Miley Cyrus and Zac Efron to Surf into ‘Gidget’ Remake?
Musical-comedy film envisioned as start of new franchise.
Moviehole reports that per a reliable source Zac Efron and Brittney Snow have been approached to co-star with Disney pop star/actress Miley Cyrus in remake of the 1959 surfer movie, Gidget. Cyrus would play the title role in the movie.
I’m not sure if most people even know about this movie. So here’s some information:
Gidget is a Columbia Pictures feature film starring Sandra Dee, Cliff Robertson, and James Darren in a story about a teenager’s initiation into the California surf culture and her affliated romance with a young surfer. Gidget was one of the first “beach movies” and was followed by two sequel films, various television series, several telemovies, and the spoof Psycho Beach Party. Gidget received one award nomination.
Neither Efron nor Snow have been officially signed to this project.
I think Cyrus would do well in a musical-comedy film. Maybe she’d do a bit better on the musical than comedy side. I’m very interested in a Cyrus/Efron team-up in a movie. Especially if their movie is a musical comedy. I’m just not sue about a Gidget remake.
Miley seems extremely eager to get her movie career going. Having signed onto movie based on the young-adult novel, Wings (with the possibility of it turning into a Twilight-type franchise) and rumors that she’s enthusistically trying to land the role of Batgirl in the next Batman movie.
Do you think that Miley could hang-ten as a young surfer in a Gidget remake? What do you think of Cyrus-Efron movie?
