Miley Cyrus has announced she’ll return for a few more episodes of her hit Disney cable show, “Hannah Montana,” and then she tackles another Disney project — a sequel to the Chicago-set 1987 comedy “Adventures in Babysitting.”

Adventures in Babysitting is a 1987 comedy film written by David Simkins, directed by Chris Columbus, and starring Elisabeth Shue, Bradley Whitford, Maia Brewton, Anthony Rapp, Penelope Ann Miller, Keith Coogan, and a brief cameo by blues singer/guitarist Albert Collins. Although it is set in Oak Park and Chicago, Illinois, with much of the action taking place in the city itself, the movie was filmed primarily in Toronto.

Fellow tween star Raven Symone will co-star in the sequel, currently titled “Further Adventures in Babysitting.” The movie is set for a 2010 release.

According to Variety, Tiffany Paulsen (“Nancy drew”) is writing the script.

The original “Adventures” starred Elisabeth Shue as a suburban Chicago high school senior whose dull night of babysitting is interrupted by a call for help from a friend. Madcap misadventures ensue. (Our favorite bit part: a young Vincent D'Onofrio as “Thor.”)

Though the film was set in Oak Park and Chicago, much of the filming was done in Toronto.
