Miley Cyrus Sprouts ‘Wings’ for Disney

On July 15th, 2009

Miley Cyrus is still hooked to Disney and I don’t blame her either because Disney has acquired screen rights to the young adult novel “Wings.”  Disney has plans to develop the bestselling Aprilynne Pike story as a star vehicle for Miley Cyrus.

Cyrus will play Laurel, a 15-year-old who grows up sheltered and home-schooled in a small town. Adjusting to a big high school is difficult, and her suspicion that she’s not like the other kids becomes a reality when she sprouts a pair of wings and learns that she’s a fairy.

“Wings” hit the bookshelves in May of this year,  the first book of a planned four-book series.

Cyrus is filming The Last Song, a Julie Anne Robinson-directed adaptation of the novel that Nicholas Sparks wrote as a vehicle for Cyrus.

    Great book good adventure fantasy and Miley seems suited to play Laurel. I hope they put a big budget towards this film it will need it in order to project the fantasy of trolls and faeries.

    A big budget would be a marvel experience to see. Her mother, I believe, is one of the producers and hopefully the Cyrus clan will have their say and really make a great movie.
