Miley Cyrus & Disney Produce ‘All American Girl’ Movie
By Allie | April 2, 2008
The popular teen novel ‘All-American Girl‘ by Meg Cabot, has been taken back off the shelf by Disney and is once again going into production.
The book was previously optioned in 2004 with Raven Symoné considered for the starring role. She would have played the part of Samantha Madison, a girl who gains nationwide attention after saving the life of the President.
After some dispute over casting decisions and the screenplay, the rights to the book were returned to Cabot. Now the movie is back on track, and rumor is that ‘Hannah Montana‘ star Miley Ray Cyrus, has been asked to play what would have been Symoné’s role.
She is currently set to star in a film version of her Disney television show, and Disney hopes to launch her into movies further by casting her in ‘All-American Girl’ with a release date of early 2010.”

I loved that book and i think Miley will ruin the movie if she ends up being in it.

miley come up with your own stayl and live lindsay lohan stayl alon like you but no no no no stik to the staf you know

Miley is a great actress , I think she just rocks, All American Girl would be great for her, except if there’s a sequel cuz the book(sequel) has some sex scenes and all that stuff so that would be the a problem for her
April 6th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Actually, Meg Cabot denies this on her site http://www.megcabot.com/diary and insists she still has the rights to the movie. Just to let you know.
April 7th, 2008 at 8:11 am
She can’t! The part’s not right for her, she’s too…dainty to be Sam. Sam wears black 24/7 Miley might have convulsions if she does that.
April 7th, 2008 at 9:38 am
I would barf is Miley would play the leading part of such a good book.. She would make it the worst acting-in-movie of the century! personally I do not think she dan sing, dance or act, so she better just LAY OFF this movie…
Im glad Meg Cabot denies this rumor though=)
April 7th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
ewwwww
miley’s personality does not match sam @ allll!!!!
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
i would die if she does be sam!!!
i’m sure that movie would not sell even a copy!
April 7th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Everyone is right!! Miley crus should not play the part…. HOLLYWOOD noes better. Ew even thinkin bout her play the part is just fake, i dont know why little kids look up to her. SHEEE even said she has a boring lifE!!!!!

April 9th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
anyone BUT miley!!!!
please!!!!
i HATE her!!!
i’ll even give you reasons:
1 Sam wears all black and miley dosent
2 there personility dosen’t fit a tiny bit
3 sam donsen’t like spotlight too much but miley practically eats spotlight
4 sam has red hair and miley dosen’t
5 sam has realy curly hair and miley dosent
6 sam dosen’t have crooked teeth like miley
7 sam dosen’t have a southern accent like miley
so over all
miley cyrus should NEVER be acting as sam and should never come on the movie!!!!
April 10th, 2008 at 3:39 am
did you know that miley is crashing on nick but nick daz not like her at all
April 12th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Yeah, I really don’t think that Miley Cyrus will fit the role of Samantha Madison in the production movie. Seriously, and personally, I think it’s because I just don’t feel her vibe.
But it’s just my opinion. And I REALLY DO THINK THAT SHE WILL never FIT THE BIG ROLE!!!
Raven Symone and Ellen Page would be good choices. Any young star will do but Miley Cyrus.
April 17th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
They are not making an All-American Girl movie yet. Meg Cabot wrote in her blog (http://www.megcabot.com/diary/) on Sunday, April 6, 2008 that she still owns film rights.
And even if they do make one eventually, I really hope Miley isn’t Sam. I have nothing against Miley; she just isn’t at all the right person for the role, in my opinion.
April 17th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Tought this was a porn website but whatever
June 8th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Miley Cyrus will completely ruin this role if she is to play Samantha. This is one of my favorite Meg Cabot books and I’d love to see it become a movie but not if Miley Cyrus is in the lead role.
June 14th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
OMGGG why the hell is Miley playing her part??
she’s gonna ruin it!
ughh
July 12th, 2008 at 9:54 am
I hate Miley because she is not a good singer actress or Dancer She ois sick
August 25th, 2008 at 10:03 am
Miley Should Play Samantha
September 8th, 2008 at 9:59 am
I think Miley is completly wrong for the roal. She’s a complete BIMBO. The kind of person Sam Maddison would HATE. I hope the movie is made because I loved the book aswell as The Mediator Series - also needs to be made into a movie! COME ON DISNEY!
September 28th, 2008 at 5:10 am
miley will just be wrong for samantha miley’s 2 prissy
October 12th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
I havent read the book yet but i think its great miley is breaking away from hannah montana
!! - I love that show but she has to break away somtime (: !! - P.s if you guys hate miley keep it to your selfs !!
- Miiileeeyy rocks !!
November 4th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
IF I SEE MILEY ON THAT SCREEN AS SAM…I WILL SHOOT THE SCREEN (AT HER) AND GO TO WHOEVER DID THE CASTINGS AND SCREAM AT THEM FOR ONE HOUR STRAIGHT ON HOW MUCH THEY SUCK AT THEIR JOB!! MILEY BETTER NOT RUIN MY FAV BOOK OR I WILL DO STUFF!!
November 4th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Me and my friend will have to bust a cap if Miley is the lead.
I mean, Miley Cyrus’s 15 minutes of fame is freakin OVER! Yea she did her little
{Im a regular girl AND a pop star! yea!}
Meg Cabot should make a casting call for ppl who are NOT famous so other ppl can be famous! {and so Miley can’t be in the movie unless she EARNS it!}
November 10th, 2008 at 9:47 pm
It doesn’t matter if the person doing the role of samantha is famous or not. it’s just MILEY CYRUS?! dude STAY IN DISNEY CHANNEL!! or doing that pop singing u do. in my perspective samantha has always been one of the coolest characters i have read about. she is not afraid to be SARCASTIC, DIRECT, ARTISTIC, and totally hating the world!! miley cyrus? pff practically half brainwashed ppl follow her every move! what does she have to hate?! i’m sorry but i just hope they select a series actress, not some pop star just doing some random movie to get even more famous. i hope they pic the right actress, and actor for david
i’m going to go reread the book again!
January 8th, 2009 at 2:07 am
I’m not that much of a Miley fan either, and personal if she were to take on the role of Samantha i’d of died and gone to production hell. But, who could that on the role of Samantha and David? and have the movie stay as faithful to the novella as possible.
January 12th, 2009 at 10:03 pm
mm….let’s see…who noes….i just hope fr the best. wat if miley turns up to be ok
January 15th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Miley isnt too bad. They call actors, actors because they can act. Miley can easily change her personality to suit the character. What I want to know is…whos playing david?
January 20th, 2009 at 10:14 am
hi miley its me lilly i love you.
January 27th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
there is NO WAY miley could pull off the role of samantha madison! they should have open auditions. samantha is supposed to be someone that no one has ever heard of. miley is just…wrong for that part.
February 12th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
miley is great but she can sooooooooooooo not be samantha she is more of a lucy if she is cast as sam i won’t even go it will be to sad
April 28th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
April 28th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! miley cy(SUCKS) should not play the part she is not the girl sam is.She is tooo ugly and discusting!! do not ruin the character in (all american girl)the book. i adore sam but i guess if miley will play the part im going to hate her!:(
May 14th, 2009 at 3:44 am
no wayyyy. i loved that book and both raven and miley are not who i envisioned would play sam. i always imagined amy davidson, who played kerry in 8 simple rules to play her, but of course she’s too old now. what about willa holland?
May 14th, 2009 at 3:50 am
also, i think Jesse Swenson would make a good David.
June 19th, 2009 at 5:26 am
I was thinking, because The Princess Diaries film was so disappointing and nothing at all like the books, that there should be a TV series based on the books, like what was done with Gossip Girl. There have been 10 books based on Mia’s life from the age of 14 to 18. There are many aspiring young actresses out there who would fit into the role.
July 5th, 2009 at 4:39 am
Not Miley, please. Can’t a totally unfamous person play Sam? It would definitely fit her character much better, instead of someone that already is famous and know it and act like it (diva).
July 13th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
i really like miley cyrus but she definitely isn’t right for the part of samantha madison.
August 2nd, 2009 at 10:08 pm
I love LOVE that book but I think miley is not the right girl mileys to pretty because Sam isn’t supposed to be popular but she would look popular
August 11th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
my life has been ruined by this article. this is my favorite book. i dislike (i’d use another term, but, alas, the rules!) miley cyrus, her acting is the worst, and she could NOT be Sam. Plus, I bet Disney would find some way to put her singing into it, which would further ruin my life.
Aw. I’m dead. This is so sad.
August 11th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
i think jack should be played by the guy who played Warren Peace in Sky High.
August 28th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Isnt Samatha Maddison supposed to be like, red curly hair, wears black and listenes to gwen stefani? I mean i dont think Miley syrus or raven samone are good for this part! I think miley might be more suited for the part of Lucy. Sam would have a field day with that! WHOS PLAYING DAVID??????
September 29th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
I agree that Miley is all wrong for this role or role for that matter. She would ruin the whole movie. The movie theatres would be filled with people who think she has talent. These people are lying to themselves.
October 7th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
ilove miley and all but my stomach kinda dropped when i heard she would play that cause then everyone i know will be lyers and suddenly say ilove that book i so read it and so on when i was the one reading while they were playing ha losers !p.s. i dont care if u dont like miley its ur opinion like a true miley fan i can like her and notcare if u do or dont so dont give me crap about it
October 18th, 2009 at 10:49 am
The Book Is Awesomee But Hello If Miley Gonna Play The Role Well The Movie Is Gonna Be Boring .. Iam Not Miley’s Hater Nor Fan .. But She Is Not Gonna Play It Serious .. It Will Be A kid’s Movie !!

October 18th, 2009 at 10:51 am
