Miley Cyrus has announced that she will be filming a role unlike any she has done before this summer. Miley will be playing a rebellious teen who is sent to spend the summer with her estranged dad in her upcoming drama The Last Song.

Miley said, “I’ve always been lucky to play parts that relate to me, and this doesn’t at all,” she says of her upcoming role, without revealing much else about the movie. “I have my issues, but not as bad as this chick. So I’m happy to play someone that’s just kind of out there and not someone that I’m like.”

The Last Song is a scripted adaption of Nicholas Sparks’ upcoming novel. The novel will be released to bookstores in the Fall, the film however will not hit theaters until 2010. The Last Song will be produced by a subsidiary company of Disney and produced by none other than Miss Miley’s mom, Tish Cyrus.

The Last Song is set to start production in June of 2009 and will be directed by Julie Anne Robinson who has directed episodes of ABC shows including Grey’s Anatomy, Big Love and Weeds.

We wonder how Miley will do in a role that isn’t necessarily meant for teens and tweens. This could be the start of the climb, or the fall, of her movie career. Yikes!
