Miley Cyrus had a wild idea to turn the trippy horror film 'MANDY' into a full-blown musical with herself in the starring role.

- Cyrus reportedly pitched the idea to 'MANDY' director Panos Cosmatos, who was intrigued but ultimately decided against it, preferring to keep the film in its original form.
- Industry insiders say Cyrus was convinced she could bring her own brand of edgy, larger-than-life energy to the role of the vengeful protagonist, but Cosmatos felt the material was too dark and psychedelic to translate well to a musical format.
