LOS ANGELES - Hannah Montana mania has already conquered TV, the music industry and the touring world. Now it's set to take over the film industry - for one week.

On Friday, theaters nationwide will show “Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert,” a 3-D film version of the sellout tour - and already, tickets for the film are in short supply. Clearly the “Hannah Montana” brand - which started as a Disney TV series but has branched out into multiplatinum albums and stage shows - hasn't reached saturation point.

Which is all good for the 15-year-old star behind the phenomenon, Miley Cyrus. In the past year, she's become a sensation that sells tabloids besides albums and tickets. Her fame would be hard for most adults to handle, but in a recent interview with The Associated Press, Miley seemed to have a good grasp on how to handle the spotlight.

AP: Why do a film version of the tour in 3-D?

Miley: It was mostly because of the tickets and there were so many people that didn't get to come to the show. This is like better than front row. You could reach out and feel like you can touch my hand you could see me right then. Right there, right in front of you, which is so fun. Also just to be able to see behind the scenes which I think is the most clever part of anything. Just getting to see what all goes into this. They can walk around knowing what real hard work it is. I mean I think I have the easiest job.

AP: The movie also features your tour partners, the Jonas Brothers What was it like to perform with them?

Miley: With the Jonases our music is similar but it's definitely not exact. There is a different vibe with the Hannah vibe and the Miley vibe. It's just so many different tastes of music that to have it all in one show it's just cool to introduce the kids to.

AP: Why do you think the Hannah Montana craze exploded last year?

Miley: The kids can relate - like once again with the 3-D movie, it will be even better. They don't even know what they have coming when they get to see it. Just that Hannah Montana and the show are so relatable that not only the celebrity part of it but just getting to see the normal girl underneath it all is really incredible.

AP: Do you think you've been able to create your own identity outside of your famous character?

Miley: This tour was a really good way of doing that. Just kind of breaking out and having my music and get to have not only doing press stuff all the time and being like, 'Miley Miley Miley.' You get to go out in front of 20,000 people every night and show who you really are. I think that's one of the best parts.
