It will be produced by Disney-based Offspring Entertainment partners Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot with Tish Cyrus serving as executive producer. In the movie, "Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus will be seen portraying a rebellious teenager sent to spend the summer with her estranged father. Whereas the movie is expected to come out in 2010, Sparks' novel itself will be published by Grand Central this fall.
