Hollywood Ink: Miley Cyrus, Reluctant Dream Girl

· Miley Cyrus is attached to star in Wake, an adaptation of the popular young-adult novel about a 17-year-old girl reluctantly sucked into people's dreams. You can see where this is going: She's pulled into someone's nightmare, and voila, a new tween franchise is born. Which is odd, because she's usually so zen about these kinds of things. [THR]

An unlikely trio gets macho, Brian Grazer and Ron Howard get Legend-ary, and more Hollywood Ink after the jump.

· Well, this is a little on-the-nose: Christian Slater, Gary Oldman and Dane Cook are signed on for Girls, Guns and Gambling, a "stylized crime thriller" bringing together "Elvis impersonators, Indians, modern cowboys, a 6-foot-tall blond assassin, a frat boy, a corrupt sheriff and a prostitute [in] a chase for a priceless American Indian artifact stolen during a poker game at an Indian casino." Slater and Oldman are among the Elvis impersonators, Cook will play a sheriff, and thousands will perish below a mudslide of quirk. Someone call FEMA. [THR]

· Imagine Entertainment picked up the rights to the graphic novel Legends, which juxtaposes folk myths like Red Riding Hood and Jack the Giant Killer in the darker scenario of trying to figure out who murdered Pinocchio. Look, I just write what's there, I can't make this stuff up. [THR]

· Hey-ohh, the indie market continues to kind of pick up: Variance Films acquired Ulee's Gold director Victor Nunez's latest Spoken Word, about a poet who winds up slipping into his old, bad routines upon moving back to New Mexico to take care of his ill father. You know -- 18 syllable haiku, slant rhymes, those kinds of things. [Press release]
