Could Miley Cyrus Be Making Movie In NC?
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Hundreds of people could find jobs when Miley Cyrus begins shooting her new movie – but who gets them depends on where it’s filmed.
North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue scheduled a news conference Wednesday at EUE/Screen Gems studios in Wilmington to announce a project her office said was “expected to create hundreds of jobs.” But the event was canceled, and the state Commerce Department said more time was needed to work out the project’s details.
Perdue later told the the Star-News of Wilmington the announcement involved the Cyrus movie “The Last Song,” based on a script by New Bern author Nicholas Sparks.
“I was hopeful to say that it was coming and now I don’t know that I’ll get to say that,” Perdue told the newspaper.
She said Georgia also is trying to get the movie, which is being distributed by Walt Disney Co. Disney also is behind the “Hannah Montana” television series and movies that made the 16-year-old Cyrus a ‘tween phenomenon.
“Nobody knows what’s going to happen. … I don’t know what figures they got from Georgia, but Georgia wants them badly, and we want them badly,” Perdue said. “And by Monday, there’ll be four or five other states that want them badly.”
