Cyrus Hopes Tenn. Can Get ‘Hannah’ Film
Almost bigger than Superbowl tickets at this point, Hannah Montana is bigger and bigger it seems.
Singer Billy Ray Cyrus wants his daughter’s upcoming “Hannah Montana” film to be shot in Tennessee, but state officials say they might not be able to offer the producers enough financial incentives.
“The thing of it is, Walt Disney really wants to film this movie in Tennessee,” Billy Ray Cyrus said.
Perry Gibson, executive director of the Tennessee Film, Entertainment and Music Commission, said the state could benefit from having the movie shot locally.
“It would mean a real impact on tourism and it would be a family friendly film that would come to the state,” she said. But Tennessee is limited in what incentives it can offer, she said. More info
