A couple exciting notes for Hannah Montana fans:
Between this big screen version of the Nickelodeon series and the upcoming High School Musical 3, Hollywood appears to be catering to the teen demographic, doesn't it?
Mitchel Musso poses here on the set of the Hannah Montana movie.
The young actor is taking the character of Oliver Oken - which he's played on the television series alongside Miley Cyrus on Nickelodeon - to the big screen for this feature film. It's slated for a release in the spring of 2009.
Mitchel Musso stars as Oliver in the Hannah Montana movie and TV show.
It might not be as anticipated a cameo as that of Tony Stark in The Incredible Hulk, but Taylor Swift is teaming with Miley Cyrus and dad Billy Ray Cyrus for Hannah Montana: The Movie.
"I'm making a cameo," the 18-year-old country singer told People Magazine, "so I'm so excited about that. I'm playing one of my own songs and just in the background of one of the scenes."
Look for Taylor Swift to make a cameo in Hannah Montana: The Movie.
Country group Rascal Flatts will also appear in the film, which is set to hit theatres in 2009. The Hannah Montana movie will deal with the character's taking a trip with her father to her Tennessee hometown, where she gains a perspective on her double life.
Time to get excited, teenage readers:
Producer is underway for Hannah Montana: The Movie. The film, of course, will star Miley Cyrus in her first full-length feature feature, as it's being filmed around Nashville and Los Angeles.
Hannah Montana: The Movie is slated for a Spring 2009 release.
The film also features Hannah Montana series regulars Emily Osment (Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams), Jason Earles (National Treasure), Mitchel Musso (Secondhand Lions) and Moises Arias (Nacho Libre).
Also appearing in the movie? Melora Hardin ("The Office," 17 Again), Margo Martindale ("The Riches," Million Dollar Baby), Barry Bostwick ("Spin City"), Peter Gunn (Ever After) and Lucas Till (Walk the Line).
The film follows Miley Stewart as Hannah Montana's soaring popularity threatens to take over her life. With a little urging from her father, the teenager travels back to her hometown of Crowley Corners, Tennessee to rediscover what's really important.
As if we needed further evidence that Miley Cyrus owned the universe, the teen queen's movie debut - her "Best of Both World" concert film - dominated the box office earlier this year.
Now, the young singer/actress has opened up to MTV about the next Hannah Montana movie.
"[She's] going to Nashville," Cyrus said of the still-untitled flick which begins filming April 12.
Miley, who is the daughter of country crooner Billy Ray Cyrus, is originally from Nashville. She moved to Los Angeles years ago to pursue stardom as the character of Hannah. We'd say it's worked.
As for the upcoming movie, Cyrus said her actual self will shine through a lot.
"It's showing more of the Miley side of life," Cyrus said of the highly anticipated film, which will be released in 2009. "More of the normal girl kind of figuring herself out type thing. It's going to be really cool, really funny."
And really money-making.
