The multi-talented Miley Cyrus, who will next be heard in animated adventure Bolt, will star in an untitled Disney film that is being tailor-made for the Hannah Montana star by author Nicholas Sparks, according to Daily Variety.
Sparks is writing an untitled novel and simultaneously working on a screenplay adaptation for the film, which will be produced by Disney-based Offspring Entertainment partners Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot.
Gibgot said the project came about after Disney Production EVP Jason Reed met with the actress, who is slowly broadening her image and transitioning to adult fare. She reportedly mentioned "A Walk to Remember" as an example of the type of project she is interested in.
Sparks came back with a premise for a novel that intrigued Cyrus, her family and the producers. They are keeping the plot under wraps, however, it is said to be a drama that touches on family and romance.
The author's books The Notebook, "A Walk to Remember" and "Message in a Bottle" were previously turned into star-driven films, with the Richard Gere-Diane Lane starrer Nights in Rodanthe coming out later this month.
