Miley Cyrus gets 'Wings' at Disney - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 07-14-2009, 11:08 PM

Disney has acquired screen rights to the young adult novel "Wings" and will develop the bestselling Aprilynne Pike title as a star vehicle for Miley Cyrus.
Temple Hill partners Marty Bowen and Wick Godfrey will produce. Tish Cyrus will be executive producer. It's Temple Hill's first foray into supernatural fare since "Twilight."

Pic will be developed for Cyrus to 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. Published in May, the novel is the first of a planned four-book series.

The deal continues Disney's relationship with Cyrus beyond "Hannah Montana." She is currently shooting "The Last Song," a Julie Anne Robinson-directed adaptation of the novel that Nicholas Sparks wrote as a vehicle for Cyrus. Sparks wrote the script with Jeff Van Wie.

UTA brokered the deal with Writers House.

The only "Wings" I want is the Tim Daly/Steven Weber version.

Has Miley agreed to star in this movie?
