It’s really over for Hannah Montana
now that its star, Miley Cyrus, is moving on. She’s keeping busy with her latest movie and whipping up music for it, especially since she’s starring alongside her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, for the flick. With The Last Song opening this March, there’s bound to be plenty of promotions to increase the hype.
Aside from the many trailers and the behind-the-scenes snippets given by the 17-year-old star herself, we have the first music video for the movie. The Hannah Montana pop sensation is trying out a slower, deeper tune this time, with the song “When I Look at You.”
It certainly seems like Miley Cyrus is going for a more mature sound to match her desire to get more mature roles. The Last Song was specifically written for her by novelist Nicholas Sparks, so it looks like she’s truly leaving her Hannah Montana and Disney Channel past behind.
Seeing Liam Hemsworth by her side as she plays the piano on the clip below, you can bet this actress has really found that so-called inspiration she refers to at the beginning of the song. The two of them seem absolutely happy in one another’s company, and that’s not just when the cameras are rolling.
Miley talked about the single for The Last Song on a sneak peek of the movie, saying it was just ideal for the movie. “‘When I Look at You’ was actually a song that was going to go on my next record,” the star announced. “We listened to it and went, ‘Oh my gosh, this could not be more perfect.’ It describes the entire movie.”
Well, we won’t be seeing the film until March 31, but we have the video for “When I Look at You” below. Obviously, Miley Cyrus is having fun doing this for a living.
Since the end of Hannah Montana
has been confirmed, there’s bound to be new projects out there for Disney star Miley Cyrus. According to a report by Variety, the 17-year-old pop sensation is currently in talks for a remake of the original French hit LOL: Laughing Out Loud. What’s more, it’s Demi Moore who will supposedly play her mother in the English-language version.
Miley Cyrus will be portraying the role of a 15-year-old girl who was recently dumped by her experienced boyfriend. In the hopes of moving on, she instead pursues his best friend. It’s also revenge, of course.
Meanwhile, Demi Moore will reportedly be the 40-year-old divorcee mom who is struggling to get on with her life. As a single parent, she has quite a lot on her plate. Her relationship with her daughter is fraught with trouble, and things just seem to be getting worse.
LOL: Laughing Out Loud also deals with the youth’s obsession with instant messaging, given the title of the film. It’s going to tie in with the mother-daughter story, certainly Miley Cyrus’ cup of tea.
The original version of the film starred Sophie Marceau and Christa Theret, hitting theaters in 2008. It managed to gross over $20 million. LOL: Laughing Out Loud was written and directed by Lisa Azuelos, who will also be handling the international version.
With Miley Cyrus on board, this remake is bound to be another commercial success for the Hannah Montana star. Since Demi Moore, another big name in Hollywood, is joining her, there’s no doubt LOL: Laughing Out Loud will be drawing in viewers.
It’s another step towards more mature roles for Miley Cyrus, since she’s just wrapped up filming for the Nicholas Sparks-penned movie The Last Song. She’s constantly proving that she’s not just limited to Disney roles, but can branch out into bigger projects.
Now that Hannah Montana has been given an expiration date, actress Miley Cyrus needs other ventures to keep her busy. But these projects come easily for her, like fanmail.
We all know the 17-year-old star is starring in the Nicholas Sparks-penned movie The Last Song later this year. Joining her is boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, who will of course be playing her love interest on the big screen. The two of them recently sat down to give viewers a sneak peek to their film, which will be showing in theaters this April.
Below, you can watch as Miley Cyrus and Liam take us behind the scenes for The Last Song. It may just be for two minutes, but any fan of the Hannah Montana
pop sensation will be satisfied.
Along for the ride are other actors from the movie, one of which is Greg Kinnear, as Miley’s dad who tries to connect with her after many years. Meanwhile, her mother will be portrayed by Kelly Preston. The Last Song also stars Bobby Coleman, Hallock Beals, Nick Lashaway, Carly Chaikin, Nick Searcy, and Kate Vernon.
Here’s the clip, as acquired by On the Flix. For the interview, Miley talks about what the movie is all about.
“The story of The Last Song is about this girl, Ronnie Miller, who kind of started going down the wrong path,” the star announced. “She’s trying to prove a point to her dad, but really, she’s just cheating herself.”
As for the romance bit of the film, Liam Hemsworth explains: “As they get to know each other better, they both open up more and he realizes how great this girl is.”
Miley also talked about the music for the movie, which is of course essential to it. The title already says so.
But what this movie really is about is the star’s departure from her Hannah Montana phase and transition into what she thinks is a more mature role. We’ll see if she pulls it off, when The Last Song hits theaters on April 2 this year.

With her career as Hannah Montana
behind her, it’s difficult to imagine Miley Cyrus as anyone else. Even so, she’s been trying really hard to break free of that character. She’s been making her own type of music and has even appeared on a Sex and the City 2 cameo. Now, she’s all ready to expose her role in the Nicholas Sparks-penned movie The Last Song.
There’s been plenty of buzz surrounding the film ever since the 16-year-old popstar was romantically linked to her co-star Liam Hemsworth. But maybe all that was just for their scenes.
As we expect, it has family drama and it’s a romance. It has music too, and it’s not exactly what Miley Cyrus is famous for. Maybe that’s a good thing?
MTV News has posted the official trailer of The Last Song on their website, noting how transformed Miley Cyrus seems to have become since her Disney beginnings. Even she has noticed the change in herself and declared that this is the direction she’s planning to take in her career.
“I changed a lot when I was in Tybee Island [Georgia, filming 'Last Song'],” Miley Cyrus told the publication. “I feel like art really does imitate life. So just showing this movie, I feel like I’m really showing a part of my growth as a person as well . So I’m really excited for people to see it, just because of what it means to me, personally.”
Well, let’s just see what Miley has in store for her fans on The Last Song. Given the Parental Guidance note before the trailer, we can bet it’s far from Hannah Montana. Will her tweener fans stick around after this?
On The Last Song, Miley plays the title character Ronnie Miller. The musically inclined teen who got accepted into Julliard has been struggling with the divorce of her parents. But she has to spend summer with her estranged dad to “reconnect.” There, she lucks out and meets this volleyball player (Liam Hemsworth), who she falls for.
We all know the boy-meets-girl story, and The Last Song isn’t all that different from that formula. Then again, fans of Miley Cyrus might enjoy it anyway. The movie hits theaters in April next year.
