Miley Cyrus is about to take another step in her burgeoning transition from child star to mainstream leading lady. The singer, whose Can't Be Tamed album comes out on Monday, is in talks to star in the big-screen adaptation of the thriller "Wake," part of a trilogy of young-adult paranormal novels written by Lisa McCann.
According to the The Hollywood Reporter, Cyrus, 17, is attached to star in the film, which is being adapted for the screen by "Disturbia" co-writer Christopher Landon. (The movie is being co-produced by MTV Films.) "Wake" is the first in a trilogy of novels by McCann that chronicle the adventures of 17-year-old Janie, a teenager who has been able to see into other people's dreams since she was 8 years old. For the most part, the dreams have been of the falling/drowning/forgetting-your-pants variety, but when she begins visiting the disturbing nightmares of a local pothead named Cabel, she realizes she that the only way to survive is to go from being a witness to an active participant.
The film has sequel potential, as the adventures of Janie and Cabel continue in the follow-up novels "Fade" and "Gone," and all three New York Times best-sellers have been optioned by MTV Films and Paramount. According to the Reporter, Cyrus' commitment to "Wake" is contingent on the finished script.
