TwitterMiley Cyrus to follow Mandy Moore's lead in Nicholas Sparks movie
Say buh-bye to "Hannah Montana."
Miley Cyrus is now trying to mimic Mandy Moore's film career path. Which raises the question: Is that really such a good idea?
Variety is reporting that Cyrus will star in a new film being tailor-written for her by author Nicholas Sparks, the author of Moore's "A Walk to Remember."
According to Variety, Sparks is writing an untitled novel and screenplay for Cyrus. And her mom Tish Cyrus gets to be exec producer. And, just like Moore broadened her appeal as an actress in "Walk," Cyrus will also only act -– not sing -- in the new film.
However, we want to go on record hoping that there will not be a "License to Wed" in Miley's future.
Sparks told Variety that Miley Cyrus and her family "were familiar with his past work, including "The Notebook, "Message in a Bottle," and his new "Nights in Rodanthe," starring Diane Lane and Richard Gere, due out on Sept 26.
Disney exec Jason Reed met with Miley, who mentioned admiring "A Walk to Remember," and before you can say two of those "7 Things I Hate," Sparks had an idea about a romance/family drama combo that pleased Cyrus, her family and the producers.
No word on plot yet. But we can safely assume/predict the film will be set in a small Southern town and involve a close-knit family and a precocious, outspoken teenage daughter who is maybe growing up a little too fast and finally realizes the importance of family and faith before it's too late. The teen lead will probably have a very close BFF, and there will definitely be a hot hunky boy in there, as well as a boy who maybe secretly adores the spunky girl but she doesn't feel that way about him so he settles for being her pal.
If Sparks is smart, he may want to juice it a little with some "Gossip Girly" Blair-versus-Serena competitive teen-girl edge. We don't want the Southern molasses to be laid on too thick, please.
Will you go see Miley in Nicholas Sparks' movie? C'mon, tell us!

I love Nicolas Sparks but I'm not sure about Miley playing one of his charactors or why he has decided to write a story catered to her.
In what world is Mandy portraying a character from one of Nicholas Spark's books the same as Miley getting a script catered to her? I just finished reading Spark's The Choice. His books move me and I would watch the movie just because he wrote it but that does not guarantee that the movie will be good.
Probably not! Since the first day I seen her show Hanna Montana she has gotten on my nerves. She is loud, not very pretty (she is still a little girl) and has problem acting like a lady. I do have compassion for her. She is in the world of "grown up children and doesn't stand much of a chance. Sure hope her parent know what thier doing.
Yes! I will so watch Miley in that movie. Of course.
I will definitely go see Miley as one of his characters or in his new movie or whatever. I love Miley. She's a great actress.. she's just made mistakes. But everyone has, just hers were made worse than they actually were. I mean honestly, I could name alot of kids her age who have taken pictures like that. Anyway, I would FOR SURE go see her in the new movie!:D And I'll read the book too. I love Nicholas Sparks. Best author in the world!:D:D:D A Walk to Remember, The Wedding, The Notebook, Dear John and The Choice= My favorite books.
I love Mandy Moore as an actor and a singer. She's a great actor, and her performance in A Walk to Remember was amazing.
Nicholas Sparks is one of my very favorite authors. But the whole Miley thing? I don't think it'll be a hit movie, to be honest. Miley- I'm not a fan of her. I don't think she compares with Mandy.
Absolutely not - I will not pay to watch a self proclaimed Diva who thinks she some how deserves everything handed to her. Mandy Moore has real talent - worth recognizing, Miley does not - andMandy was not a product for sale going to the highest bidder , as is Miley and the entire Cyrus clan proves to be. Billy couldn't make his success last - so now uses his talentless daughter to get gigs..really very sad
I will definitely see Miley star in that movie.I love Miley Cyrus.She is my fave actress and singer. Miley is also my ROLE MODEL.I love every one of her songs and own all of her albums and the movies shes in!
why do people have to hate Miley.she never did anything to them.Im a super obsessed miley fan and im turning 15 in 6 months.I will always be her #1 fan in the whole wide world forever and ever.
Jen,MILEY is not talentless.I know alot of people who've made way bigger mistakes that are worse both her age,my age and both younger and older.
p.s
she's super talented.yes i may be 14 but i will b 15 pretty soon(6 months)and i know talent when i see talent .please just LEAVE MILEY ALONE!I love her.
