MILEY CYRUS PULLS OUT OF SONY ANIMATED FEATURE 'HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA'

Talented or irritating, whichever preference you want to pigeon-hole her in Miley Cyrus is probably going to be around for some time. Though it seems the saucy young singer will be saving her vocal talents by reportedly pulling out of Sony Pictures' 'Hotel Transylvania'. Miley (below) was due to voice the role of Mavis, Dracula's daughter, in the animated movie from director Genndy Tartakovsky ('Star Wars: Clone Wars'). Dracula will be voiced by Adam Sandler ('Little Nicky') and a whole host of 'funny people' are set to voice various monstrous characters in the family-friendly tale including Andy Samberg, Steve Buscemi ('Monster House'), David Koechner ('Final Destination 5'), Fran Drescher, Molly Shannon, Kevin James and David Spade. So the hunt is on for a suitable replacement.

"Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's (Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free from meddling from the human world. But here's a little known fact about Dracula: He is not only the Prince of Darkness; he is also a dad. Over-protective of his teenage daughter, Mavis, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to dissuade her adventurous spirit. As a haven for Mavis, he opens the Hotel Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world's most famous monsters – Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more – can kick back in safety and peace. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem – but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis."
