We mentioned last week that Cody Linley (Hannah Montana’s Jake Ryan) would be starring in a new Disney Channel Original Movie entitled “Starstruck”, but now it looks like that information was wrong! According to a press release released by Disney, the movie will star Sterling Knight!
(Update: Disney sources have told us that Cody Linley was replaced by Sterling Knight because of scheduling issues. Cody will be taking to the stage in a Broadway play called “Over Here”. Congrats Cody!!)
Production has begun on “Starstruck,” a music-filled Disney Channel Original Movie starring Sterling Knight (“Sonny With A Chance”) and introducing Danielle Campbell. Slated to premiere in 2010, the movie is filming in and around Los Angeles at landmark locations including Hollywood Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, the Hollywood Sign, Grauman’s Chinese Theater and the Venice Boardwalk.
The story follows Jessica Olson (played by Campbell), a down-to-earth girl from the Midwest who collides (literally) with Hollywood’s teen heartthrob, pop star Christopher Wilder (played by Knight). They wind up on a love-struck adventure in Southern California, but their bond is tested when she returns home and he publicly denies their relationship.
Also starring are Brandon Mychal Smith (“Sonny With A Chance”) as Stubby, Christopher’s childhood best friend; Maggie Castle (“The Time Traveler’s Wife”) as Sara Olson, Jessica’s older, star struck sister; and Dan O’Connor (“Malcolm in the Middle”) and Beth Littleford (Disney XD’s upcoming “I’m in the Band”, “Rules of Engagement”) as Dean and Barbara Olson, Jessica and Sara’s parents.
Knight and Smith have become familiar faces to Disney Channel fans since the debut of their hit series “Sonny With A Chance.” Since its February 2009 premiere, “Sonny With A Chance” is TV’s No. 1 program in its Sunday 8:00 p.m. time period in Kids 6-11 and Tweens 9-14, and ranks among TV’s Top 5 programs overall in the target demos.
The movie’s soundtrack will feature songs written by songwriters Mitch Allan, Jessi Alexander, Adam Anders, Aris Aronchitis, Peer Astrom, Ali Dee, Andy Dodd, Nikki Hassman, Jeannie Lurie, Niclas Molinder, Chen Neeman, Joacim Persson and Adam Watts.
What do you think about this movie? I am glad it’s “music-filled”!

I Would love to be in Disney’ Starstruck movie
Oh I would loveeee to be in this movie!!!!!!
Is this a movie or series? Because is it just me or this is way too much like Sonny with a Chance? Like Sterling Knight plays the hearthrob, and theres a down to earth girl that ‘collides’ with him? Like Sonny and Chad always ‘collide’ in the hallway… And Brandon smith is here too.
@Jessica – it’s a Disney Channel Original Movie. It does sound a bit similar to Sonny with a Chance. You are right about that.
THEY’RE FILMING THAT MOVIE AT OUR SCHOOL O.O omg wow. . .
I’ve been on the set & it’s a good looking movie.

I worked on this today! Sterling & Danielle are super sweet.

No! I’ve been waiting forever for Cody to have his own DCOM or DCOS! Not that I think Sterling won’t do a good job though, but I wish it were Cody. I’ve heard him sing and play guitar and he’s actually pretty good.
