Miley Cyrus chatted with Reuters about remaking ‘LOL: Laughing Out Loud’ a ‘really dark, edgy and cool’ movie [US remake of a 2009 French movie]. Miley: ‘It is pretty gnarly. It is about a daughter who is involved with all the wrong kids, doing drugs, failing school, but the mother has her on this perfect pedestal. I just fell in love with the story.’ On ‘The Last Song’:

‘I had been wanting to get out of what people think as the obvious choice for me to do next. You have no idea how many musicals came to my door. It was so freeing to not be, like ‘Alright, I’m happy!’ and getting to be real and working with life’s real emotions. People are so used to me playing the happy girl. A new chapter is beginning and one that has been my life for the past five years is ending. It is interesting to be leaving my security blanket behind, but also it is exciting for me to get involved in this movie career.’

On her final album: ‘This is my last record for a little while. I am going to take a break from music. I just want to continue doing film. I really want to focus and perfect one craft, and that’s going to be movies for me. I hope I’ll do a record sometime later but for right now, it is the last thing on my mind.’ Won’t that mean a lot of disappointed young fans? ‘Yeah, I know. But hopefully they will go see my movies.’
