As a genetically engineered Disney project the singer/actor combo is pretty standard. They nearly disqualify the “singers shouldnt be actors” rule because they tend to be equally good at both things. Which for the most part is “not very”.
But Miley Cyrus has taken her cutesy pop and tv Dis-com show to teen popularity including a Feature Film based on the property. So will we see the Hanna Montana character again on the big screen? Not if Miley has anything to say about it. But she is up for more movies.
“We got really lucky with having the material to make one movie,” Cyrus said in an interview Monday. The film reveals Hannah Montana’s identity to the world in a way Cyrus says is “very clever” and diminishes the chances of a sequel — but doesn’t dampen the future of the popular Disney TV show.
Even though I am double the target demographic I cannot deny her domination of the teen pop world. And no doubt there will be people who like to jump that bandwagon to hate on her, but I do find a few of her songs very catchy.
Her upcoming Hanna Montana movie will be much different from her last foray on the bigscreen which was just a stage concert in theaters that combined her tv character’s music and her own. (Costume changes included) But this will serve as a turning point for her show. In the program, normal highschool student Miley has a secret identity as popstar Hanna Montana. The film will not end the series, but will change it as the film will serve to expose the secret.
Her future projects will step away from the role she is famous for, which is a smart move if she ever wants to outgrow the Mouse. But in a glimpse of brutal honesty Cyrus said she is waiting to see “a good actress or not, or if I’m just good at playing myself. Which might just be the case.
