Hannah Montana: The Movie is a Template:Fy American musical film adaptation of American teen sitcom Hannah Montana. The film was directed by Peter Chelsom with screenplay penned by Daniel Berendsen. The film was produced by David Blocker, Billy Ray Cyrus, Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, Steven Peterman and Michael Poryes. The film stars Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, Jason Earles and Billy Ray Cyrus. The twisted tale tells of how Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana's popularity begins to take over her life. On the urging of her father, Miley takes a trip to her hometown of Crowley Corners, Tennessee to get some perspective on what matters the most in her life.

Filming began in April 2008,[6] much of it occurring in Columbia, Tennessee,[7] and Los Angeles, California,[2][8][9] and was completed in July 2008.[10] The film was released in theaters on April 10, 2009 in the United States and Canada.[11] As the teen sitcom originated on Disney Channel, Disney Channel premiered a teaser trailer of the film during their shows. It will be released August 18, 2009 on DVD[12] and Blu-ray.[13]


Production

Development

On the April 2 episode of her "The Miley & Mandy Show" series on YouTube, Miley spoke to Ryan Seacrest and she spoke on flying to Tennessee in "two weeks" and would be staying for several months. She went to say there would be many guest stars, and herself riding horses and attending school.[14] E! Online reported there was an accident on the set during the filming on June 3, 2008. A huge wind blew a projection screen into a Ferris wheel full of passengers, whom were extras for the movie. Fortunately, there was no serious injury. "When the wind caught it, all the cables were loose. It started [flying]," extra Brenda Blackford told Nashville station WKRN-TV. "I was watching to see which corner of it was gonna hit the Ferris wheel, because it was unavoidable." Miley Cyrus and her father Billy Ray were not on the set when the accident happened. Disney stated: "During a break in the filming of Hannah Montana: The Movie, a minor accident occurred involving a piece of production equipment Fortunately, there were only a few minor injuries. Medical personnel have treated the extras and crew involved. None of the cast was on the set. Filming has resumed."[15] The movie unleashed a $35.0 million dollars into a production budget.

A song called "Backwards" (co-written by Marcel and Tony Mullins and recorded by Rascal Flatts) and a song by Taylor Swift, "Crazier," will be featured in the movie as well as two hit songs by UK rocker Steve Rushton.[16][17]

Disney purchased these domain names for "Hannah Montana: The Movie": "Family Reunion", "Welcome Home", "Off the Charts", "Ultimate Choice", "Where It All Began", "Cross-Country Adventure", and "Old Friends, New Beginnings".[18]

Filming

Filming for Hannah Montana: The Movie began on April 2008 in Los Angeles, California and Columbia, Tennessee.[6] It entered post-production in July 2008, and was released on April 10, 2009.

There is a carnival scene filmed at Smiley Hollow in Ridgetop, TN where Peter Gunn's character hunts for the real Hannah in the crowd and he finds Jackson selling 'Hannah wigs' and everyone around him looks like Hannah from the back so he turns them all around looking for the real one.[19] Also filmed there were a few musical numbers, including "The Climb," and "You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home." 500 paid extras and 1500 volunteer extras were on hand during filming of these scenes.[19]

The movie features two songs by UK artist Steve Rushton, including hit song "Game Over". Steve wrote both songs and performs them at Lilly's birthday party on Santa Monica Pier. In some scenes, Miley will be riding horses.[14]

A scene was filmed in the Cool Springs Galleria Mall (south of Nashville). It was filmed in the woman's shoe department of the Belk store. Miley Cyrus, Vanessa L. Williams, and Tyra Banks were all in the scene. Hannah fights with Tyra over a pair of shoes.[20] Scenes were also filmed at Franklin High School. The school stood in for the fictional Seaview High School in which Miley and Lilly attend.[20]

Soundtrack

Main article: Hannah Montana: The Movie (soundtrack)

Walt Disney Records released the movie soundtrack on March 24, 2009, with songs by Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana, Billy Ray Cyrus, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift and Steve Rushton.[21] The score was originally to be written by Oscar-nominated composer Alan Silvestri, and he penned a new song with Glen Ballard, "Butterfly Fly Away", which is sung in the film. However, he had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict with G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which he was also signed to score. Stepping in was composer John Debney, who recorded his score with the Hollywood Studio Symphony at the Sony Scoring Stage.[22] The album debuted #2 on the Billboard 200 with 137,592 sold first week, and after four weeks claimed the #1 spot.
