“Gidget” to be Resurrected into a feature film with Miley Cyrus - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 07-28-2009, 10:20 AM

A reliable scooper tells Moviehole that pop-muffins Zac Efron and Brittany Snow have been approached to co-star opposite Miley Cyrus in a reboot of the classic “Gidget” film series (You’ll recall they’re the classics that launched Sally Field to fame!). Apparently this is all coming together quite quickly...

Said flick is envisioned to be the first in a long-line of “Gidget” movies. The musical-comedy will feature popstress Cyrus in the titular role, that of a young girl who discovers surfing and love (in that order) during one transitive summer. Efron is, we suspect, being sought to play the love interest.

Now neither Efron or Snow are signed, as far as I can gather, and the producers are merely feeling them out at the moment. Still, thought you'd be interested kids!

Sandra Dee originated the role of Gidget in Paul Wendkos’s 1959 original. The flick was one of the first "beach movies" and was followed by two sequel films, various television series, several telemovies… and lots of imitators. Field took over the role of Gidget in a short-lived TV series.

TRIPLE BOO!!!! Can't believe that they are approaching the adorable and perfect "Gidget" type Brittany Snow, but not as Gidget??? Miley Cyrus?.....I love the "Gidget" franchise, but they are destroying it with Miley......YUCK!...........If anything Miley should be best friend Laroo and Brittany as Gidget.

If they remade the Gidget film with one of those actresses in Disney Channel's semi-videotaped sitcoms (Miley Cyrus), i predict the film could be a critical and box-office failure like Pluto Nash. Also, why the hell would they cast Miley Cyrus in this film? Couldn't they have hired somebody else for the title role?

Talk about reinventing the wheel in a truly AWFUL way.

Quintuple boo! (upchuck upchuck barf vomit yecch!!)

Sextuple BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I'm so sick of Miley and her ubitquitous song "The Climb"--you turn on a country station it's there, you turn on a pop station, it's there......please just go away!!

Gidget was a product of a more innocent time (and played by two icons, Sandra Dee and Sally Field). Some things should just be left in the past.

P.S. Tweety, is "fourple" a word?

I guess it is now.

lol, I got that word from a Brady Bunch episode... while talking to Marica, Jan swore to something, and then emphasized it by saying "I double swear! I triple swear! I..I...I fourple swear" before Marcia corrected her and said that quadruple swear would be the proper term. I don't remember what episode that was... but that's where I got "fourple" from

And you are so right about the timing of the original Gidget movie and today. Some things belong in a certain time and place, and Gidget is one of those things.

I guess I missed that Brady episode - I don't remember that quote.

Yeah, it was one of the early episodes, Jan was "swearing" that she could keep a secret about something... I don't know if it was Marcia's diary or about some boy Marcia had a crush on.
