The Weinstein Company just walked away in triumph from the Oscars, with a Best Picture statue and three others for The King's Speech. So what are they going to do next? Team up with Miley Cyrus, of course! In a press release the studio announced they'll be distributing So Undercover, the action comedy starring Cyrus in a kind of 21 Jump Street situation, going undercover at a college sorority to protect the daughter of a former mobster.

Cyrus, known pretty much exclusively as Hannah Montana from her TV show and massive concert tour, made her first non-Hannah film last year with The Last Song, an adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel that performed about as well as those things usually do. So Undercover actually sounds even more like the Hannah Montana series-- the dual identities, the flock of sorority girls who will likely surround her, even the notion of it being a caper. Cyrus is clearly trying to be considered as a serious actress beyond just her tween audience, but there seems to be plenty here for them too.

Tom Vaughn, who last made What Happens In Vegas, directed the film, which also stars Jeremy Piven, Mike O'Malley and Kelly Osbourne. Here's a few quotes from the press release in case you need to read about various Hollywood figures complimenting each other. So Undercover is set for release in October this year.

“We’re excited to be working with Miley Cyrus as she transitions from child phenomenon to grown-up star. She’s got charisma and talent to burn, and SO UNDERCOVER shows her to be a deft comedic actress,” said Glasser. “This deal is a testament to the savvy instincts of Peter Lawson and his acquisitions team in scouting and securing those projects that will enhance TWC’s release slate.”

“We are thrilled to know that the film is now in great hands with Harvey Weinstein and his amazingly talented team at The Weinstein Company,” said Sinclair and East. Exclusive Films International (EFI), the International sales and marketing arm of Exclusive, is handling worldwide sales of this title and has sold most major foreign territories prior to and while at the European Film Market in Berlin last week.
