (“Accidents Happen”) is a leading contender to play Drew Boley in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical Rock of Ages  according to What's Playing

Of the possible casting Gregory says

“Yes, I had a call from my agent that [the producers] wanted to meet for this big Hairspray thing – which turned out to be Rock of Ages. It’s funny, I’m a drummer so to play a singer, out front, would be something different. It’d be fantastic. We’ll see how it goes…

It seems that Gregory’s musically-inclined and apparently has skills as a guitarist, drummer and songwriter explaining his fronrunner status.

Director Adam Shankman has been reworking the Rock of Ages script with Justin Theroux. from show creator Chris D'Arienzo's  first draft

Julianne Hough Mary J Blige Alec Baldwin  and Tom Cruise also star

Carl Levin, Matt Weaver, Scott Prisand, actorTobey Maguire and Jennifer Gibgot will produce. Janet Billig and Hillary Weaver are executive producers.
