Is Miley Cyrus a born star? (We know what her achy breaky father would say). At least we know she wasn’t just handed her role as Lola in LOL, Lisa Azuelos’ American adaptation of her hit French film: she had to screen test like everyone else. In the newly surfaced video, Miley runs through the script with Ashley Hinshaw and Lind Esco, two of her co-stars. It may not be much of an acting stretch, but Miley sounds like a typically fast-talking, somewhat inappropriate teenage girl. (“You’re on a long ride to skankville,” she tells a friend). She’s no natural — and that’s particularly clear when she’s next to real, working actors. But did she just land the perfect part for her personality?
In the screen test, Miley talks with her friends about one of their crushes, and at one point pretends to field a phone call from her mother, who will be played by Demi Moore in the film. “What? No I’m not wearing your cashmere sweater, Mom.” AS IF.
The big question for Miley as she pursues her silver screen ambitions will be whether she can overcome critics’ skepticism and improve from her last performance, in 2010′s The Last Song. Rotten Tomatoes’ critics panned that film as “shamelessly manipulative” and noted that Cyrus was “miscast and overmatched”.
LOL is expected to kick off in theaters (in limited release) May 4.
Is there a chance Miley can be considered a legitimate actress? Let us know on Facebook, Twitter or in the comments.
I am SO looking forward to seeing this awesome movie! I was on the set for most of the summer two years ago when they filmed it. It was the first time I ever saw a movie being filmed and I have been looking forward to seeing it ever since. Now Lionsgate finally announces the “limited” release date. We must have 200 movie theaters in town and I can’t find a theater within 500 miles that is showing it – well 2,000 miles anywhere in the USA for that matter :( How can I find a theater?
I think the video was hot. I see alot of haters on here obvolusiy, but she’s not a 12 year old anymore and that’s what every ones use to. She’s going places with her life and career and this is her next move it seems more people are mad to see people go place’s then do nothing with their lives. If it was you or your daughter you wouldn’t be hating or talking all that trash about it. I respect what she’s doing knowing alot of people are gonna talk but she’s not gonna stop living her life the way she wants to satisfy everyone else. When you live your life according to the way people want you to they find something to talk about, when you do what ever you want they still find something to talk about, might as well live it the way you want!
