Hannah Montana: The Movie recently held its premiere in Nashville, just before the film opened nationwide. The film, based on the Disney series, stars Nashville native, Miley Cyrus and her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.
The movie was filmed in various locations around Middle Tennessee over a three-month period last summer. The film featured local country stars like Taylor Swift, Rascal Flatts and Bucky Covington. Originally, the movie was set to film in Louisiana until the Cyruses - who own a farm in Middle Tennessee - petitioned for filming in Tennessee, with Billy Ray even flying to Tennessee and photographed location options and convinced Disney to let Tennessee compete for the film. The Tennessee Film and Music Commission negotiated with Disney
According to Cyrus, “When you see the film, and the state, and its people, Tennessee really shines.”
The film features sites like The Hermitage Hotel in downtown Nashville, Columbia’s town square, and Smiley Hollow picnic grounds in Robertson County. Miley claimed “I feel Tennessee is just as big a character as any of the actors in the movie”.
The premiere for the movie was held at the Green Hills Regal Cinema in Nashville and was attended by Nashville Mayor Karl Dean and his family, as well as many country stars. The Hannah Montana movie joins “Walk the Line”, “The Last Castle” and “The Jungle Book” as Tennessee-based productions. The state offers financial incentives for filming, as movies provide jobs throughout a multitude of industries.
