Nicholas Sparks is raining in the big bucks. Two books have been made into movies this year: the romantic Dear John and  his new film,  The Last Song, which was written in just a few months. His new film centers around a seventeen-year-old girl visiting her father for the summer. Usually Sparks goes for an older couple, but in this case he specifically thought Miley Cyrus should play the seventeen-year-old girl Ronnie. The Cyrus family had asked Sparks if he had any movies she could be in and he sat down and got to work on the screenplay.

Then, he had the Cyrus family look over her part to see if Miley could play the character Ronnie. They loved the character and Sparks got to work on the book. When authors write, they usually start with the book -- any potential screenplay usually comes later.

I thought the book would be written more like a screenplay but that wasn't the case. The book was fantastic! Even though I'm not a huge fan of Miley, I think that she will play the part well. This movie comes out in April.  This movie has a lot of emotion which ranges from complete happiness to complete distress. I hope it's as good as all his others.
