Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus will be staring in a new Disney fairy tale. The company has gotten the rights to Aprilynne Pike's young adult novel Wings and is developing the film especially for Miley.
She will play Laurel, a 15-year-old growing up in a sheltered home in a small town. She struggles to adjust to high school life when she attends a large school after being home schooled all her life. Laurel discovers she is not like the other kids when she grows a pair of wings and learns that she is a fairy.
Miley's mother Tish Cyrus will executive produce along with Temple Hill, the same company that produced Twilight. The novel Wings is the first of a planned four book series.
Currently, Miley is shooting the film The Last Song which is an adaptation of the Nicholas Sparks novel. Sparks co-wrote the script as a vehicle for the young actress.
