Miley Cyrus Lands the Lead Role in Wake
Posted 06.18.10 by reelz
Teen sensation Miley Cyrus continues her quest to breakout of kiddieville and into adulthood, and is now attached to an adaptation of a paranormal thriller novel called Wake.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Paramount and MTV Films are adapting the movie from young-adult author Lisa McMann and that they've hired scripter Christopher Landon (Disturbia) to put it together for the screen.
Here's what the back of the book says it's about.
Not all dreams are sweet. For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people's dreams is getting old. Especially the falling dreams, the naked-but-nobody-notices dreams, and the sex-crazed dreams. Janie's seen enough fantasy booty to last her a lifetime. She can't tell anybody about what she does -- they'd never believe her, or worse, they'd think she's a freak. So Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she doesn't want and can't control. Then she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is more than a witness to someone else's twisted psyche. She is a participant...
Sounds a bit like Inception, huh? Although like all recent teen novels these days, there are also heavy similarities to Twilight. Wake is the first of three novels with titles like Fade and Gone that continue Janie's dream investigations with her boyfriend Cabel. Paramount and MTV have nabbed the rights to the entire series in hopes of a franchise. We shall see.
