Miley Cyrus will star in Disney’s new fairytale film, Wings, based on Aprilynne Pikes’ bestselling novel of the same name. The 16-year-old actress, who shot to fame as Hannah Montana, has been cast as Laurel, a shy, sheltered teen who learns she is a fairy.

How can She be Laural??? She has brown hair and laural has white. Also i don't remember Laral Being described as gay! Also Laural is NOT dumb so the actress who plays her shouldn't be dumb! This is an insult to the book!

I TOTALLY agree with Jessica!! I loved the book and i feel that the person who plays Laurel should actually be a good actress!! There is a right actress to play Laurel, and Miley Cyrus is NOT her. Why can't Disney choose better actors than Miley Cyrus? There's plenty other actresses out there!!!!! I suggest they find them!

wow… disney iz really stupid. BTW miley cyrus will totally ruin this movie and those of you gay “miley lovers” need a reality check. I bet half of you havent even read the book! Laurel is pretty, miley is not. Its just a fact that i think people need to remeber.

Ha wow. I was so excited when I heard that the book was going to be made into a movie. So, of course, did some Googling. Oh, wait! Hold up! Wouldn’t you know, BAM! Miley Cyrus comes up!!!! Totally dissapointed with that decision. I mean really, she’s not a good actress in my opinion. Then I find out it will be produced by Temple Hill Entertainment. Ha! The Twilight movies suck. So thanks very much for screwing with the whole book Temple Hill Entertainment. We all know you’re going to massacre the movie and the whole point of the book. Stupid idiots.

Miley Cyrus is not Laurel. Hello..Blonde, Pale, Pretty, Not a Sl*t!? When I saw her in the last song or w/e..I couldn’t even see her as the character..I saw her as “Hannah Montana”. She’s way to famous. And..nowhere in the bood did it mention Laurel having a cowboy accent!? Also, just like all the other books I’ve read you read the book, they make the movie, everyone reads the book, everyone can’t shut up about the book/movie and then I end up hating it.
Love the book, already hate the movie.
P.S. The author is only making the movie for money. It’s a great book, but half of the things in the book won’t be in the movie. I think that if Aprilynne cared about the book she wouldn’t let it be changed into a movie.

this movie is going to tank, just because of the horrible actress. There are way better actresses to play laurel. I would even rather see Taylor Swift than cyrus. Other stars that I wouldn’t mind…Emma Watson, Lily Cole, Gemma Ward, Dakota Fanning…anyone but MILEY CYRUS. Ugh. I am going to mourn for this book

i totally disagree for miley cyrus being cast as Laurel. I think it’s pathetic that Disney hired the producers of the Twilight Saga movies just so they have a shot at these movies being a world-wide phenomenon like the Twilight Saga. I really hope they realise their mistake in casting Miley as Laurel and choose a more appropriate actress because I just don’t think Miley has what it takes to play this character.

I HATE THE FACT THAT MILEY CYRUS IS GOING TO BE LAUREL!!!! I MAY BE REALLY YOUNG (12) BUT THE FREAKING DIRECTOR SHOULD WAKE UP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT IN THE WORLD E IS DOING!!!! UGH!!!! WHEN I FIND OUT WHO THE DIRECTOR IS I’M SOO GOING TO BE IN HIS/HER NIGHTMARES ALL NIGHT LONG!!!! IF MILEY CYRUS BECOMES THE ACTOR I’M ALSO GOING TO FIND A GUN, GET INTO A COSTUME, AND GO INTO HER HOUSE TO KILL HER!!!! (Well… i wish i could kill her and the director) I LOVE APRILYNNE PIKE’S BOOKS, I REALLY DO!!!! If Aprilynne Pike loves her kids, then she should think about me…. and also ALL of the other (older) people who want to watch this. She is the only other one who can make the changes. I’M A TWELVE YEAR OLD KID IN PAIN!!!! WHY?!?! WHY DOES APRILYNNE PIKE NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT HERSELF?!?! T-T

FOR A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL THIS MIGHT BE WEIRD BUT I HATE MILEY CYRUS!!!! I ACTULLY AGREE WITH ALL OF THE MILEY-HATERS OF EVEREYTHING THEY SAID THAT ONLY TALKS ABOUT THIS IDEA BEING IDIOTIC. I LISTEN TO MILEY’S CDS AND THAT IS IT!!!! MY BFF EMILY EVEN AGREES TOO!!!! SHE ALSO SAID THAT MILEY DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT HERSELF AND ALL SHE WANTS IS TO BE SPOILED ROTTEN. I THINK THAT APRILYNNE PIKE IS THE SAME!!!! I LOVE APRILYNNE’S BOOKS, BUT SHE AS GONE WAAAAAAYY TOO FAR WITH LETTING THE FREAKING BI*** BE AN ACTOR IN A GREAT BOOK!!!! AND APRILYNNE IS ALSO ONE OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO CAN!!!! MAKE THE CHANGES!!!! That is all. BYE!!!!

Miley Cyrus does not look or act anything like Laurel. The only people who are going to see this movie are Miley Cyrus fans not fans of the book.Laural is described as: Blonde,has light green eyes,petit,graceful, and soft spoken. Someone like Annasophia Robb should play Laural

i absolutly LOVE the books
and would like to see them as a movie …
but . if Miley Cyrus is playing Laurel
i think you reconsider turning it into a movie.
i didnt even go to see the last song just because
Miley Cyrus was in it !
PLEASE AprilLynne Do NOT ruin this movie !!

Okay, no offense to Aprilynne Pike or anything but seriously, Miley Cyrus does NOT fit the part at all. If you are a true fan of Wings and Spells and have studied the personality of Laurel, its not even Miley’s appearance that doesn’t fit the character, it’s her personality. Even though she will act, i just can’t help but remember the half naked pictures she posed in, and the pole dancing she performed whenever i see her face. I really enjoyed these books, and casting Miley Cyrus as Laurel will completely ruin it. Is it just because Miley’s mom is going to be the executive producer or what? I for one will not go see that movie if Miley Cyrus is cast in it. I would be seething through the ENTIRE thing. I will be very disappointed if she is cast as Laurel. Yes, Leah I agree! I wanted to go see The Last Song but then I saw Miley’s face and i changed my mind. People who go to see that movie only will because they like Miley Cyrus(who in the right mind would!!) If she does get cast in the movie, the money she gets from it will be from the people who haven’t read the books and the young viewers would be daughters of the blind parents who haven’t been monitoring her sudden plunge into disgusting and inappropriate behavior. Her album covers have gone from sparkly clothing to half clothed. Once again i will be PAINED if Miley Cyrus is cast as Laurel. There are hundreds of other people who would fit, if not perfectly, but MUCH better than Miley Cyrus. A word of advice Miley, God may forgive you but what you do and say WILL follow you for the rest of your life.

I think miley would be good as Laurel, but Sara Paxton would be even better. She has the fairy look down and she’s beautiful! Just take a look at Sara Paxton and see what you guys think.

I am so disappointed in the entire production group responable for allowing Miley(the obnoxious innpptopriate excuse of a child idol promoted by Disney) to be cast as soft spoken, shy, genuine laurel of wings. I lived the magical mind set these books bring to me when I read them and even after knowing about this terrible role casting and then reading it again, never ever ever!!!!! Could I picture Miley. Please let the book speak for itself in this case, if you will the movie will be a masterpeice all on it’s own, it doesn’t need the hype of the overrated Miley! Annasophia Robb should be laurel. Everyone who likes Miley needs to give her a real look and think why is she famous??? Because Disney promoted and pushed the crap out of Hannah Montana!!!!! Get out of the entertainment biz Miley, ur only likely to fail epically!!!!

when you close your eyes can you imagine miley as laurel. because when i do i see a gorgeous girl who just like the other faeries has the looks that even movie stars would kill for. i think that miley will not be the best choice and her mother should have a clue. perhaps to become a blonde she might use her hannah wig since that is the only good thing thats ever gonna happen to her. before they did the casting for it did they read the book to see how laurel looks or they just chose her because her mom is producing. here is a great idea why doesn’t miley’s mom cast billy ray cyrus in the movie he is already a terrible actor just like his daughter that way they make the movie a family business and they make as much money as they can.
when fans of the book go watch the movie can they see past the recent scandals and pictures of miley to actually enjoy the movie. because i know i won’t.
plus most if not all of the twilight cast were unknown prior to the series of the movies so its not necessary to bring what they think is a ‘big name’ to make something out of the movie because the story is amazin as it is.

didn’t miley want to move on from disney so she can focus on her personal image and find out who she wants to be in her life after the hannah phase. if that the case she should leave the disney movies for someone else.
there are a lot of disney starlets who can easily make a better laurel
