Interview:


Want to know what it was like to film Hannah Montana: The Movie? We caught up with the movie's star Miley Cyrus to get the lowdown! Are kissing scenes embarrassing? What's the message of the movie? And what did Miley add to the story? Read on to discover all...


First things first... There's a rumor going around that you didn't want a Hannah Montana movie. Is that true?

Miley: It is true! At first, I was a little concerned because I wanted to know how the show would work in a movie format. We wanted to make a movie that was more realistic than the show, along with some comedy and romance. I think we did a good job of doing that, but it was a little scary at the start.

Why was it scary?

Miley: Well, this is my first feature film where I'm the lead. I know there's a first time for everything, but I want my first time in everything to be close to perfect! It's not like any other movie because there's a whole back-story in the television show that everyone knows about and we had to be true to that.

Did you have fun filming the movie?

Miley: I was scared out of my mind for half of the movie! Making a film is like learning the ropes all over again. Our television show can be a little unrealistic because it's supposed to be crazy and fun - just like a normal kid sitcom. But a movie is different. It has to be more realistic.

What happens in the movie's story?

Miley: Well, it's about how Hannah and Miley have melted together. Hannah was just this alter ego, but Miley was the normal girl underneath the wig. It's become a bit of a mess because the alter ego is ruining Miley's life - so she is sent back to Tennessee to learn about where she came from and who she really is.

Does she change during the film?

Miley: Miley is growing up in the movie. She's going through hard times and she's trying to find herself - and I think that's a beautiful part of the movie. It's cool to see her change.
