Considering the massive success of Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, it was only a matter of time before fans were graced with a full-length Hannah Montana movie.

According to sources, the film will start production in April and will, of course, star Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus.

While neither Brooke Shields nor Heather Locklear are confirmed for the project, expect celebrity cameos to be part of the picture.

With her burgeoning collection of enterprises â€" from the show to her concert movie to her upcoming clothing line and other products â€" Cyrus is entering Olsen Twins-like world domination. Is this a good thing? Are you excited for her movie?

Meanwhile, in other exciting television-show-being-made-into-a-film news: We couldn't be more psyched about a possible Arrested Development movie.

There's one every year. That movie quote that captures the attention of people everywhere.

I see dead people. I bought you a delicious bass. 

We could go on and on. This year, USA Today is reporting that the catchphrase that's caught on most with Americans is courtesy of Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood: "I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!"

Relatively few people have seen the movie â€" this past weekend, it expanded to about 1,500 theaters and its gross so far is $21.1 million â€" but the dialogue has taken off nonetheless.

A "There Will Be Milkshakes" video, with scenes from the film playing to Kelis' song Milkshake, has recevoed more than 60,000 views on YouTube. Check it out:

What do you think? Can you think of more catchy movie quotes from the past year? 

Emilio Estevez will need a library card for his next movie.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Estevez is prepping The Public, a social drama set in a public library that he wrote and will direct as his follow-up to Bobby.

The story is loosely based on a Los Angeles Times op-ed piece written by Chip Ward, a retiring librarian in Salt Lake City, which discussed the epidemic issue of libraries becoming de facto shelters for the homeless and the mentally ill in light of many social program cuts.

Estevez was on the awards circuit with Bobby, a film that he said brought him "out of the wilderness," when he had a conversation with Harvey Weinstein, whose Weinstein Co. distributed that 2006 film with MGM.

"Harvey said, 'You have a voice and use it. And don't follow up 'Bobby' with something frivolous,' " Estevez said. "That stayed with me. And when I read this piece last April, I thought this could be it."

We now present our favorite movie rumor of the new year:

There's buzz that the an Arrested Development movie might actually be happening! Jeffrey Tambor, who played George Bluth Sr. on the beloved series, said as much during an interview this weekend.

On XM Radio's The Ron and Fez Show, Tambor hinted that development on the Arrested Development movie may be starting soon.

"I think we're gonna make a movie," Tambor said. "I talked to Ron Howard [series executive producer] the other day, and he hinted around that there's a real push to get the movie made, of course, after the strike. And [he asked] was I on board. I said, of course! I'd love doing that!"

Moreover, Juno co-star and Arrested Development leading man, Jason Bateman, confirmed the rumor.

"I can confirm that a round of sniffing has started. Any talk is targeting a post-strike situation, of course," said Bateman. "I think, as always, that it's a question of whether the people with the money are willing to give our leader, Mitch Hurwitz, what he deserves for his participation. And I can speak for the cast when I say our fingers are crossed."

Anna Friel has signed on to star with Will Ferrell in the light-hearted comedy Land of the Lost.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal's Peter Cramer and Eric Baiers are overseeing the project with Brad Silberling directing.

Friel - who stars in the adorable ABC series Pushing Daisies - will play the love interest of Ferrell, a disgraced paleontologist who finds himself in a strange prehistoric world.

Already teeming with young stars - such as Vanessa Hudgens and Scott Porter - the musical coming-of-age dramedy Will is receiving a dose of veteran actors, as well.

Lisa Kudrow and David Bowie have signed on for the film, which focuses on a high school outcast (Liam Aiken from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events) and a popular girl (Hudgens) who form an unlikely bond through a love of music. They put together a group to perform at their school's battle of the bands competition.

Kudrow will play Will's mother. No word on Bowie's role yet.

Julia Roberts, who most recently appeared on the big screen opposite Tom Hanks and Philip Seymour Hoffman in Charlie Wilson's War, has chosen a new project.

The actress will produce and star in a film version of Margot Berwin's upcoming novel Hothouse Flowers for Sony's Columbia Pictures.

The book - and planned movie - tells the story of a newly divorced woman who is dissatisfied with her job at a Manhattan ad agency and heads off on an adventure. Roberts, naturally, will play the divorcee. No release date has been set.

Laurence Fishburne has a star-studded cast for the action feature Armored.

The veteran actor joins Matt Dillon, Columbus Short, Fred Ward, and Skeet Ulrich in the film, which Nimrod Antal will direct.

Jean Reno (The Da Vinci Code, Ronin) and Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes) have also signed on to the movie, which is about on a young armored car guard who is persuaded by his veteran cohorts to empty a truck of its $10 million cargo.

Shooting is already underway in Los Angeles.

As she awaits the opening of her new movie, The Eye, newly knocked up actress Jessica Alba spoke to Comingsoon.net about the prospects of sequels to a pair of well-received movies she's starred in...

CS: What can you tell us about your character in "Sin City 2"?
Jessica Alba: I haven't read a script. I don't know anything about it. Robert (Rodriguez) and Frank (Miller) haven't talked to me about it at all.

CS: How long until we get "Fantastic Four 3"?
Alba: I have no idea. I know the writers strike and the impending actors strike has kind of put a wrench in everything production wise. That film takes a lot of prep, a good six months of prep and about six months to shoot. With the strike, I think, maybe it's put on hold.Read the full interview with Alba now.

Thanks to the writers' strike, Heroes star Hayden Panettiere has a lot of free time on her hands.

And she's using it to star in a couple new films. The latest is called I Love You, Beth Cooper.

The 18-year-old actress will appear at the title character in teen comedy, which will be produced by Chris Columbus (Rent, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets).

As Beth Cooper, Panettiere is a hot cheerleader (typecasting!) that is the object of a nerdy valedictorian's obsession. The pair embark on a series of misadventures after he proclaims his love for her in his graduation speech.

Later this year, Hayden will appear in the drama Fireflies in the Garden alongside Julia Roberts.
